Fun facts about masha
Mash is a leguminous crop originating from India. It is eaten whole (with green husks) or peeled (then the color of mung bean is light, as in our picture). Very common in China.
People often ask whether it is necessary to soak mash. Mash should not be soaked. Although the cereal belongs to the beans, it is very tender and after half an hour of cooking it begins to boil soft. Even if you need porridge, it is enough to cook cereals without soaking, just increase the cooking time to 40 minutes.
When cooking, mung bean increases by 2 times.
