Bengal Gram, often called dark brown peas or chana, is usually considered a vital pulse due to its high protein and fibre content. Minerals like manganese, copper, and zinc are present, although in far smaller amounts than the iron, sodium, and selenium. You can get a lot of fibre and folate from just a handful of Bengal gramme.

• The high protein content of bengal gramme has been shown to increase physical stamina. Methionine, an amino acid found in Bengal gramme, enhances cellular activity and, in turn, increases energy. The energy-boosting legume also helps the body run more smoothly as a whole.
• Because of its high calcium content, bengal gramme is beneficial for bone health. The bone-building mechanism is enhanced by the phosphate and vitamin D in Bengal gramme, both of which aid in the absorption of calcium.
• Type 1 and type 2 diabetics can benefit from eating beans because of the high fibre content they contain. Blood insulin and sugar levels, as well as glucose absorption, are both kept steady by the dietary fibre content.
