I love my salads. I always make sure to eat my salad first, before a meal or as a snack and fill up my tummy. That ways I don’t have to eat junk or a heavy meal. I am one of those persons wherein I eat less and get a big tummy. damn!
So salad is the answer for a “not so big tummy”. Not sure if this trick works for everyone though!
FUNFACT – In Hong Kong, china and Taiwan, this mung bean is made a paste and used as a ice cream, frozen ice pop and Chinese mooncakes.
HEALTH BENEFITS – Foe all the vegans, vegetarians and plant based eaters, this mung bean is a protein superhero, lowers blood pressure, combats inflammation, manages type 2 diabetes, combats obesity, lowers bad blood cholesterol.

Notes
* You could choose not to sprout and use it right away after the soaking procedure.
* Instead of soaking mung beans overnight, you could soak it for about 2-3 hours with hot water in a airtight container and it does the same trick.
