is rajma healthy - #27427
I am really confused about this whole rajma thing. Like, I’ve been eating it since I was a kid, but I’ve started to wonder, is rajma healthy? A few weeks ago, my doctor mentioned something about protein intake and how rajma is a good source, but then I read an article that said too much of it can cause digestive issues. Ugh, talk about mixed messages! On the weekends, my family always makes rajma with rice, and I there's something comforting about it, ya know? But then my friend said she heard that rajma can be high in something called lectins, which could be bad for gut health or something like that, and I'm like – is rajma healthy or not??!! Just last week, I had this crazy stomach pain after a dinner with rajma, and I’m not sure if it was the rajma or if it was just something I ate earlier. People keep telling me it's a healthy vegetarian option, but what if I’m really doing more harm than good by eating it regularly? How can something be so tasty but also potentially… harmful?? Anyway, any advice or insights would be super helpful, like, can I enjoy my rajma guilt-free or should I cut back?
