About Chana dal

Chana Dal, also known as split Bengal gram, is a staple in Indian cuisine and is widely recognized for its rich nutritional profile. Derived from chickpeas, this legume offers a robust source of protein, fiber, and complex carbohydrates, making it an excellent option for sustaining energy and promoting digestive health. Chana Dal is naturally low in fat and contains essential vitamins like B-complex and minerals such as iron, calcium, and potassium. It is gluten-free, making it suitable for those with gluten sensitivities. In Indian cooking, it is used in dishes ranging from dals and soups to fritters and snacks. While it is highly nutritious, its impact on blood sugar levels can vary depending on preparation, especially if combined with high-fat or calorie-dense ingredients. Incorporating Chana Dal into a balanced diet can enhance heart health, support weight management, and contribute to overall well-being.
