Moth Beans, pronounced as ‘Moat’ and commonly known as ‘Matki’ in India, are beans with brown skin and a brownish-yellow interior. They taste delicious as a regular dal or as sprouts. Moth beans are rich in antioxidants like phenols, carotenoids, and flavonoids. These antioxidants help reduce the risks of cardiovascular disease, certain cancers, and age-related degenerative conditions.
Studies have shown that the germination of moth bean sprouts helps enhance their antioxidant properties. Moth beans are commonly eaten as sprouts or vegetable servings. Nutritious moth beans can be soaked overnight and sprouted for preparing delicious recipes.
