What it is

Mung bean protein is a plant-based protein derived from mung beans, a small, green legume native to the Indian subcontinent. The protein is typically extracted from the beans through processes that separate the protein components from carbohydrates and fiber.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use mung bean protein as a meat alternative and a source of plant-based protein in foods like burgers, sausages, and other meat analogs. It can also be found in protein powders and some baked goods.

Health notes

Mung bean protein is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of essential amino acids and is often used in plant-based diets to boost protein intake. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated proteins from legumes, but specific evaluations for mung bean protein's safety at typical dietary levels are not widely publicized.

Allergen info

Mung bean protein is not derived from one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It is also gluten-free.
