Mungbean-Wheat Noodles: Healthier, Tastier, and More Satisfying Than Ever!
Researchers prepared noodle flour with different amounts of mungbean to improve nutrition and cooking quality. They found that increasing mungbean content made the flour absorb less water and have a higher initial pasting temperature. Noodles with more mungbean were harder, stickier, and chewier. Noodles with 20% and 40% mungbean were clearer after cooking and were preferred in quality and taste tests compared to noodles made with only wheat flour.
