About Black gram
Black gram, also known as urad dal, is a nutrient-dense legume widely cultivated in South Asia, particularly India. This small, black-skinned pulse with creamy white interiors is a staple in Indian cuisine, used in dishes like dal makhani, idlis, and dosas. Rich in protein, dietary fiber, and complex carbohydrates, black gram is an excellent choice for vegetarians and vegans seeking plant-based protein. It also provides vital nutrients such as iron, potassium, magnesium, and B vitamins, supporting energy production, bone health, and digestion. The high fiber content aids in maintaining healthy cholesterol levels and stabilizing blood sugar. However, black gram can be heavy for digestion for some individuals, especially when consumed in excess or without adequate cooking. When prepared correctly, black gram is a versatile and wholesome ingredient, offering both taste and nutrition in diverse culinary creations.
