About Stink bean

Stink bean, also known as petai or bitter bean, is a tropical legume commonly used in Southeast Asian cuisine, particularly in Indonesian, Malaysian, and Thai dishes. Recognizable for its strong, distinctive smell, this bean grows in long pods and is typically sautéed, roasted, or added to curries and stir-fries. Packed with nutrients, stink beans are rich in fiber, protein, and essential minerals like potassium and iron. They are particularly noted for their antioxidant properties and ability to support kidney health due to their natural diuretic effect. Despite these benefits, stink beans have a high sulfur content, which can cause strong odors in the breath and urine after consumption. Though unusual to some, this ingredient is highly prized for its unique flavor and nutritional profile, making it a staple in many traditional dishes.
