sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
Soaking dried mung beans overnight with baking soda and discarding water significantly reduces surface carbohydrate concentration. Sprouting them before cooking naturally breaks down resistant starches and increases enzyme availability. Rinsing canned varieties thoroughly removes excess sodium that compounds water retention and bloating. Introducing them gradually alongside gentle digestive herbs supports smoother nutrient absorption.
