message: What is this bean called in Hindi language?--Jondel 01:57, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I was wondering this myself. The Oxford English Dictionary discusses the confusing fact that Vigna mungo refers not to the mung but to the urd, but doesn't explain it very well. The main problem is that it phrases its explanations iin terms of English vs. Scientific names, without bringing up Hindi (or other Asian languages). It sums it up with a quotation: " 1908 G. WATT Commercial Products India 881 There has been some confusion regarding the nomenclature..due chiefly to Roxburgh having transposed the original Linnean names. P[haseolus] mungo, Linn., is the present plant udid or urd; while P. radiatus, Linn., is the plant known in the vernacular as mung." Does this mean that English usage agrees with Hindi ("vernacular") usage? Or does it mean that Roxburgh screwed it up and reveresed the vernacular names? I don't know. --Iustinus 17:09, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The Wikipedia articles agree with the OED:  that urad dal (the black one) is V. mungo and the mung bean (the green one) is V. radiatus.  Thus, the English name "mung" (the green one) agrees with the Hindi name mung dal (also referring to the green one) and not with the species name mungo, which refers to a different bean (the urad, the black one).

message: In NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION, isn't fiber supposed to be a sub set of total carbohydrates?  For example, if there are 2 grams of sugar and 2 grams of fiber and 10 grams of total carbohydrates, can we not calculate that the rest (in this case, 6g) is a complex carbohydrate?
In this nutritional information box, there are over 7 grams of fibre but the total carbs is less than 4 grams. How is that possible?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.236.68.173 (talk) 21:41, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

message: I suggest rewriting the introduction of this article so that the first line of the introduction gives a definition of 'mung bean' and not give excessive synonyms for the term 'mung bean'.

message: Regarding the following section: "Then pancakes are made on a very hot griddle. These are usually eaten for breakfast. This provides high quality protein in a raw form that is rare in most Indian regional cuisines."
The protein is not in "raw" form if it is cooked on a "very hot griddle".  I don't know what you were trying to say, but I'd suggest rephrasing that to be non-oxymoronical.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wykypedya (talk • contribs) 01:35, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

message: The sprouts on the photo are straight and fat. I bet the author of the photo did not grow them himself/herself, but got them from a shop. That is because naturally grown mung bean sprouts are thin and curly, while those commercially available are treated with ethylene to grow bigger in size. I learned that from Steve Meyerovitz - The Sproutman.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Harduser (talk • contribs) 19:51, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
