Mung Bean Starch
Mung Bean Starch is a fine, translucent starch extracted from mung beans and commonly used in Asian cuisines for glass noodles, puddings and as a thickener in soups and sauces. It is a highly refined ingredient that provides mainly digestible carbohydrate and is energy-dense at 350kcal per 100 g. Because it is a purified starch, it contributes very little fiber, protein or minerals compared with whole legumes, so it functions well as a textural ingredient but is not a meaningful source of satiety or micronutrients.
