Cluster beans, also known as guar, are slender green pods widely used in Indian cuisine. They have a slightly bitter taste and a crisp texture that softens upon cooking. Rich in dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals, they support digestion and help manage blood sugar levels. Often cooked with spices, lentils, or potatoes, they make a healthy and flavorful addition to meals. Cluster beans are especially popular in South Indian and Rajasthani dishes.
