A 2022 review published in the *Journal of Postharvest Technology* showed that soaking and germination significantly decrease anti-nutritional factors in legumes like horse gram. But can we eat soaked raw horse gram without further processing, or is more preparation necessary for safety?

But what are the chemicals in horse gram that contribute to its health benefits and, in some cases, its challenging digestibility? Beyond its high protein and fiber content, this resilient legume contains a complex array of bioactive compounds that have both positive and negative effects on human health.
