Bhatt is known as indigenous soyabean. it is consumed not just in himachal but in Uttaranchal too. It is considered to be very 'hot' as in generating heat in the body and is one of the winter foods. more information may be known from navdanya which has a stall in dilli haat at ina market. often we see numerous indigenous produce from the hills whenever there is an organic produce or hill products festivals in dilli haat at ina market. having been to many in the past, i am bewildered by the sheer variety of produce available in the hills. hope this helps Janaki Turaga
