Unikisan Organic Green Moong

Organic green moong, also known as green gram or mung beans, is a nutritious and versatile legume sold by Unikisan in Bangalore. When labeled as organic, it means the moong is grown using environmentally friendly methods, free from synthetic pesticides and fertilizers.

Here’s a detailed description of organic green moong:

1. Appearance: Organic green moong beans are small, oval-shaped, and typically have a vibrant green color. When the beans are split, they reveal a pale yellow interior.
2. Texture and Flavor: These beans have a mild, slightly nutty flavor with a subtle sweetness. The texture is firm yet tender once cooked, making it an ideal base for a variety of dishes.
3. Nutritional Value: Green moong is a powerhouse of nutrition. It is an excellent source of protein, especially important for vegetarians and vegans. It also provides dietary fiber, vitamins (such as B vitamins and folate), and essential minerals like iron, magnesium, and potassium.
4. Health Benefits: Consuming organic green moong can support overall health in several ways:
   • Digestive Health: The high fiber content aids digestion and helps prevent constipation.
   • Blood Sugar Management: Its low glycemic index helps in maintaining stable blood sugar levels.
   • Heart Health: Rich in antioxidants and nutrients that support cardiovascular health.
   • Weight Management: Being high in protein and fiber, it helps in feeling full longer, which can aid in weight control.
5. Usage: Organic green moong is incredibly versatile in the kitchen. It can be used in various forms:
   • Whole: Cooked as a side dish, added to soups, stews, or salads.
   • Split (Moong Daal): Used in Indian dishes such as dal, sambar, and khichdi.
   • Sprouted: Adds a crunchy texture and additional nutrients to salads and sandwiches.
   • Flour: Ground into moong flour, used in recipes for pancakes, fritters, and other baked goods.
6. Cooking Tips: For best results, rinse the green moong beans thoroughly before cooking. Soaking them for a few hours or overnight can help reduce cooking time and improve texture. You can cook them in a pressure cooker, stovetop pot, or slow cooker. Adding spices and herbs enhances their flavor, making them a delicious addition to a wide range of dishes.
