Greengram, also known as mung bean (scientific name: Vigna radiata), is a small, green legume widely cultivated in Asia and parts of Africa for its high nutritional value. It is a rich source of protein, dietary fiber, and essential vitamins and minerals like iron, potassium, and magnesium. Greengram is commonly used in various dishes, both savory and sweet, and can be consumed whole, split, or sprouted. Its quick cooking time and easy digestibility make it a popular choice in vegetarian diets. Additionally, greengram improves soil fertility by fixing nitrogen, making it an important crop in sustainable farming.
