About Moong chilka dal
Moong Chilka Dal is a protein-rich split green gram lentil with its husk intact, a staple in Indian cuisine. Renowned for its earthy and mildly nutty flavor, it is often used to prepare hearty soups, stews, and dal curries. This variety retains more fiber than its skinned counterpart, making it beneficial for digestion and heart health. Packed with essential nutrients such as iron, potassium, vitamin B, and antioxidants, it is an excellent source of plant-based protein, especially for vegetarians and vegans. Low in fat and free from cholesterol, Moong Chilka Dal aids in weight management and helps in stabilizing blood sugar levels. However, cooking methods matter; preparations involving excessive oil, butter, or ghee can reduce its overall health benefits. Whether lightly spiced for simple meals or cooked into rich curries, this lentil is a nutritious and versatile ingredient for wholesome eating.
