Use dry weight with a dry record.
Sprouted
Mung bean sprouts are a different food state.
Dal or curry
Log oil, coconut milk and other recipe ingredients.

QUALITY & SAFETY
How to choose, store and prepare it
Store
Keep dry mung beans sealed in a cool, dry place.
After opening or cooking
Keep cooked beans covered and chilled when not being served.
Prepare
Raw sprouts require their own current handling guidance and are not this record.
Safety boundary
The nutrient record does not establish storage duration; follow current local guidance for cooked legumes.
PHOTO LOGGING
How to log cooked mung beans more accurately
A food photo can suggest the ingredient, but it cannot always reveal exact weight, hidden oil or preparation details. These checks turn an image guess into a better estimate.
