Green mung beans are a healthy choice packed with essential vitamins and minerals like folate, phosphorous, iron, potassium, and Vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, and B6. They're incredibly versatile in the kitchen. Simply boil them, add some sugar, and you have a delicious treat. You can also boil them and then sauté with ampalaya leaves or your favorite greens. Philippine Foodtrade Corporation, the mastermind behind Tropics fish crackers, started in 1971 with a vision of offering top - notch Filipino products. Their goal was to bring the real Filipino taste to overseas Filipinos. The Tropics brand, first available in Chicago, now has a presence in Los Angeles and other states.

Using these green mung beans is a breeze. First, rinse them thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or debris. Then, soak them in water for a few hours or overnight. This helps reduce the cooking time. To cook, put the soaked beans in a pot, add water, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and let them simmer until tender. You can add sugar for a sweet snack or sauté them with your favorite leaves for a savory dish. As for storage, keep the beans in a cool, dry place in an airtight container. This will keep them fresh for a long time. Be careful not to overcook the beans, as they can turn mushy. Also, if you're allergic to legumes, consult your doctor before consuming these mung beans.
