They also provide carbohydrates with some sugar (2.2 g) and protein as part of a balanced meal. The small amount of fat (0.3 g) and sodium (2 mg) makes them a lighter option compared with many processed foods. Since they\u2019re still a starchy legume, pairing them with vegetables and using proper portions helps keep meals balanced.","healthier_tips":["For a balanced plate: add mung beans with non-starchy vegetables (e.g., pechay, kangkong, sayote) and a lean protein or egg if needed.","Portion guide: use about 1\/2 to 1 cup cooked mung beans per meal, especially if you also eat rice.","If you\u2019re having them as a snack, pair with fruit or yogurt (instead of sugary toppings) to keep it more balanced.","Watch added sugar if making sweet versions; flavor with cinnamon, vanilla, or a small amount of sweetener instead."]},"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-yellow-dried-boiled?agent=true"}}}
