The fiber also helps with smoother digestion. They\u2019re naturally low in fat and cholesterol, and they provide some protein to complement your meals. Caution: they still contain carbs, so portion size matters\u2014especially if you\u2019re also eating rice or other starchy foods in the same meal. Sodium is low, which is good for everyday health.","healthier_tips":["For a balanced day (3 meals + 1\u20132 snacks), try these:","Portion: start with about 1\/2 to 3\/4 cup cooked mung beans per meal, especially if you also have rice.","Add protein + veggies: pair with fish\/egg\/chicken or tofu, plus a serving of non-starchy vegetables (like kangkong, pechay, or okra).","Watch add-ons: if you make it sweet (like dessert), go easy on sugar and condensed milk.","Use as a snack: a small bowl can be a good snack when paired with fruit or yogurt (if available) for better balance."]},"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-red-dried-boiled?agent=true"}}}
