That clutter in the back? No special effects.
Mung beans are holy in ancient Indian Ayurvedic medicine, they originate in India and Pakistan, and contain dietary fiber, thiamin, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and copper. Also a good source of folate, for those looking to get pregnant.
And a bit of trivia: Where do you think bean sprouts that you get from Chinese restaurants come from, smarty pants? Mung beans. So if you like the taste of those, these are just a little bit nuttier.
The Gordons traditionally put them in salad, but I saw this little creation yesterday and thought I would share:
Those are French lentils, grape tomatoes sliced in half and mung beans. Add to this a little salad dressing OR salt, pepper, lemon juice and a small bit of olive oil. Pretty, pretty good.
Yum, that looks delicious. Did you know that preggos are not allowed to eat sprouts of any kind? When I get this little baby parasite out of here, it's all sprouts and champagne, all the time.
