About Bengal gram

Bengal Gram, also known as chana dal or split chickpeas, is a highly nutritious legume widely used in South Asian cuisine. Native to the Indian subcontinent, this pulse is a staple ingredient in a variety of dishes, from curries to soups and snacks. Bengal Gram is a rich source of plant-based protein and dietary fiber, making it excellent for supporting digestion and maintaining energy levels. It is also packed with essential nutrients, including iron, magnesium, and B-vitamins, which contribute to overall health. Additionally, its low glycemic index makes it an ideal choice for managing blood sugar levels. While it is naturally low in fat, moderation is advised when prepared with heavy oils, creams, or fried methods. Whether included in savory recipes or ground into flour for gluten-free baking, Bengal Gram is a versatile superfood that fits seamlessly into a balanced diet.
