Pachai Payaru or Green Gram Dosai

Green gram, also known as the mung bean, is a small round bean similar in shape to the field pea. People primarily eat green gram as a sprout, and as a bean it cooks up fast and has a sweet flavor. With its high fiber and nutrient content, it offers a number of health benefits.

Pachai Payaru Dosai

 Helps With Weight Control

If you're having trouble losing weight because you feel too hungry whenever you cut back on calories, consider adding green gram to your diet. A 1-cup serving has 15 grams of fiber. Fiber in food fills you up and makes you feel satisfied. When people eat an additional 14 grams of fiber a day, they eat 10 percent fewer calories.

Lowers Blood Pressure

Doctors recommend you get 4,700 milligrams of potassium a day. Eating a potassium-rich diet helps lower blood pressure by counteracting the effects of sodium. One cup of cooked green gram contains 537 milligrams of potassium; that's more than 10 percent of the recommended daily amount.

Nonmeat Source of Iron

Women and children have the greatest need for iron and are at the most risk for deficiency. Not getting enough iron in the diet is one reason deficiency occurs. As a source of iron, green gram can help you meet your daily iron needs. Combining your green gram with a vitamin C-rich food, such as peppers, helps with iron absorption.
