Mung beans are high in carbohydrates, but they are also rich in fiber (both soluble and insoluble). Black beans also do not contain sugar. Instead, they have slowly-digested carbohydrates and resistant starch. This means that the carbohydrates in mung beans are slowly converted to glucose, and some are not digested at all.
