About Vatana

Vatana, commonly known as dried green peas, is a versatile legume widely used in Indian cuisine, especially in dishes like curries, chaat, and puris. Packed with essential nutrients, Vatana is rich in plant-based protein, dietary fiber, vitamins A, C, and K, as well as minerals like iron and potassium. These nutrients support digestion, promote heart health, and aid in maintaining energy levels. Originating from India, Vatana has been a dietary staple due to its affordability, long shelf life, and ability to absorb robust flavors. While its high fiber content makes it beneficial for gut health, it should be consumed in moderation as it may cause bloating for some individuals if not cooked properly. Low in fat and cholesterol, Vatana is an excellent ingredient for balanced meals that nourish the body and complement a plant-based or vegetarian diet.
