Shim Bichi, also known as cluster beans (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba), is a vegetable commonly used in South Asian cooking. These small, green beans are harvested from a leguminous plant and are typically eaten while still tender. They have a slightly bitter taste and are packed with nutrients like vitamins A, C, and K, along with essential minerals such as calcium, iron, and potassium. Shim Bichi is rich in fiber, which aids in digestion and helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels. They are often used in curries, stir-fries, and dals, and are a popular ingredient in many traditional dishes.
