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.
