Mung Bean Vegan Spread
Iva
Hello friends! This recipe has become a recent favorite of mine because I tried mung beans for the first time a couple of months ago. I made it several times before sharing it with you to be sure of the proportions. I recommend you to try it because it is very easy and incredibly tasty. Mung beans cook quickly because the beans are very fine. You don't have to wait for it to cook like regular beans. I recommend you soak it in water overnight for more healthy benefits. This recipe is gluten free, vegan and high in plant protein. You definitely must try it.
