On my gluten-free, dairy-free adventures I discovered the mung bean. I found them at my local Asian Mart. Boiled, baked, steamed, or sprouted, they are delicious savory or as a dessert. The mung bean, native to India, but cultivated in the U.S. since 1830, is a power house. It's high in protein, magnesium, iron, etc. It protects against several chronic, age-related diseases including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, and obesity. Pictured above is my mung bean pie, a Vietnamese dish, with the following ingredients: mung beans, coconut milk (brain food), coconut oil (brain food), eggs (brain food), vanilla extract, tapioca flour, rice flour, etc. With Love--from my family table to yours!
