Horse gram aka  kulthi bean (Scientifically known as Macrotyloma uniflorum) is one of the lesser-known beans.  In Ayurvedic tradition, horse gram is considered a food with medicinal qualities. It is prescribed for persons suffering from jaundice or water retention and as part of a weight-loss diet. Horse gram is mainly cultivated in India. It is consumed as a whole seed, as sprouts, or as a whole meal in India, popular in many parts of India. In traditional Indian medicine besides nutritional importance, it has been linked to a reduced risk of various diseases due to the presence of non-nutritive bioactive substances. These bioactive substances such as phytic acid, phenolic acid, fiber, enzymatic/proteinase inhibitors have significant metabolic and/or physiological effects.
