They also provide some protein (often used as a protein source in Filipino meals) and have very low fat (0.2 g) with no cholesterol. The low sodium (8 mg) is helpful for everyday eating. Since they still contain carbohydrates (21.6 g), pairing them with vegetables and a lean\/protein-rich side can help keep meals balanced, especially if you\u2019re having them as a main or snack.","healthier_tips":["For meals: use mung beans as part of a balanced plate\u20141\/2 plate veggies, 1\/4 protein (mung beans or fish\/chicken\/tofu), and 1\/4 rice or other carbs.","For snacks: try a small serving (about 1\/2 cup cooked) with fruit or veggies to add fiber and keep portions comfortable.","Boost nutrients by adding leafy greens, carrots, or squash to soups or stews.","If cooking with coconut milk or lots of oil, go easy\u2014keep the dish lighter so the meal stays heart-friendly.","Watch added sugar if making sweet mung bean desserts; keep it less sweet and portion-controlled."]},"data_quality":{"source":"DOST-FNRI Philippine Food Composition Tables","source_code":"ph_fct","daily_values_reference":"RENI 2002","notes":["Values are estimates per 100g edible portion.","Actual nutrients may vary by preparation and variety."]},"links":{"self":"https:\/\/api.juanutrisyon.info\/api\/foods\/mung-bean-seed-fresh?agent=true"}}}
