Mung beans are small-size, green-husked legumes originating from South America, which have been known for thousands of years. They have a slightly sweet flavor, which is why they can be prepared in both savory and sweet versions. Thanks to their diversity, they have a range of different uses. They are frequently used to make pasta, soups and desserts in India, China and Indonesia.
