Bite Into These Relishing Fibrous Pearly Peas For Immense Health Benefits

Legumes, lentils, pulses, or beans, a fundamental ingredient in any food platter of the world, we know them by more than many names. No matter how tiny they may appear, when it comes to health incentives, who can underestimate the power of these itsy-bitsy kernels that are a powerhouse of all the possible nutrition of the world?

No one indeed. Part of the Fabaceae family, lentils are edible seeds of the lentil plant native to Asia and North America. From vitamins and minerals to gut-friendly fibers, they are blessed with almost every nutriment that any plant-based meal can provide to the human soul. During one of those days when fresh peas (which is more of a winter veggie) are not available and you are looking forward to savoring a starchier, hardier, flavorsome similar legume, black vatana will come to your rescue. A nutritionally mighty member and dried version of the legume family, this semi greenish rather blackish pea is super starchy, fibrous option that is easy to cook, easier on pocket and sumptuous on the tongue. The method of preparation for this legume is a tad bit different from its other lentil cousins, but it is a great source of cholesterol-lowering fibres, minerals and other important nutrients.
