What it is

Sprouted mung beans are whole mung beans that have been allowed to germinate or sprout before being used in food. This process, typically done by soaking the beans in water, can increase the availability of certain nutrients and change the texture and flavor.

Why it's used

Health notes

Sprouted mung beans are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. They are a source of fiber and protein. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated mung beans and their components, but specific evaluations for sprouted mung beans as a distinct ingredient are less common. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming sprouted mung beans in typical dietary amounts.
