Black Horse Gram: Overview
Black Horse Gram is a highly nutritious legume derived from the plant Macrotyloma uniflorum, known for its robust health benefits and traditional use in Indian medicine. It is rich in protein, iron, calcium, dietary fiber, and antioxidants, making it an excellent food for energy, stamina, and overall well-being. Black horse gram is often used to support weight loss, manage diabetes, and improve digestive health due to its low glycemic index and high fiber content.
In Ayurvedic and Siddha medicine, it is traditionally used to treat kidney stones, urinary disorders, cough, fever, and joint pain. The seeds are small, hard, and dark brown to black in color. They require soaking and thorough cooking or sprouting for optimal digestion. Black horse gram is commonly prepared in soups, stews, or lentil-based dishes. While slightly earthy in flavor, it is highly valued for its medicinal and nutritional properties.
