Moong, or mung bean  is a small green legume widely consumed, especially in Asia. Known for its high protein, fiber, and essential nutrients like B vitamins and iron, it supports digestive health, weight management, and heart health, and helps control blood sugar levels. Moong can be used in savory dishes, snacks, and desserts, and is often sprouted for added nutrition. Its culinary versatility includes boiling, pressure cooking, and soaking. Integral to Indian and Asian cuisines, moong is also valued in Ayurvedic diets for its health benefits and ease of digestion.
