Whole or hulled , minapappu is very healthy , especially for a vegetarian like me for the following reasons @keviinusa

Black gram beans hold 341 calories and provide 25.21 g or 45% of recommended daily values of protein. Though their calorie value is comparatively lesser, the beans carry relatively high protein composition than chickpeas.

 

Black gram beans are unique among the legumes in having soluble mucilaginous polysaccharides. They compose excellent levels of dietary fiber which works as a bulk laxative that helps to protect the colon mucosa by decreasing its exposure time to toxic substances as well as by binding to cancer-causing chemicals in the colon. Dietary fiber has also been shown to reduce blood cholesterol levels by decreasing reabsorption of cholesterol binding bile acids in the colon.

 

Urad beans contain small fractions of isoflavones in them are glycitein, genistein, daidzein and formononetin. Isoflavones have been found to reduce post-menopausal cancers and osteoporosis.

 

They are excellent sources of B-complex vitamins. At 216 μg or 54% of daily values per 100 g, folates are plentiful in them Folate, along with vitamin B-12, is one of the essential co-factor for DNA synthesis and cell division. Adequate folate in the diet around conception and during pregnancy may help prevent neural-tube defects in the newborn baby.

 

Additionally, they compose very good levels of many B-complex vitamins such as vitamin-B6-22%, thiamin-23%, pantothenic acid-18%, riboflavin-20%, and niacin-9% of daily recommended values. Most of these vitamins works as co-factors for the enzymes in carbohydrate, protein, and fat metabolism.

 

Urad beans also incredible sources of minerals. The beans are rich in iron at 7.57 mg or 95% of RDI. Iron improves memory power, cognition and help prevent anemia. Other minerals in ample quantities in these beans are calcium-14%, copper-109%, magnesium-67%, zinc-30%, and phosphorus-54% of DV (daily values)

 

They also rich in potassium, 983 mg (21%) per 100 g, nearly 1.5 times more than in chickpeas. Potassium electrolyte is present in cell and body fluids. It helps counter pressing effects of sodium on heart and blood pressure
