Golden Mung
A tier
Golden mung beans are yellow-seeded mung types—mild flavour, attractive colour, used whole or as specialty dals. They cook soft and sweet-leaning like other mungs. Substitute for green mung where colour matters; make soft porridges. Specialty pulse bins and Asian markets stock them. Same quick-cooking habits.
