Higher temperature in summer can shorten the soaking time, while lower temperature in winter can prolong the soaking time. If you want to cook soup or sugar water, it is recommended to soak it for a long time, which can make mung beans more cooked and taste better. If mung beans are used as other foods, such as mung bean cakes, the soaking time can be shorter, and the taste and nutrition of mung beans can be preserved.
The soaking time can also be determined according to personal taste. If you like soft and rotten mung beans, you can extend the soaking time appropriately. If you like crispy mung beans, you can shorten the soaking time appropriately.
It should be noted that soaking in water for too long will easily lead to mildew and deterioration of mung beans, which should not exceed 12 hour. In addition, in the process of soaking water, water can be changed many times to remove impurities and foam on the surface of mung beans, thus ensuring the cleanliness and hygiene of mung beans.
