One of the most cherished foods in Ayurveda, where they're eaten to balance all three doshas, mung beans are loaded with natural goodness, including protein and dietary fibre! With their mild-sweet flavour, they're super versatile. Popular combined with rice to make khichari, but great hot or cold in just about anything - hearty meals, soups and salads.
TO COOK: Soak overnight. Add 1 cup of beans to 4 cups boiling water. Cover and simmer for 40-60 minutes, until tender.
