2. Green beans help with alcohol detoxification
Tet is a time for New Year gatherings, with many feasts where a few glasses of wine or beer are inevitable. Most Vietnamese people still find it difficult to abstain from drinking.
The mung bean skin has excellent detoxifying properties. Remember to use whole mung beans when preparing. Simmer the beans until soft or cook and strain the water for the intoxicated person to drink. You can add a bit of sugar or salt to enhance the flavor.
Mung beans are excellent for hangovers. For those experiencing low blood sugar after drinking, adding sugar to the mung beans can make them more effective.

Mung beans are rich in fiber, the indigestible part of plant-based foods. This nutrient is key to maintaining a healthy digestive system.
During Tet, Vietnamese households enjoy many delicious meals, making indigestion from overeating almost unavoidable.
Whole mung beans have properties that detoxify the liver, cool the body, and aid digestion, making them ideal for use during Tet.
When using mung beans for detoxification, it’s best to simmer them thoroughly, add a bit of salt, and consume both the beans and the broth, avoiding sugar.
You can also prevent internal heat and bloating after Tet by proactively simmering whole mung beans and consuming them even before symptoms arise.
Especially for elderly individuals with high blood sugar, drinking whole mung bean water is highly beneficial.
