Mung beans 500g VIVIO

How do I prepare mung beans?

Soak the beans in cold water before cooking. This phase lasts 8 to 9 hours. There is an option to pour boiling water over the beans. Then the soaking time is reduced to 3-4 hours. The water in which the seeds were soaked should be discarded. Put the beans in boiling salted water. It should contain twice as much water as the seeds. Cook the beans over high heat for the first 10 minutes to remove any toxins from the beans. Then reduce the heat and cook for about half an hour while collecting the foam that appears on the surface of the water. The mung bean is ready to eat when the seed breaks up when pressed with a fork. Until then, no spices or other additives should be added to the beans, as these can change the taste of the seeds or make them hard. Mung beans can also be cooked without soaking, but this method cooks them much faster, and eating them should not cause gas.
