About Petai

Petai, commonly known as stink bean, is a tropical legume native to Southeast Asia and prominently featured in Indonesian, Malaysian, and Thai cuisine. These vibrant green beans grow in long pods and are celebrated for their bold, earthy flavor and distinct aroma. Rich in nutrients, petai is an excellent source of protein, fiber, and vitamins such as B vitamins and vitamin C. It also contains minerals like potassium, which supports heart health, and iron, essential for blood production. Known for its high antioxidant content, petai may help reduce inflammation and boost immunity. However, it contains natural sulfur compounds that contribute to its strong smell and can cause digestive discomfort for some individuals. As a versatile ingredient, petai is often stir-fried, added to sambal chili sauces, or served alongside rice dishes, making it a flavorful and nutritious addition to many meals.
