Vata Legumes
It’s important for Vata that legumes are well cooked & spiced. Legumes that are less dense, rough, and dry, are favourable. These beans tend to cook relatively quickly, are easily digested, and offer grounding, nourishing quality. Many other beans are too dry, rough, and hard for Vata’s delicate digestion.
