Organic Moong Dhal
Country of Origin: India
Moong Dhal are split mung beans.
Mung beans originated in India, but are also traditionally
used in Chinese and other Asian cuisine.
From a nutrition perspective, mung beans are high in
phytoestrogens like genistein and daidzein, calcium, protein (non complete), iron (non-heme), zinc,
folate, complex carbohydrates and lastly fibre for proper and regular digestive
functioning.
From a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective, mung beans
are cooling, associated with stomach and spleen, tonifies Yin therefore useful for Yin deficiency
symptoms and great as a detoxifying food as it is said to "cleanse the blood", especially
sprouted mung beans.
Remember that combining beans or pulses with a grain (like
rice) gives you complete protein.
NOTE: Before use, all beans should be soaked in cold
water overnight or for at least ten hours. Make sure you cover the beans with a large volume of
water because they will swell up considerably. When ready to cook, discard the soaking water and
briefly rinse the beans under running water.
