What is this food?
AI-assisted Boiled green mung beans (mung bean seed, green, dried). They’re small legumes that become soft and are commonly used in soups, stews, and desserts.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted Green mung beans are a good plant-based option for energy and fiber (about 11 g fiber per 100 g), which helps keep you full and supports healthy digestion. They also provide carbohydrates with relatively low sugar (about 2.9 g sugar), and they’re naturally low in fat and cholesterol. Since they’re still a starchy legume, pairing them with vegetables and lean protein helps balance your meal—especially if you’re having them at one of your 3 full meals.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted - For a balanced plate: add mung beans with non-starchy vegetables (e.g., pechay, sayote, carrots) and a source of protein (fish, chicken, egg, or tofu).
- Watch portion size if you’re also eating rice or noodles in the same meal—choose either mung beans as the main carb or keep rice to a smaller serving.
- Rinse well and boil until tender for easier digestion.
- If you’re having it as a snack, try a smaller bowl and pair with fruit or yogurt to round out the meal.
Common Filipino dishes
