So, what is mauritius velvet bean?
Mauritius velvet bean, also known as Mucuna pruriens, is a tropical legume that is commonly found in Africa and Asia. The bean's velvet-like texture and rich brown color make it an appealing addition to various dishes, from soups to stews. It's also been used traditionally in herbal medicine for its potential to improve mood, boost libido and reduce stress. This versatile and nutritious ingredient is high in protein, fiber, iron, and antioxidants, making it a great plant-based option for those looking to add some extra nutrients to their diet.
We've built a vegan ingredients scanner that classifies food ingredients as "vegan", "non-vegan", or "potentially vegan".
It allows you to avoid non-vegan ingredients - just take a picture of a product's ingredient list, and the app tells you if the product is vegan or not.
