Tips:
Green gram beans are also known as mung beans. High in iron and packed with protein, mung beans are also a rich source of thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, potassium, phosphorus and an excellent source of fiber and complex carbohydrates. As eating beans can cause flatulence for some people, it is best not to cook the beans in the same water that was used for soaking.
