Mung beans are one of the most underrated superfoods, in my opinion! I bought them dry and then sprouted them - and 24 hours later this salad came to be! Mung beans have 3g of protein and 2g of fiber for 1 cup, which is only 31 calories!!! They are known for their detoxifying properties, associated with heart health, eye health, and weight control!
