kidney beans, or rajma, are a common food in many Indian homes. However, not every rajma is made equally. Pahadi Rajma (hill kidney beans), which are found in the high elevations of Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh, are notable not only for their flavor but also for their excellent nutritional value, purity, and ease of digestion.
Let’s examine the health benefits of Pahadi Rajma above ordinary rajma and why it should be a fixture in your kitchen.
🏔️ 1. Grown in Pure, Pollution-Free Soil
Pahadi Rajma is grown in high-altitude communities with mineral-rich soil, free from industrial pollution and without the use of artificial pesticides or fertilizers. The beans are thus made:
- Completely natural
- Free from hazardous substances.
- Packed with trace minerals, including potassium, magnesium, and iron
🍲 2. Easier to Cook and Digest
Compared to regular rajma, Pahadi rajma cooks faster and is lighter on the stomach. It doesn’t cause bloating or heaviness—making it ideal for people with sensitive digestion or children.
This is due to:
- Mountain dew naturally soaks the beans, making them softer and smaller.
