Mash
Mash, or mung dal, are small round grains that have soft, sweet golden–yellow seeds hidden under a thick dark green or brown skin with a dark spot. Mash is sold whole, peeled or chopped.
Mash beans are often called a type of bean; this is incorrect: mash is a completely independent legume plant. In India, this is one of the most common products, from which a whole series of dishes are made under the general name "dal".
In China, sweet soup and flour are made from masha, and "cellophane" noodles are made from flour. What is sold in our supermarkets as "soy sprouts" is actually sprouted mash. Unlike soy sprouts, it is possible – and necessary! – eat raw. Tender sprouts are good to add to dishes of stewed or quickly fried vegetables – but only at the last minute, along with herbs.
