If you're looking to power up your health, you must remember the body's 'gatekeeper.' The green mung beens will detoxify, cool and strengthen your liver, the miracle organ, vital for proper functioning of the body. These small legumes are anti-inflammatory, high in soluble and insoluble fiber and potassium. They are also a great source of healthy protein with no saturated fat, vitamins C and B6, amino acids, and can be eaten either raw or cooked. You can add the green mung beans to anything from salads, soups, stir-fries, to pizzas and curries. The mung bean paste, with its slightly sweet flavour, incorporates well into frozen desserts. The majestic mung bean has been found to suppress the HMGB1 (High Mobility Group Box-1), which turns on the release of cytokines that generate inflammation within the body. If it's time for a detox, look no further than green mung bean soup, excellent for turning off your body's aging switch.
