Description
Moong bean is the seed of Vigna radiate, which is native to India. The beans are small, ovoid in shape, and green in colour. They are generally eaten either whole (with or without skins) or as bean sprouts, either in raw, soaked or boiled form. Moong beans are used to make salads, soups, subzis, and other delicious dishes. The starch of moong beans is also extracted from them to make jellies and transparent/cellophane noodles.
