Mung beans are small, green legumes that are related to peas and lentils. You may be more familiar with bean sprouts, which are usually sprouted mung beans! These beans are popular in India, but are also enjoyed in North America and other countries. They’re a good source of potassium, folate, copper, magnesium and B vitamins. The beans and sprouts can be eaten cooked or raw.

Can my dog eat mung beans? Yes! He can enjoy these beans cooked, raw or even as sprouts! Can my puppy eat mung beans? Yes, but in small amounts. You can add cooked or raw beans to your pup’s regular dog food, or use the sprouts instead. Be aware that the beans may cause your dog to have excess gas. What if my dog ate a large amount of mung beans or sprouts? If your dog has too many beans or sprouts, he could develop tummy trouble, including diarrhea. So be sure to serve these in small amounts once in a while to avoid these issues.
