Abstract

Horse gram is a type of pulse (legume). Its scientific name is Macrotyloma uniflorum. It is a highly
nutritious food that contains important nutrients such as protein, dietary fibre, iron, calcium,
antioxidants, and vitamins. Horse gram provides many health benefits. It helps in weight loss,
improves digestion, and controls blood sugar levels, which is beneficial for people with diabetes.
It also supports heart health by reducing cholesterol levels and life style disease. In traditional
medicine, horse gram is used to help manage conditions like kidney stones, cold, cough, and
asthma because of its warming properties. Thus, horse gram is a healthy pulse that helps in
maintaining overall health and preventing certain diseases. The present study was undertaken for
phytochemical analysis of horse gram and peanut. So, the present study endings revealed that the
highest value of Phytochemical and was recorded.
