Thua Thong is also known as green gram mungo or Ludou (Chinese) is the seed of Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek var. ratiata [Phaseolus radiatus L.; P. mungo L.; P. aureus Roxb.] (Family Leguminosae).
Thua Thong bean possesses detoxicant, heat dispersing, diuretic, and hypolipemic properties. The most common traditional uses of Thua Thong include heat rash, prickly heat, summer heat syndrome (restlessness, irritability, thirst, etc.), heatstroke, food and drug poisoning, "toxic" conditions (erysipelas, carbuncles, boils, swellings, sores, etc.).
Modern internal uses include treatment for agricultural and heavy metal poisoning, mumps, dysentery, enteritis, and dyspepsia. Modern external uses include treating blackheads, acne, sores, boils, and burns.
Although a common food in China, Thua Thong is often eaten with therapeutic intentions. It is especially popular in summer when it is eaten to prevent heatstroke, heat rash or prickly heat. A favorite way to eat it is in a soup sweetened with rock candy and eaten cold.
Thua Thong has enjoyed a long history of food and medicinal uses, with a written record dating back to the 10th century A.D. Its best known use is the treatment of poisoning of various types, including foods (e.g., mushroom) and herbal drugs (e.g., aconite).
In modern times this use has extended to industrial and environmental poisoning (pesticides, heavy metals, etc.). Some of these treatments have been reported in Chinese herbal and traditional medical journals in recent years.
Thua Thong Vigna radiata is rich in the traditional nutrients, including protein, carbohydrates, fibers, minerals, vitamins and lipids, among others. It must also be rich in other nutrients so far not yet identified, because the traditional ones just can't explain its detoxifying and heat-dispersing properties. Based on its effectiveness in treating and healing burns, reportedly without scars, as well as its recent use in treating acne and blackheads, Thua Thong mungo bean flour has found its way into some skin care cosmetics.
One word of caution. Those who cannot tolerate large amounts of fruits and vegetables should avoid eating too much for long periods.
