Gren Mung Beans

Thank you for carrying these! I love whole mung - in soups, stews, salads, even as hummus, but until now have always had a hard time finding them. Once again, Banyan to the rescue. xo

Is the 1/2 cup serving size dry? The yellow mung beans are 1/4 cup. It seems I would need twice the serving to get almost the same amount of protein.

Rachel Euell

Thank you for your question, Stephanie and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. The 1/2 cup serving size is referring to dry uncooked material.

Is the nutrition info on the label per 1/2 cup or 1/4 cup serving size? It says a serving is 1/2 cup, but the info seems more in line with a 1/4 cup serving.

Rachel Euell

The Nutrition Facts for our Green Mung Beans pertain to the serving size of 1/2 cup.
