About Horse gram

Horse gram is a highly nutritious legume widely used in South Asian cuisine, particularly in India. Known for its earthy flavor and versatility, it is commonly incorporated into soups, curries, and chutneys. Packed with protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals like iron, calcium, and phosphorus, horse gram is an excellent choice for vegetarians and those seeking sustainable energy. Its high protein content supports muscle health, while its dietary fiber aids digestion and promotes weight management. Horse gram is also celebrated for its medicinal properties in Ayurveda, as it may help manage diabetes, kidney stones, and high cholesterol. However, it is considered heating for the body, meaning it should be consumed in moderation, especially by individuals prone to acidity or during warmer weather. With its rich nutrient profile and traditional value, horse gram is an economical yet robust addition to a healthy diet.
