Raw mung beans, like other legumes, contain lectins, a type of natural toxin that can be harmful if you consume large amounts of it. However, mung beans contain a relatively low concentration of this chemical compared to other beans, such as kidney beans. The main danger of eating raw mung beans or sprouts is that they can sometimes be contaminated with harmful bacteria, such as Salmonella or E. coli.
