Description:<\/b>
\nMung beans are also known as green gram beans and have been cultivated for over 1,000 years. The seedlings of mung beans (mung sprouts) are another well-known foodstuff. Our organic Fairtrade mung beans are untreated and germinate very easily. Our mung beans are a warm green colour, with occasional yellowish-green nuances. The beans are oval in shape and range from 2 to 5 x 3 to 4 mm in size (pea sized).<\/p>\n
Mung beans are just what you need for a healthy diet, providing your body with all the good things described above.
\nThe beans are full of flavour, yet mild in taste. There is only a minimal proportion of broken pieces in our mung beans and they are very pure, having been cleaned carefully several times.<\/p>\n
Origin and Production:<\/b>
\nWe source our organic Fairtrade mung beans exclusively from Uzbekistan \/ Samarkand. We can be sure of meeting our high quality standards by purchasing our products exclusively from this place.<\/p>\n
They ripen in the gardens and fields of Fairtrade farmers in the beautiful regions around Samarkand. Large parts of the region are certified for organic and FAIRTRADE products, and are cultivated by the FAIRTRADE farmers living there. The farmers are part of a large Fairtrade community made up of 3 groups,\u00a0Dustkul Bogi, Turkiston Gulba and Turob Bobo.\u00a0<\/u>1,000 farmers and their families belong to the community.
\nBy working with Fairtrade, the farmers can provide their families with a secure income and offer their children new opportunities.<\/p>\n
