Note to the hostess
- Housewives should remember that mung beans are legumes. Therefore, in some cases, an undesirable reaction to this product may develop in the form of increased gas formation. To minimize such consequences, it is recommended to soak it before cooking. You can also add dill or coriander seeds to the dish when cooking. This simple measure will enrich the taste of the dish and reduce the risk of flatulence.
- Before using cereals for food, they should be thoroughly rinsed in cold water. This is due to the fact that there may be small pebbles in it.
- If the mung bean is boiled for salad, it should be salted at the end of cooking. In this case, its taste will be many times better, and it will retain its beneficial properties. If you add salt at the beginning, there is a risk that the beans will become hard.

Irina
03/06/2014 I prepared everything as written - the mung beans were boiled (((
Olka
03/06/2014 I made a salad today. True, with children in mind, I didn’t put vinegar in the dressing (I squeezed out a little lime juice instead), and I was also greedy about buying fresh thyme - I put in dry thyme. But I still really liked the salad. And the children liked it (my daughter is three, my son is one and a half years old). But my husband picked out everything except the mung bean, and left it on the plate. And he said: “Little wife, the salad is delicious, but these lentils are not very good for me”))))
Svetlana, Amsterdam
03/06/2014 Nastenka, how great it is that there are so many recipes with thyme, this fragrant medicinal plant and at the same time a spice. For example, we can’t imagine chicken without thyme. We only bake with it. This is how we got used to it, thanks to your recipes. Thank you once again!

03/08/2014 The spring holiday is knocking on the door Men are thinking about lovely ladies. Their smile makes you want to hurt yourself, For them alone, to become a conqueror of peaks. I wish the zealous housewives a warmer hearth, And the young beauties - a groom. To all mothers, be more tolerant and gentle. I can barely remember every role of a woman. Beautiful love! Dawns in the night! Successful, happy fate!

03/08/2014 Today I made this salad for the arrival of guests, although, to be honest, I didn’t know before what kind of animal mung bean was. Very tasty and light salad!
Natalia
03/09/2014 Thank you, I love mung beans, I’ll have to try it! Mung bean (any brand from the supermarket) germinates easily - in about a day in water it becomes soft and tasty and begins to sprout. Some people consider this kind of food very healthy, but I just like the taste of sprouted mung bean more than boiled mung bean (as well as chickpeas) - it turns out “juicier” and more “nutty-herbal” - the taste is brighter. Accordingly, I am going to make this salad with sprouted mung bean. I recommend that lovers of “light” food try it too, especially in the summer :). It is convenient to germinate in a large flat plate with a little water poured on the bottom and covered with a paper towel on top; In the morning and evening, the water is drained and replaced with a new one, and the paper towel is also thrown out and replaced with a new one, so that the system does not have time to go rotten.

03/10/2014 Well, what can I say. Very tasty salad. My whole family liked it.
ainura M
03/13/2014 class! I never thought that mung bean would make such a great salad.
Tatiana
03/14/2014 My husband and I have a daily salad =) Mung bean with beets is also delicious!
Olga
03/17/2014 I honestly expected something more from the salad. Mung bean feels like something separate in the salad. BUT this is probably the only recipe from the site that did not suit us.
Sonya
03/19/2014 I made it with lentils because I couldn’t find lentils.. Tasty, I liked it. Thank you, Nastya, for the interesting recipes.
Hope
03/24/2014 Very tasty, especially the dressing! Great option and idea to use mung beans.
Tamara
03/25/2014 the site is wonderful, everything is great and beautiful, your mouth is watering and you want to eat. THANK YOU.
Victoria
03/27/2014 The salad is awesome) I actually used corn and arugula instead of thyme. But I’m delighted, mung bean is very tasty!
Harm and contraindications
Mung bean dishes are contraindicated for certain groups of people:
- Those with individual intolerance (consult a doctor before use).
- Suffering from intestinal motility disorders.
- Suffering from gastritis and ulcers. There is too much fiber in mung bean. If the body suffers from these diseases, it will be very difficult for it to digest the product, flatulence may occur and painful sensations may appear. For the same reason, the product is not recommended for use by young children (the permitted age is to be confirmed with a pediatrician).
