Our certified organic mung bean starch powder is a refined, native starch extracted from organically grown mung beans (Vigna radiata) using traditional water-washing methods—without chemical modification or synthetic additives. Known for its exceptional clarity, smooth texture, and strong gelling properties, it is a staple in Asian cuisine and increasingly valued in global clean-label and allergen-free food formulations.
With superior thermal stability and a unique ability to form firm yet elastic gels upon cooling, organic mung bean starch outperforms many conventional starches in both culinary authenticity and functional performance.
Mung bean starch is derived from the cotyledons of split mung beans through a physical separation process involving soaking, grinding, sedimentation, and drying. Our organic mung bean starch powder is produced exclusively from non-GMO, certified organic mung beans grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.
Unlike modified starches, this native starch retains its natural granular structure, making it compliant with USDA Organic, EU Organic, and “clean label” standards. It is naturally free from gluten, soy, dairy, and other top allergens.

Applications
Organic mung bean starch is prized for its unique textural properties across diverse food categories:
Asian Noodles & Vermicelli: Essential for producing chewy, transparent glass noodles (e.g., cellophane noodles, bean thread noodles)
Gluten-Free Baking: Enhances structure and moisture retention in breads and pastries
Desserts & Jellies: Forms clear, firm gels for puddings, mochi, and fruit jellies
Sauces & Soups: Provides smooth thickening without cloudiness
Plant-Based Meats: Improves binding and bite resilience
Traditional Medicinal Foods: Used in herbal jellies and health tonics in TCM formulations
Note: Requires full gelatinization (typically 80–90°C) to activate thickening and gelling functionality.

FAQs
Q: Can mung bean starch replace cornstarch?
A: Yes! Use a 1:1 ratio for thickening with superior clarity and elasticity.
Q: Is it suitable for keto diets?
A: With 20g net carbs per 100g, it’s keto-friendly in moderation.
Q: Does it work in cold recipes?
A: No—it requires heating to gelatinize. For cold applications, pre-gelatinized starch is recommended.
Q: Is this starch allergen-free?
A: Yes! Free from gluten, soy, nuts, and dairy.
Q: How does it differ from tapioca starch?
A: Mung bean starch has higher gel strength and transparency, while tapioca offers a chewier, stretchier texture.
