 How to cook Ginisang Monggo (Mung Beans):

  1. In a large stew pan, boil the monggo (munggo) for about 35 to 50 mins.
  2. On a separate pan, sauté the garlic, onion and tomato. Add the sliced pork, sauté, cover and let it simmer for at least 5 minutes.

When sprouted, mung beans contain vitamin C that is not found in the bean itself. High in fibre, low in saturated fat, low in sodium, and contain no cholesterol. Monggo contains folic acid or folate that helps to lower the risk of heart disease, fights birth defects, contributes to normal cell growth, helps in the metabolism of proteins, and is essential for the formation of red blood cells and for healing processes in the body.

LITTLE TRIVIA:

The mung or moong bean (also known as green gram or golden gram) is the seed of Vigna radiata, native to the Indian subcontinent, and mainly cultivated in India, Pakistan, China, Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia, Burma, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, but also in hot and dry regions of Southern Europe and the Southern United States. It is used as an ingredient in both savory and sweet dishes.
