I know this might not be palatable looking to you guys but this is actually my favourite meal and I swear it tastes very good despite how it looks.
Mung bean/ Munggo bean is known in the Philippines as “the poor man’s meat”. Because it is very high in protein and it is really affordable. It takes a long time to cook as the beans need to be pre soaked in water and boiled until it is open and soft. But in my household we eat this very frequently as my husband and the dog also loved it as much as I do.

I haven't eaten Mung beans in a long time. Do you have a favourite recipe for this? I would like to try it. We do cook beans reasonably often and I am trying to be more conscientious and use the pressure cooker because it cuts the cooking time a lot and saves a lot of electricity (and consequently carbon emissions!)

Beans are good food, and good for us. We have them often.

Yes they are very good for us. The protein and the high fiber. Glad you have it often.
