Most of the seed pods become darker, while some remain green. Once matured, it can reach up to 30 inches (76 cm) tall, with multiple branches with seed pods. After that, seed pods begin to form on its branches, with 10-15 seeds contained in each pod.

If not harvested, it develops a root system, then a green stem which contains two leaves shoots up from the soil. Mung bean sprouts are harvested during this stage. Īfter germination, the seed splits, and a soft, whitish root grows. It is epigeal, with the stem and cotyledons emerging from the seedbed. Germination is typically within 4–5 days, but the actual rate varies according to the amount of moisture introduced during the germination stage. Seed colors and presence or absence of a rough layer are used to distinguish different types of mung bean. The pods are 5–10 cm long and 0.4-0.6 cm wide and contain 12-14 septum-separated seeds, which are either green, yellow, brown or blue and can be cylindrical or spherical in shape. The fruits are elongated cylindrical or flat cylindrical pods, usually 30-50 per plant. Racemes with yellow flowers are borne in the axils and tips of the leaves, with 10-25 flowers per pedicel, self-pollinated. The leaves are 6–12 cm long and 5–10 cm wide. Leaves are ovoid or broad-ovoid, cotyledons die after emergence, and ternate leaves are produced on two single leaves. Wild types tend to be prostrate while cultivated types are more erect. They can be divided into erect cespitose, semi-trailing and trailing types. Young stems are purple or green, and mature stems are grayish yellow or brown. Stems are much branched, sometimes twining at the tips. The lateral roots are many and slender, with root nodules grown.
