About Toor daal

Toor Daal, also known as split pigeon peas, is a staple ingredient in Indian cuisine and widely used in dishes like dals and soups. Originating in South Asia, it's a nutrient-rich legume packed with protein, dietary fiber, iron, magnesium, and B vitamins. Toor Daal is an excellent plant-based protein source, making it ideal for vegetarian and vegan diets. Its fiber aids digestion and promotes satiety, while the iron supports healthy blood production. Magnesium contributes to heart health and energy metabolism. Toor Daal is naturally low in fat and cholesterol, making it a heart-healthy choice. However, its nutrient profile can vary depending on preparation methods; pairing it with excessive oils or ghee adds extra calories and saturated fats. When cooked with spices and vegetables, it becomes a wholesome, nutrient-dense dish that aligns with balanced eating habits while embracing the flavors of South Asian culinary tradition.
