Our talented chefs, Lee and Darleen Gross, have created a unique, summer favorite: Mung Bean Fettuccine with Kale Pesto. These perfectly "al dente" noodles are made from high-protein, low carbohydrate, green mung beans, dressed with a pesto of fresh summer basil and nutrient-dense kale and topped with Organic Pharmer's house-made almond-flaxseed Pharmesan and fresh arugula leaves.
Mung bean is a nutritional powerhouse rich in vitamins A, B, C and E as well as important minerals such as calcium, iron, magnesium and potassium. Also, mung beans may lower cholesterol, support liver function, slow the skin’s aging process and strengthen hair and nails. For something so small, mung beans pack a mighty and healthy punch.
