About mung beans
Mung beans are grown across Asia, Australia and East Africa. They are cooked whole or split, ground into flour, and sprouted for bean sprouts.
Sprouting grades need high germination and very low damage. Cooking grades are sorted by size and colour.
Frequently asked questions
What makes a sprouting grade?
High germination, low broken and damaged beans, and clean microbiology. Sprouting grades are tested before shipment.
Do you supply organic lots?
Yes, from producers certified to EU organic and USDA NOP standards. EU imports travel with an electronic certificate of inspection issued through TRACES.
Can I get a sample before buying?
Pre-shipment samples can usually be arranged for approval before the contract or before shipment, with the cost agreed in advance.
