Mung beans are high in soluble fiber cleaning the intestine walls thoroughly. The soluble fiber in mung bean mixes with fluid in the digestive tract forming a gel-like substance, which in turn works as a cleaning agent ridding the intestines of all that built up gunk accumulated over time. This prepares the intestines to better absorb nutrients from the foods you eat eliminating those nagging cravings causing you to overeat because your body is was unable to be satisfied. Once you cleanse with mung beans you will benefit from proper absorption of nutrients and no longer being plagued by cravings. To get started on this amazing cleanse you will want to buy mung beans. Follow along as I explain how and where to get the best mung beans and make this amazing mung bean weight loss and detox soup.

Mung beans are the perfect food to keep you feeling full all the while cleaning your intestines and super charging weight loss. Eat this soup for a 3 day fast and cleanse your body
Buying Mung Beans
It's best to buy organic mung beans and buy them in bulk to save money.
Regardless of where you buy mung beans you will save money on this detox as mung beans, like most beans, are very affordable and go a long way. This soup is so delicious you won't let these beans go to waste. In fact if you are going to be feeding other family members you might want to consider buying an even larger quantity. I bought enough for myself the first time I made this soup and my daughters loved the soup too.
Green Mung Beans
Green mung beans look a lot like tiny black eyed peas only smaller and green.

I ran out much quicker than I expected. I found myself running out to buy more and now keep a large air tight container filled with mung beans as they are a great addition to many dishes. We love mung beans.
You want to buy organic green mung beans as organic is always the best choice. You can find them in the bulk section of your grocery store. I buy them at my local organic market. Most grocery stores carry them in the section where you find those large bins side by side with the pull down handles releasing the product into bags you but at the bottom opening. This is where you find the bulk value. Plus you will want a large quantity on hand.

Three Day Mung Bean Fast
Simply put, eat this delicious and filling soup provides you with mega nutrients and is super filling.
On the three day fast you simply eat as much of your mung bean soup as you want. Drink lots of water and green tea to help with the cleansing process and to keep you hydrated. Eat a bowl of soup with fresh squeezed lemon on top as much as you want and be prepared to be amazed, I mean really amazed. Be certain to have plenty of mung beans on hand as you really can eat it all day long everyday for three days and loss weight. You may find yourself eating a lot more soup than you imagined you could. This is fine, eat all you want.
Double the Recipe
This soup is so good you can easily double the recipe by adding twice the simple ingredients.
I started with this recipe but quickly moved on to doubling it as I go through it in a short time. I enjoy eating mung bean soup as I'm a busy working Mom who often doesn't like to take a lot of time preparing food. I store the soup in the fridge after I make a batch in the morning. I take out a cup sized portion and micro wave it, add a fresh squeeze of lemon (sometimes red hot sauce) and enjoy. I've even been known to eat this for breakfast.
Do Mung Beans Cause Gas
Because mung beans are easily digested and easy on the stomach they are far less likely to cause gas than any other bean.
Soaking beans over night releases the gas causing agents. You may notice a bit of foaming in the water, this is the gas causing agents being released. The spices added to this mung bean soup makes it even more digestible therefore causing no gas. Some people are more pron to gas than others this should lessen once you clean your intestine of all the gas causing irritants lining your intestine and bowel. Let's face it some of us have more built up gunk on our intestines than others.
Where to Buy Hing
Hing is the hardest ingredient for most people to find, if you don't have an Indian grocery near you buy it here.

Your answer in the last comment box down, on Jul 5, 2012, in answer to VictoriaLynn's previous, previous-day observation and question Jul 4, 2012, intrigues me.
You mention your being a vegetarian. What -- if anything ;-D -- would make you be a vegan?
I would love to read an article about how you do that. I want to grow my own mung beans...
Thanks. I find mung beans easy to grow.
frankbeswick, I bet so perhaps even better.
If I sprout mung beans, will taking them have the same effect as eating the beans?

Thanks katiem2 I'll do a Google search now, I just showered and got ready to go out to the market. I'm sure we have them as I do live near a big city. Just as you suspected I'm not a health food store shopper but will learn to become one per your suggestion. Thanks for the tips.
