"Mung beans (Vigna radiata) are small, green beans that belong to the legume family. This is a super healthy salad using germinated mung beans that is tasty as well as simple. It is light and delicious and can be eaten throughout the year. Making the salad does need a couple of days of preparation ahead of when you want it. Sprouted beans contain fewer calories and more free amino acids and six times more antioxidants like flavonoids and phenolic acid than unsprouted ones. Sprouts are incredibly versatile and can be also used in stir fries, soups, spring rolls or as a garnish"
