Mung bean (Maash, Moong) - sprouting seeds.
Sprouted mung beans are a treasure trove of vitamins and minerals!
The homeland of these beans is India: in the Hindi language this type of bean culture is called "Mung".
In Asian countries, mung beans are as staple as bread in Europe.
Mung beans (mash) can be added to almost all ready-made dishes, and the addition of sprouts of these beans is most appreciated, since they contain a lot of protein and other useful substances.
The nutritional value of the product is high:
100 g of seedlings contains: 3.08 - proteins; 0.19 - fat; 5.96 - carbohydrates; 16.3 - fiber.
The calorie content of sprouted mung bean: 29.81 kcal per 100 g, in a thermally processed product there are more calories - 105.
When beans germinate, not only the mass and volume increases several times, but also the content of nutrients (fiber will increase by 2%, vitamin C by 35%: 97 mg / 100 g, and the amount of antioxidants increases 5.1 times!)

Beans can be eaten at any age: they will benefit both children and adults, since sprouted mung beans contain many trace elements, acids and vitamins that strengthen the immune system (especially during mass acute respiratory viral infections in the cold season).
Bean sprouts will also help get rid of excess weight, cleanse the body of toxins, and get rid of heaviness in the stomach, giving a feeling of lightness throughout the body.
By the way, mung beans do not contribute to bloating and gas formation, which is a pleasant and unique feature of mung beans...
Since the beans together with the sprouts will be eaten raw, it is advisable to create all the conditions for comfortable sprouting:
First, the beans must be sorted out to remove broken grains and debris.
Fill with water at room temperature, then rinse and drain the rinse water.
Prepare a container for sprouting (it can be any food container).
Asian beans (mung beans) can also be sprouted in a glass jar or on a plate with high sides: to do this, simply pour the mung beans into a container and fill it with water at room temperature (it is better to take spring or filtered water).
Leave the mung beans to sprout overnight.
In the morning, drain the water, rinse in fresh water and you can leave them in the container or pour the beans into a glass container. Cover the neck of the jar with gauze folded in several layers, securing it with a rubber band.
Prepare a plate, pour water into it, turn the jar upside down so that you get an angle of 45 degrees (this is necessary so that the grains are saturated with moisture). The plate with the jar should be placed in a warm and dark place (add water and rinse the mung beans as needed. It is advisable to alternate keeping the beans in a dark place and in the light: 4 hours a day is enough for the beans to be in the light, and the rest of the time - in a dark place).
After 3-5 days (depending on the room temperature), the sprouts of Asian beans will be ready for consumption: when the sprouts reach 1 cm, the mung beans can be eaten, since in this form the beans are considered the most useful.
There is no need to wait until the sprouts grow and turn yellow or brown instead of light, because they will no longer be as tasty and soft.
By the way, mung bean sprouts can be stored in the refrigerator for no more than 2 days, wrapped in a piece of clean gauze. But it is best to eat them immediately. 
* There is another way to germinate beans for those who may have found the previous option difficult:
Take a 0.5 l jar. Fill it 1/3 full with beans, rinse in warm water, remove damaged grains if necessary and get rid of debris. Pour water over the beans and leave for 12 hours. If you want to germinate a lot of mung beans at once, then you need to take 4 cups of water per cup of beans (the beans should float in water).
Within 12 hours, the first sprouts should hatch: you can personally observe how life awakens in the grains: first they are saturated with water, and then they increase in size, generating the first, barely noticeable millimeter sprouts, which become larger and larger!
Do not forget to rinse the beans every 12 hours, changing the water. If you want to interrupt the sprouting process, considering that there are enough sprouts, then place the beans in a large container, having previously washed them under running water. This way, you can easily get rid of the green shell, which will spoil the appearance of the finished dish.
Tip: mung beans can be sprouted in any container: both in a food container and in a deep plate.
Mandatory condition: rinse the beans every 12 hours, changing the water to fresh and provide exposure to light for 4 hours. The rest of the time, the beans can be left on the table, covered with a lid or a damp cloth.

Mung beans have sprouted, but what to do next?
You can eat them fresh, but it is better and tastier to add them to ready-made dishes.
How many sprouts can you eat per day?
Mung bean sprouts are a morning meal, because sprouts saturate you with energy. To begin with, it is enough to eat 1 or 2 tablespoons of sprouts, gradually increasing and bringing to the norm - 4 tablespoons per day. In the afternoon and at night, it is better not to eat sprouts, since they have a stimulating effect.
Are there any contraindications?
Yes, if you have poor intestinal peristalsis or have diseases of the digestive system, then you should refuse to take sprouted beans.
