Are particularly small mung beans genetically modified

Specially small mung beans are usually not genetically modified, and their size is related to factors such as variety, growth environment, and planting conditions. The size difference of mung beans is mainly determined by natural factors such as genetic factors, soil fertility, water supply, and climatic conditions. There are many varieties of mung beans, and there are natural differences in the size of different varieties of mung beans. Some mung bean varieties are naturally smaller in size, which is the result of long-term natural selection and artificial breeding. Factors such as insufficient soil fertility, unstable water supply, and poor climatic conditions may also lead to limited growth and smaller particle size of mung beans. These are all normal phenomena in the natural growth process and have nothing to do with genetic modification technology. Currently, the commercial cultivation of genetically modified mung beans has not been approved in China. The mung beans circulating in the market, including varieties with smaller particles, are mostly cultivated through traditional breeding methods. Genetically modified crops require strict biosafety evaluation and approval procedures. China has very strict management of genetically modified crops, and unapproved genetically modified crops are not allowed to be planted or sold.

When choosing mung beans, there is no need to overly worry about genetically modified issues, but rather focus on the freshness and quality of the beans. It is recommended to choose mung beans with plump particles, uniform color, and no insect infestation or mold. When storing, it should be placed in a cool and dry place to avoid moisture and deterioration. Mung beans are rich in protein, dietary fiber and a variety of vitamins and minerals. They have the effects of clearing heat, detoxifying, relieving heat and promoting diuresis. They can be used to cook Congee, make desserts or eat after sprouting. They are good health food in summer.
