Instant Sprouted Matki Usal – (Mothbean)

Why You Will Love It

Bring the heart of a Maharashtrian kitchen to your plate with our Instant Sprouted Matki Usal. Moth beans (Matki) are prized for their distinct nutty flavor and earthy aroma, which we have perfectly preserved in this ready-to-cook mix. Traditionally, making Matki Usal involves a long process of soaking and sprouting, but we’ve done all the prep work for you! Seasoned with a blend of authentic spices that enhance rather than overpower the bean’s natural taste, this dish offers a delicious, protein-rich meal that tastes just like it was made by Mom—ready in just 5 minutes.

• Stress Buster: Contains magnesium, which helps relax muscles, reduce stress, and improve sleep quality.
• Muscle Building: A powerhouse of vegetarian protein, making it an excellent post-workout meal to aid muscle recovery.
• Gut Friendly: The sprouting process reduces anti-nutrients, making the beans lighter on the stomach and easier to digest while maximizing nutrient absorption.
