Mung beans are a staple in Ayurvedic medicine. Their high fibre content improves digestion, prevents constipation, and promotes a healthy gut.
Rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, mung beans have many health benefits. They are anti-inflammatory, help regulate blood pressure, improve blood circulation, and stabilise blood sugar levels. They also enhance immune function and enzyme production, repair muscles, and support bone and joint health.
Mung beans are tri-doshic, meaning they are suitable for all body types and balance all three doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. They are often used in Ayurvedic cleansing diets because they help detoxify the body, flush out toxins, and purify the blood.
This innovative twist on a classic dessert swaps traditional ingredients for nutritious mung beans, providing a protein-packed, fibre-rich alternative that doesn’t compromise flavour. These brownies will become a new favourite in your kitchen and are perfect to satisfy your sweet tooth while maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
