Vigna mungo seeds contain trypsin inhibitors and condensed tannins, sometimes in larger amounts than chickpeas, faba beans and peas. This could limit their use if they are not processed for feeding to monogastric species. However, experimental results are inconsistent (Wiryawan, 1997; Yamazaki et al., 1988). The seeds are free from glucosides (Göhl, 1982; Wiryawan, 1997).
