Beans, mung, dahl, dried, raw

Mung dahl consists of split mung beans with the seed coats removed. The figures here describe the dried, raw beans before cooking. They mainly provide carbohydrate and protein, with little fat. Per 100g, they contain 46g of carbohydrate, 27g of protein and 1.1g of fat, with an energy content of 1237 kJ.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues, while carbohydrate provides energy. Mung dahl also supplies minerals, including iron and magnesium. Its salt and saturated fat contents are low in the raw, dried form, although ingredients added during preparation can change these amounts. Cooking increases the water content, so values per cooked weight will differ. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
