Whole black lentils are also known as urad beans and black gram. From the rich heritage of South Asian cuisine comes an incredible legume known as black gram. This warm-season lentil crop has maintained a place of honor in traditional Indian medicinal practice for thousands of years, and modern science is now discovering why. Every year, over 3.2 million tons of black gram are sold in the global market, and the number is growing!
Uead also known as urad, Masha, Vigna mungo, and a variety of other names, black gram is a plant highly valued in its entirety — from its roots to its seed pods. These small cylindrical beans are white on the inside, with a black seed coat. The fuzzy seed pods contain between 4-10 lentils each and grow on a bush that ranges in size from 1-3 ft. tall. Very few other members of the legume family can compete with the number of beneficial vitamins and minerals found in black gram. When these lentils are split and have the skin removed they are a creamy white color inside.
Worldwide, the demand for black gram increasing widely because of its nutritional value. India is the largest producer and exporter of black gram or urad.
