About Horse gram
Horse gram is a small, hard legume seed used as a pulse in parts of South Asia. The dry seeds are usually brown to reddish-brown and have an earthy flavour; cooking softens them while they can retain a firm texture unless cooked thoroughly.
It is commonly sold dried and prepared after soaking and boiling, or milled into flour in some food traditions. Nutrition comparisons should distinguish dry seeds from soaked or cooked pulses and from flour, since processing changes water content and the measured form.
