Mung beans: nutrition per 100 g and example portion
Reference preparation: boiled mung beans with salt. The exact source name is “Bean, mung bean, boiled, with salt” (Fineli food 31213). Available carbohydrate excludes fiber and is not the same measure as US Total Carbohydrate.
Values are rounded after scaling. A small reported amount may round below 0.1 g; a missing value is marked Not available rather than treated as zero. This selected extract does not include sugar, sodium or micronutrient amounts; the full Fineli database contains information beyond these tables.

How to weigh mung beans
This entry describes mature cooked mung beans, not mung-bean sprouts. Sprouts contain much more water and are a different food. The reference includes salt in preparation; sodium is not part of the nutrient extract shown here.
Calculate your own mung beans portion
For the 150 g example, multiply the source amounts by 150 ÷ 100 = 1.5. The unrounded energy calculation is 105.3 × 1.5 = 157.95 kcal, displayed as approximately 158 kcal. Use the same factor for protein, available carbohydrate, fat and fiber.
For another amount, replace 150 with your own edible weight. Keep the preparation as boiled mung beans with salt; if your food is prepared differently, choose a matching reference or calculate its recipe instead.
How preparation changes the estimate
Whole mung beans and split peeled mung dal can cook to different textures. Use the package label when making a recipe from a specific dry product. Sweet mung-bean desserts also contain ingredients beyond the plain cooked beans.
