About Stink beans

Stink beans, also known as petai or bitter beans, are a distinctive legume popular in Southeast Asian cuisine, particularly in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. These vibrant green beans are known for their bold, pungent aroma and slightly bitter taste, which adds depth to dishes like stir-fries, sambals, and curries. Packed with nutrients, stink beans are a good source of protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals such as potassium and iron, which support heart health and digestion. They also contain antioxidants and phytochemicals that may have anti-inflammatory benefits. Despite their health advantages, stink beans have a reputation for contributing to strong-smelling breath and urine due to sulfuric compounds naturally present in the bean. Consumed in moderation, they provide a unique flavor profile while delivering valuable nutritional benefits to a balanced diet.
