About Daal lentils

Daal Lentils are a staple in South Asian cuisine, originating primarily from India, Pakistan, and Nepal. These small legumes are rich in protein, fiber, and essential nutrients, making them a popular choice for vegetarians and vegans. Packed with iron, potassium, and folate, daal lentils support heart health, digestion, and energy levels. They are low in fat and cholesterol-free, adding nutritious value to soups, stews, and curries. However, preparation methods, like adding ghee or cream, can increase the fat content, so lighter cooking alternatives may be preferred for a healthier dish. Versatile and satisfying, daal lentils are a great addition to balanced meals.
