What mung beans are
Mung beans (Vigna radiata), also known as green gram or moong, are the small, cylindrical seeds of a warm-season legume. The seed coat is usually green, either shiny or dull depending on the variety, and the inside is yellow. Mung beans typically contain about 22–26% protein on a dry basis and are easy to digest and quick to cook. Because they germinate readily, mung beans are the most common bean used for sprouts.

Sprouting-grade beans also go to markets in Europe, North America and Japan. India is the largest producer and also an importer. Major exporting countries include Myanmar, China, Australia, and several East African and Central Asian producers.
