Description
Mucuna seeds, also known as Velvet beans, are the seeds of the Mucuna pruriens plant. These seeds are small and usually have an oval or kidney shape. They are known for their rich nutritional profile and potential health benefits. Mucuna seeds contain high levels of protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. They are also a natural source of L-Dopa, a precursor to dopamine, a neurotransmitter in the brain. Due to their L-Dopa content, Mucuna seeds are often used as a natural supplement to support brain health, mood, and overall well-being. They may be consumed in various forms, including as whole seeds, ground into powder, or used in extract or supplement formulations.
