Horse Gram [Gahat] (1 kg)

Horse gram, locally known as Gahat, is a traditional and hardy pulse widely cultivated in the hilly regions of Nepal. It is especially valued during the winter season, when dishes like Gahat ko dal, Gahat ko parpate, and Gahat ko kwati become common household foods. Horse gram is known for its warming properties and is traditionally believed to help prevent and treat kidney stones, making it an important ingredient in Nepali food culture. The crop grows well in marginal and dry soils, requiring minimal inputs, which makes it a reliable source of nutrition for rural communities. Rich in protein, fiber, iron, and antioxidants, Gahat contributes both to food security and to the preservation of Nepal’s indigenous culinary traditions.
