The Chinese have been growing mung bean sprouts (nga choy or nga choi) for approximately 3,000 years. Farmers grow them often with little machinery.  Today China and India are the main producers of mung beans. The mung is also popular in the Philippines where they call it Munggo. The mung beans have a delightful fresh raw flavor with a delicate hint of sweetness... we'll get back to that later further the form. According to modern nutrition, mung beans offer 14 gms of protein per cooked cup. Mung beans are also a good source of dietary fiber.
