Mung beans are known for being an easily digestible and nutritious legume but they also make for a great cover crop! Excellent drought and heat tolerance make this nitrogen fixer ideal for summer plantings in low rainfall and extreme environments. When comparing price per pound to cowpeas, mung beans will cost more but their small seed size means you get many more seeds per pound. This plant is quick to grow and is a big biomass producer, making it ideal for weed suppression and high palatability makes it a great addition to any summer grazing mix. Plant mung beans with at least 60 days before frost to get the best bang for your buck! https://zurl.co/KJRl
