how much protein in 100 gm moong - #23317
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!
