Simi (सिमी) collection
Hyacinth Bean (Lablab purpureus), commonly known as Indian bean, Lablab bean, or Simi (in Nepali), is a nutrient-rich legume widely grown across tropical and subtropical regions. It has been cultivated for centuries in Asia and Africa as both a vegetable and a pulse crop.
This bean is valued for its high protein content, dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals, making it a powerful food for promoting health, nutrition, and energy. Both the tender pods and mature seeds are edible and used in curries, soups, and traditional dishes.
Hyacinth beans provide a high-quality plant protein, essential for muscle repair, enzyme production, and tissue growth — an excellent alternative to animal protein.
The dietary fiber in Simi aids digestion, prevents constipation, and promotes a healthy gut microbiota balance.
Low in glycemic index and high in complex carbohydrates, it helps maintain stable blood glucose, making it beneficial for diabetics.
Rich in magnesium, potassium, and dietary fiber, the bean reduces cholesterol and supports healthy blood pressure.
Its antioxidants and vitamins (C, E, and B-complex) enhance the body’s immune response and protect against oxidative stress.
Packed with iron and folate, it promotes red blood cell formation and helps prevent iron-deficiency anemia.
Contains calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium, vital for bone density and preventing osteoporosis.
Low in fat and high in fiber and protein, it helps control appetite and supports healthy weight loss.
Antioxidants and proteins aid in collagen formation, nourishing skin and strengthening hair follicles.
The presence of flavonoids and polyphenols helps remove free radicals, reduce inflammation, and support liver detoxification.
