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.
