Horse Gram

Horse Gram (Macrotyloma uniflorum) is a highly nutritious legume widely cultivated in India and other tropical regions. It is known for its ability to thrive in dry and arid conditions, making it an important crop for sustainable agriculture.

The beans are small, oval, and brown to reddish-brown in color, with a distinctive earthy flavor. Horse Gram is a powerhouse of protein, iron, calcium, and dietary fiber, making it a valuable food in vegetarian diets. It is also recognized in traditional medicine, especially Ayurveda, for its therapeutic properties such as managing kidney stones, weight loss, and respiratory conditions.

It is consumed in various forms—whole beans, sprouted, ground into flour, or cooked as curries, soups, and chutneys. Horse Gram is also used in traditional recipes like kulthi dal and rasam.
