The mung bean, also known as mungbean, mung, green gram, golden gram; or in other languages, choroko, mongo, moong, moog (whole) or moog dal , munggo or monggo , is the seed of Vigna radiata.

They are small, ovoid in shape, and green in color.

The mung bean is one of many species recently moved from the genus Phaseolus to Vigna, and is still often seen cited as Phaseolus aureus or Phaseolus radiatus. These variations of nomenclature have been used regarding the same plant species.
