About Arhar dal

Arhar Dal, also known as Toor Dal or split pigeon peas, is a staple legume in Indian cuisine. Known for its mild flavor and creamy texture, it is widely used in curries, soups, and stews. Native to India, it has been a dietary cornerstone for centuries. Rich in plant-based protein, dietary fiber, folate, and essential minerals such as iron and magnesium, Arhar Dal supports muscle repair, digestion, and heart health. It is naturally cholesterol-free and low in saturated fat, making it ideal for balanced diets. However, its high carbohydrate content may require mindful moderation for individuals managing blood sugar levels. Typically paired with rice or roti, Arhar Dal provides a complete protein profile when combined with grains. Its nutritional versatility makes it popular among vegetarians and health-conscious eaters alike, while its comforting taste ensures it remains a timeless favorite.
