Guest guest Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 Hi, I ran out of mung beans and used aduki and I got to thinking, why is it mung beans? Why not any bean? Or what makes mung beans so special? Thanks a bunch, Sat Avtar Kaur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 BLASPHEMY!!! (just kidding) no ...you are right...its just a traditional Indian dish. Mung beans are the least nutritious of beans...if you use Basmati for rice it all taste good, but forget it for nutrition. Aduki is far higher in Protein and everything else. But aduki will change the taste considerably... Kundalini-Yoga , " MyraL " <myralorey wrote: > > Hi, > > I ran out of mung beans and used aduki and I got to thinking, why is it mung beans?

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 Sat Avtar Kaur - I wondered the same thing about mung beans, as I recently made lentils and rice and cooked it just like mung beans and rice, and it was fabulous. But I remember something in my first level teacher training about mung beans being specifically easiest for the body to digest. I have never had a problem with lentils or black beans, but other beans sometimes cause a lot of problems for me digestively - so maybe that's it. Mung beans are just easier to digest than most other beans. Anyone else out there know the "for sure" answer to this question?

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Very good protein and when cooked thoroughly considered to be "pre-digested" meaning very easy to digest - I believe.
