　　Mung beans have multiple uses including as food, vegetables, green manure, and medicine. They are a traditional legume food for the Chinese people. The protein content of mung beans is nearly three times that of polished rice, and they contain more vitamins, calcium, phosphorus, iron, and other inorganic salts than polished rice. Therefore, they not only have excellent edible value but also very good medicinal value, earning the reputation of being the "grain that benefits the world." In the hot summer, mung bean soup is also the most popular refreshing drink among the public.

　　Benefits: Mung beans have a sweet and cool nature, and possess heat-clearing and detoxifying properties. People working in high-temperature environments during summer tend to sweat a lot, lose significant amounts of body fluids, and disrupt their internal electrolyte balance. Boiling mung beans into a soup is the ideal way to replenish these losses. It can clear summer heat, boost energy, quench thirst, and promote urination. Not only does it replenish fluids, but it also timely restores inorganic salts, playing an important role in maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance. Mung bean porridge offers similar benefits. Mung beans also have detoxifying effects. In cases of organophosphorus pesticide poisoning, lead poisoning, alcohol poisoning (hangover), or accidental ingestion of wrong medication, drinking a bowl of mung bean soup can serve as emergency treatment before hospital care. People who frequently work in or are exposed to toxic environments should regularly consume mung beans for detoxification and health maintenance. Regular consumption of mung beans can also supplement nutrition and enhance physical strength.
