About Paruppu

Paruppu, commonly known as lentils, is a staple ingredient in South Indian cuisine, integral to dishes like sambar and dal. Derived from legumes, paruppu comes in various types, including toor dal, moong dal, and masoor dal. Rich in plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and essential nutrients like iron, folate, and magnesium, it is highly valued for its ability to promote digestive health, support heart health, and maintain steady blood sugar levels. Low in fat and free of cholesterol, paruppu is an excellent choice for vegetarian and vegan diets. However, some preparations may include added oil, salt, or ghee, which can impact its overall health profile. Versatile and easy to cook, paruppu embodies the nutritional benefits and flavors of Indian cuisine, offering both sustenance and delight in every serving.
