Before cooking, mung beans need to be prepared properly. First, soak them in cold water for 8-9 hours, which will soften them and shorten the cooking time. Alternatively, you can pour boiling water over them and leave for 3-4 hours. After soaking, drain the water and place the beans in a pot of salted boiling water.

Cook mung beans for about 30-45 minutes, until soft and easy to eat. Cooked beans can be used as an addition to salads, soups or main dishes, enriching them with vegetable protein and fiber.
