About Moth beans boiled

Moth beans, also known as matki, are small, protein-rich legumes commonly used in Indian cuisine. When boiled, they become tender and slightly nutty in flavor, making them an excellent base for salads, curries, or soups. Originating from South Asian regions, moth beans are celebrated for their nutritional value. A serving is packed with protein, dietary fiber, and essential vitamins like folate and B-complex, along with minerals such as potassium, magnesium, and zinc. These beans are particularly beneficial for promoting digestion, supporting muscle health, and maintaining heart function. Low in fat and naturally gluten-free, boiled moth beans are a wholesome addition to vegetarian or vegan diets. However, they can cause bloating or gas if consumed in excess or if cooked improperly. Their versatility, combined with their dense nutrient profile, makes them a valuable component in various healthy and balanced meals.
