Exceptional nutritional value
Dry whole mung beans, values for the raw, uncooked seeds.
Dry whole mung beans as sold, cooked into dal, soups and porridges or sprouted. A 60 g dry portion gives about 210 kcal, 14 g of protein and 10 g of fiber, and is very high in folate and copper, with plenty of thiamin, magnesium, manganese and iron. Log the dry weight: mung beans swell to about 3.3 times their weight when cooked, so 60 g dry makes about 200 g cooked.
