Natco Whole Green Moong Beans 500g, labelled Mung Beans on the pack, are whole dried mung beans with their green skins intact. Also called sabut moong, whole mung or green gram, these small beans bring a gently earthy flavour and tender centres to cooked dishes. They are different from split skin-on moong dal chilka and skinless yellow moong dal. The 500g pack is a practical size for smaller households or for trying whole-moong recipes without storing a larger bag.
Whole green moong is useful when you want a textured bean dish rather than a smooth dal. The green skins remain visible as the centres soften, giving curries and soups a rustic finish. Cook until tender while retaining individual beans for a cooked bean salad, or simmer further for a softer curry with a thicker sauce. Their mild flavour pairs well with ginger, garlic, cumin and tomato, with lemon and fresh coriander adding brightness at serving.
Use a portion for a simple sabut moong curry, a vegetable stew or a rice-based khichdi. Rinse and check the beans before preparation, follow the soaking and cooking instructions on the current pack, and cook thoroughly until tender. Adjust the liquid and cooking time to your recipe and equipment. For salads, use thoroughly cooked, drained beans. Sprouting suitability is not established by the whole-bean form alone, so follow any specific guidance on your current pack.
