Frequently Asked Questions

How do I sprout whole mung beans? Soak overnight, drain, and place in a colander covered with a damp cloth in a warm spot. Rinse twice daily for 24–48 hours until tails form.

Are sprouted mung beans healthier than cooked? Sprouting increases vitamin C, B vitamins and enzyme content, and reduces phytic acid which can interfere with mineral absorption.

Can whole mung beans be used in soups? Yes — they add a hearty, chewy element to vegetable soups and stews without needing to be pre-soaked for slow cooker preparations.
