message: Above is the Tamil for urd bean. I took it from the idli page when I was fixing a wikilink. I know how much work non-Roman text can be and it seemed like such a shame to just delete it that I moved it here instead.JFD 21:55, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I was hospitalized today for several hours with excruciating pain caused by balloon-like intestines, after having eaten 200g of Dal Makhani (prepared dish with matpe beans) the night before. the preparation contains ginger and asa foetida, so i wouldn't count on the benefit of those spices. --Sarefo 21:57, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

message: As far as I can make it, the black beluga lentil is actually another name for Vigna mungo, so the statement below should probably be removed:
"not to be confused with the much smaller true black lentil"
"Black beluga" seems to be an American name that comes from the marketing department of some seed catalog or food craze company, not from any farmer or traditional population. There is actually no information on the web at all about "black beluga", apart from those selling or cooking it.
Botanically, black beluga is definitely not a lentil (Lens,) and it does not look like a true bean (Phaseolus) either, but I am no specialist. Maybe someone can compare the seeds side by side and grow the seedlings into plants to confirm?

message: The folate content for raw vigna mungo is given here as 216 micrograms per 100 grams. This is also what it indicated on the USDA FoodData Central web site.
https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/fdc-app.html#/food-details/174259/nutrients
However, this number is about 4 to 5 times lower than expected for all legumes of this kind. Another source of information, a book, gives the much more likely number of 628 micrograms per 100 grams.
https://books.google.com.au/books?id=dH6S9MwTupUC&pg=PA207&lpg=PA207&dq=%22black+gram%22+%22folate%22&source=bl&ots=Xejbytpq-u&sig=ACfU3U0KMYRqrYrZLtO74INGMsq8U7QmYA&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjjx4qQ6O7pAhVNyzgGHQgOCVQQ6AEwE3oECAIQAQ#v=onepage&q=%22black%20gram%22%20%22folate%22&f=false
The number given on this wikipedia page and also on the USDA web site is almost certainly the value for the cooked beans, not the raw beans.
I think this problem should be fixed on wikipedia. It can't be fixed on the USDA web site because they say that SR Legacy records will never be altered, as a matter of policy.
