About Legume
Legumes are a diverse group of nutrient-dense seeds or pods, including beans, lentils, chickpeas, peas, and peanuts, originating from various global cuisines such as Mediterranean, Indian, and Latin American. Packed with plant-based protein, dietary fiber, iron, folate, and essential minerals like magnesium and potassium, legumes are an excellent staple for heart health, digestion, and sustained energy. They are a cornerstone of vegetarian and vegan diets, offering a versatile, cholesterol-free alternative to animal proteins. Regular consumption has been linked to lower cholesterol levels, improved blood sugar control, and reduced risk of chronic diseases. However, some legumes contain anti-nutrients like lectins, which may interfere with nutrient absorption, though proper cooking reduces these effects. Low in fat and naturally gluten-free, legumes are a wholesome addition to soups, stews, salads, and spreads, making them a delicious and affordable way to boost nutrition in any meal.
