Green Gram

• Green gram is a good source of plant-based protein, providing approximately 24% of the recommended daily intake (RDI) in a half-cup serving. Protein is essential for building and repairing tissues, maintaining muscle mass, and supporting various bodily functions.
• Green gram is an excellent source of dietary fiber, with a half-cup serving containing about 30% of the RDI. Fiber helps regulate digestion, promote gut health, and contribute to a feeling of fullness, which can aid in weight management.
• Green gram contains high levels of potassium, which helps regulate blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart disease. It also contains saponins, compounds with antioxidant and cholesterol-lowering properties.
• Green gram has a low glycemic index (GI), meaning it causes a slow and steady rise in blood sugar levels. This makes it a suitable food choice for people with diabetes or prediabetes, as it helps prevent blood sugar spikes and crashes.
