Benefits of Cluter Beans: 

As a rich source of protein and fiber, cluster beans have several health benefits in both vegetable and powder form (guar gum). Guar gum has also been shown to be useful in weight loss and diabetes treatment. The fiber in guar slows down the digestion of a meal which lowers the glycemic index of the meal. The slow digestion means you feel full for a longer period of time, and eat less, thereby helping you lose weight. A diet rich in vegetables coupled is great for the health. Diet experts say that a cup of cooked cluster beans contains nearly 110 calorie. Most of the pod is protein, while the seeds are largely carbohydrate-rich endosperm.
