Goed om te weten
Dit voedingsmiddel kan verslikkingsgevaar opleveren voor baby's. Bereid het in een grootte en textuur die bij de leeftijd past, en houd je baby tijdens het eten altijd in de gaten.
Always ensure mung beans are cooked until soft enough to squish between your fingers to prevent choking. Thorough cooking also helps reduce the gas that can sometimes occur with legumes.
