About Masoor dal

Masoor Dal, commonly known as split red lentils, is a staple ingredient in Indian cuisine and widely used in South Asian cooking. Derived from the lentil plant, these orange-hued legumes are rich in essential nutrients, including protein, dietary fiber, iron, folate, and potassium. Masoor Dal is naturally low in fat and contains no cholesterol, making it a heart-healthy choice. Its high protein content makes it an excellent option for vegetarians and vegans seeking alternative sources of nutrition. Rich in antioxidants, it can support overall cellular health while helping to regulate blood sugar levels and improve digestion. While Masoor Dal is nutrient-dense, it’s important to balance portions as excessive lentil consumption may lead to gastrointestinal discomfort in some individuals. Easy to cook and versatile, Masoor Dal is frequently used in soups, curries, and salads, offering a flavorful, nutritious addition to any meal.
