Guar beans are the seeds of the guar plant, a legume native to India and Pakistan. They are primarily grown for their high content of guar gum, a natural thickening agent used in various food and industrial applications. Guar beans are typically harvested in the summer and can be processed into powder for easy use. These beans are rich in protein and dietary fiber, making them a nutritious addition to many diets. They are often used in gluten-free products and can also be found in animal feed. The cultivation of guar beans supports local economies and contributes to sustainable agricultural practices.
