Prep notes
The bean, cooked. Protein and iron like a dense legume. Raw seed and the itching hairs are not food. A cooked pinch or a traditional powder — never the fuzzy pod. Usually prepared before eating. Per 100 g figures match this catalogue row.
Caution
Grocery / shop food data only. Not a wild forage guide. Thrive shows composition curiosity — not medical advice.
