About Moth beans
Moth beans, native to India and Southeast Asia, are small, oval legumes cherished for their robust nutritional profile. Rich in protein, dietary fiber, iron, and essential vitamins like B-complex, they serve as a powerhouse for energy and digestion support. They’re especially prominent in Indian cuisine, often used in curries, sprouts, and savory snacks. Low in fat and packed with antioxidants, moth beans support heart health and may help manage blood sugar levels. Their versatility makes them a suitable choice for vegan and vegetarian diets. However, like other legumes, moth beans contain natural antinutrients such as phytic acid, which can hinder nutrient absorption; soaking or cooking helps reduce these effects. Easy to incorporate into meals, moth beans stand out as a nutritious and filling food with roots in traditional cooking and modern health-conscious diets.
