About Moong dal paste

Moong Dal Paste is a smooth, nutrient-rich paste made from moong dal, which are split yellow mung beans. Originating from Indian cuisine, this versatile ingredient is widely used in traditional recipes such as curries, soups, dips, and desserts. Packed with protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals including folate, iron, and magnesium, it offers numerous health benefits, supporting digestion, heart health, and energy levels. Moong dal is also low in calories and fat, making it a suitable choice for weight management. The paste is usually prepared by cooking moong dal until soft and blending it into a creamy consistency, sometimes with added spices or seasonings for flavor. While it is generally healthy, ingredients like oils, sugars, or heavy cream added during preparation can impact its nutritional profile, so moderation is key. Moong Dal Paste is a wholesome, plant-based option for enhancing a variety of dishes.
