Eastern Asian cuisine stands out for its unique flavors. It’s also known for health benefits, deeply rooted in holistic folk medicine. A central belief in this tradition is “food and medicine share the same root.” This philosophy shines through in the humble mung bean. Its sprouted form personifies this concept beautifully.
Ancient Wisdom Meets Modern Science
Traditionally, in Eastern Asian diets, foods like mung bean sprouts have always been valued for their health benefits. Interestingly, this practice finds mention in the ancient text, “Emperor’s Inner Canon.” Fast forward to today, and we see this concept of a balanced diet gaining recognition from modern food science. Remarkably, a study from Harvard University’s School of Public Health underscores the benefits of plant-based proteins. Specifically, it links these proteins to a reduction in mortality rates when compared with meat and eggs.
