Soak it for a few days and it becomes crisp, fresh sprouts. Simmer it and it turns into soft, creamy dal. Plant it in warm soil, and it grows into a heat-tolerant, nitrogen-fixing legume that improves the ground it grows in. Green Mung Bean, known across South Asia as moong, is one of the oldest and most useful pulses in the world, and it works as a pantry staple, a sprouting seed, and a garden crop all at once.

Plants are compact and bushy, typically 1 to 3 feet tall, with trifoliate leaves, small yellow flowers, and slender pods that turn dark as they ripen. The seeds are eaten whole, split into dal, ground into flour, or sprouted, and they cook faster than most dry beans. Mung beans thrive in heat, tolerate dry spells, and, like all legumes, fix nitrogen in the soil, which makes them a useful summer crop in rotation. Grown as a warm-season annual, killed by frost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn the Garden \u0026amp; Kitchen\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSprouting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Soak and sprout the seeds for fresh, crisp bean sprouts in a few days.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMoong dal and curries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cook whole or split beans into dal, curries, and stews.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoups and porridges:\u003c\/strong\u003e Simmer into soft, comforting soups and savory or sweet porridges.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSalads and grain bowls:\u003c\/strong\u003e Add cooked mung beans to salads and bowls for texture.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNitrogen-fixing crop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rotate with heavy feeders to leave nitrogen in the soil.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSummer cover crop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grow a quick, heat-loving green manure on resting beds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing Green Mung Bean Seeds\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStart method:\u003c\/strong\u003e Direct sow outdoors after last frost, once soil is warm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGermination:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sprouts in 3 to 7 days in warm soil.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Germinates best at 70°F or warmer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSowing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plant seeds about 1 inch deep.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Space seeds 4 to 6 inches apart in rows 24 to 30 inches apart.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunlight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-drained, average soil; avoid waterlogged ground and heavy nitrogen fertilizer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWatering:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate water; drought tolerant once established.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDays to maturity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Typically ready for dry beans in roughly 90 to 120 days from seeding.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pick pods as they turn dark and dry; plants ripen over several weeks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrying:\u003c\/strong\u003e Finish drying and shell the beans before storing in an airtight container.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSprout safety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rinse sprouts often, keep equipment clean, and cook sprouts for young children, older adults, or anyone pregnant or immunocompromised.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBefore You Close This Page\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a seed that does three jobs, sprouts on the counter, dal in the pot, and a heat-tolerant, nitrogen-fixing crop in the garden.
