About Horse Gram
Horse gram (Macrotyloma uniflorum) is a climate-resilient lentil grown mainly in southern and central India. Known for its drought resistance, it serves both as a nutritious human food and animal feed.
It's rich in protein, fiber, and minerals like calcium, iron, and phosphorus. It supports digestion, regulates blood sugar, and promotes overall health. Locally known as Kollu (Tamil), Kulthi Dal (Hindi), and Ulavalu (Telugu), it’s a staple in traditional diets.
