Horse Gram

Macrotyloma uniflorum is a legume native to tropical southern Asia. Known for its distinct taste and texture, its rich nutrients and reputed medicinal properties, it is widely used in many cuisines. It is also commonly grown for horse feed, hence the name "horse gram". Horse gram is grown in parts of India, Nepal, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, and the West Indies. Consumed whole, sprouted, or ground, it is also allowed to be eaten on some Hindu fasting days. Medical uses of these legumes are described in the Ayurveda.
