It's all about mung beans. To solve the long standing problem of lackluster flavor and texture in veggie burgers, Vivian Lee saw the mung bean as the golden ticket. And along the way, give people who want plant based food alongside their animal proteins. Mung Dynasty Foods is an infant company and Vivian is just now getting her veggie burgers in stores. Vivian is a child of Korean immigrants who loved Korean food had it every meal When they bought an all American diner in Ann Arbor, Michigan Vivian soon had Hungarian goulash, hamburger steak in addition to more great Korean food. So her palate grew as well as her discrimination for good tasting food. It also was the inspiration for working Korean kimchi flavors into her line.
