VELLAI KOLLU (or) WHITE HORSEGRAM

Egkam’s Vellai Kollu is sourced from native, small-scale farms and naturally sun-dried to preserve its nutritional quality. Unlike the more common brown horse gram, this white variant is easier to digest, less heating to the body, and ideal for people with sensitive constitutions.

Traditionally used in Tamil households for medicinal cooking, it’s known to support weight loss, improve digestion, regulate blood sugar, and aid in detoxifying the body.

It can be used to prepare rasam, soups, porridge, or dry curries (sundal). It is especially popular in postpartum care diets for strengthening and rejuvenation.

🌿 How to Use:

Soak overnight before cooking to reduce cooking time.

Can be pressure-cooked and used in rasam, kollu sundal, or kollu podi.

Roast and grind into powder to mix with hot water or kanji.

Combine with spices for therapeutic soups and home remedies.

⚠ Note:

May take longer to cook if not soaked.

Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.

Suitable for regular use but best consumed moderately in hot weather.

100% natural, unpolished, and free from additives.
