Beans, mung, dahl, dried, boiled in unsalted water

Mung dahl is made from split mung beans with the seed coat removed. The values here are for dried beans that have been soaked and boiled in unsalted water. They mainly provide carbohydrate and protein, with 15g of carbohydrate and 7.8g of protein per 100g. This cooked form also contains 0.4g of fat and 0.01g of salt.

Carbohydrate provides energy, while protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. Mung dahl also provides folate, which is needed for normal blood cell formation. The salt content shown relates to cooking without added salt; salt, stock or sauces added during preparation can increase this. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
