Brief Introduction:

Mung bean starch is a powder made by soaking mung beans in water, grinding them and then precipitating them, it is white and shiny. It has sufficient viscosity and low water absorption. The production process of mung bean starch includes soaking, grinding and filtering.

Nutritional Value of Mung Bean Starch:

As we all know, the nutritional value of mung bean starch is very high and its uses are also very wide. For example, mung bean starch has antibacterial and antimicrobial effects, lipid-lowering effects, anti-tumor effects, detoxification effects, etc.

Mung bean starch contains a considerable amount of oligosaccharides (pentosan, galactosan, etc.), which are difficult to digest and absorb because the human gastrointestinal tract does not have a corresponding hydrolase system. Therefore, the energy value provided by mung bean starch is lower than that of other grains, and it has an auxiliary therapeutic effect for obese people and diabetic patients.

Moreover, oligosaccharides are the proliferation factors of Bifidobacteria(the beneficial bacteria in the human intestine). Therefore, regular consumption of mung bean starch can improve intestinal flora, reduce the absorption of harmful substances, and prevent certain cancers.

The Main Uses of Mung Bean Starch:

‌1) Making Jelly:

Mung bean starch has excellent gelling properties and is the best raw material for making jelly. Mix mung bean starch and water in a ratio of 1:6, stir evenly, heat until gelatinized, and cool to form a smooth and delicious jelly. ‌

2‌) Thickening in Cooking:

Mung bean starch is often used for thickening in cooking because of its high viscosity and low water absorption, it can make the soup thicker and improve the taste and appearance of the dish. ‌Mung bean starch is also suitable for making some tender dishes such as stir-fried pork and beef.

3) Making Other Foods:

Mung bean starch can also be used to make Liangpi(cold noodles), Sheet Jelly, Longkou Vermicelli and other foods. After heating, the mung bean starch will form a gel after cooling, which is suitable for cold or hot stir-fried dishes.

Comparison of the Features of Several Common Starches:

Mung Bean Starch	High viscosity, low water absorption, white and shiny.
Potato Starch	High viscosity, fine texture, white color, better luster than mung bean starch, but poor water absorption.
Wheat Starch	White color, but poor luster, inferior quality to potato starch, easy to precipitate after thickening.
