What is organic mung bean protein powder?
Organic Mung Bean Protein Powder is meticulously produced from 100% pure, organically grown mung beans (Vigna radiata). The process typically involves a gentle wet-milling and separation technique that isolates the protein from the starch and fiber components, followed by careful drying and milling into a fine, free-flowing powder. This approach ensures the preservation of mung bean protein’s high protein content, neutral flavor, and excellent functional properties. The organic certification guarantees that the raw materials are cultivated and processed without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or genetically modified organisms, aligning with strict clean-label and natural ingredient standards.
Mung bean protein is gaining significant attention in the plant-based industry due to its impressive nutritional profile and growing appeal as a novel, hypoallergenic protein source. It is considered a near-complete protein, containing a broad spectrum of amino acids, and is highly digestible. Unlike common protein sources like soy or gluten, mung bean protein is naturally free from major allergens, offering a safe and inclusive option for consumers with diverse dietary sensitivities. With its mild taste, good solubility, and emulsifying properties, our Organic Mung Bean Protein Powder is the perfect choice for manufacturers looking to develop cutting-edge, nutritious, and allergen-friendly plant-based products.

FAQs
Q: What is the typical protein content of your Organic Mung Bean Protein Powder?
A: Our Organic Mung Bean Protein Powder is typically available with 80% protein content on a dry basis, though customizable options may be available to meet specific formulation requirements.
Q: Is Organic Mung Bean Protein a complete protein?
A: Mung bean protein is generally considered a near-complete protein with a strong amino acid profile. While it’s particularly rich in lysine and other essential amino acids, it may be slightly lower in methionine compared to some other protein sources. However, its high digestibility and overall balance make it an excellent protein source.
Q: What’s the typical shelf life and recommended storage for bulk quantities?
A: Our Organic Mung Bean Protein Powder typically has a shelf life of 24 months from the manufacturing date when stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, in its original sealed, airtight packaging.

A: Yes, absolutely. Organic Mung Bean Protein Powder is naturally free from common allergens such as gluten, dairy, soy, and nuts, making it an excellent hypoallergenic protein source for broad consumer appeal and for formulating “free-from” products.
Q: How does Organic Mung Bean Protein Powder compare in taste to other plant proteins like pea or rice?
A: Our Organic Mung Bean Protein Powder is processed to have a very mild and neutral taste, generally considered less “beany” than some pea proteins and without the slight grittiness or distinct taste sometimes associated with rice protein. This makes it highly versatile and less likely to impact the flavor profile of your finished products.
