how much protein in 100 gm moong - #23317

Sara

I am feeling a bit confused about something I read regarding how much protein in 100 gm moong. Last week, I tried incorporating moong beans into my meals after hearing they're super healthy, especially for vegetarians like me. I thought, okay, healthy snacks! But then, I looked it up and got lost in all the numbers. Some sources say there’s, like, 24 grams of protein in 100 gm moong, while others are all over the place, saying it’s only 7 grams or less, which makes me doubt what to believe! I even cooked some green moong dal, enjoyed it, but then the next day, I was wondering, was that enough in terms of protein? I’m trying to hit my protein goals daily for my workouts, but if I’m relying on moong beans for that and it turns out to be way less protein than I thought, I might need to rethink things. I really want to get my health on point, plus I’m always looking for ways to diversify my protein sources. Can anyone help with a solid answer? Like, how much protein in 100 gm moong should I expect to get? Any details on cooking methods or if the protein content changes after cooking would also be super helpful!

Doctors' responses

100 grams of raw moong beans typically contain around 24 grams of protein. That’s a pretty substantial amount for a plant-based source, making it quite attractive if you’re meeting specific dietary protein goals, especially in vegetarian or vegan diets. However, it’s important to remember that cooking can affect the protein content just a bit. When moong beans are cooked, their weight increases as they absorb water. So, the protein concentration per 100 grams of cooked beans will naturally be lower compared to their dry weight; roughly around 7-9 grams per 100 grams cooked, depending slightly on how much water they take on. This might explain the varying numbers you’ve come across. For those planning meals around good protein sources, it’s useful to account for these differences when tracking your intake. If you’re aiming for higher protein levels, consider incorporating other plant-based proteins like lentils, chickpeas, or tofu to your diet alongside moong beans. These variations can ensure a more balanced intake, plus give you some variety at the kitchen table. Keeping track of the portions you consume can ensure you meet your workout-related goals. If you notice any inadequacies in your diet, sometimes a consultation with a registered dietitian can offer more personalized guidance based on your lifestyle, workout routines and dietary preferences.
