Green Mung Beans

Mung/Moong bean is known locally as “Masho”. It is a recent introduction in the Ethiopian pulse production and grown in few areas of the country.

Mung beans are small, ovoid (and sometimes cylindrical) in shape with a bright green skin. They have green skin hence they are also called green beans.

Mung bean is a warm season annual legume which is a drought resistant crop with an optimum temperature range of 27- 30°C for good production.

It is very early maturing quick crop, requiring 75–90 days to mature.
