Ayurvedic expert Nadya Andreeva told Well + Good “mung beans are one of the most cherished foods.”
“They’re considered tri-doshic, which means that they work well for all body types when cooked with correct spices,” Andreeva said. “As with other beans, Ayurveda recommends soaking mung beans overnight and cooking them with spices such as ginger, cumin, coriander, and turmeric, which renders them even more digestible.”
So keep a lookout for the gas-free bean — it’s taking over the world.
