Moth Beans is one of the most drought-resistant and hardy legumes, making it a natural powerhouse of concentrated nutrients. At Bhat & Bhat Farms, we source small, uniform, and deep-brown Moth Beans that are aged naturally to ensure they cook perfectly. While commercial sources often mix varieties, we provide pure, unpolished Matki that retains its nutty, earthy flavor and characteristic firm texture.
