Jade-AU is a large seeded bright green mung bean variety that can be stir-fried with garlic, ginger, spring onions, or pieces of salted dried fish to add flavor. Uncooked bean sprouts are also used in filling for Vietnamese spring rolls. Did you know that mung beans may help lower blood pressure? Yep, they’re indeed a good source of potassium, magnesium and fiber. Studies have in fact linked each of these nutrients to a significantly lower risk of high blood pressure, which in turn is a serious health problem because it puts you at risk of heart disease. Moreover, an analysis of eight studies showed that higher intakes of legumes, such as beans, lowered blood pressure in both adults with and without high blood pressure.
