About Toor dal
Toor Dal, also known as pigeon peas, is a staple legume in Indian cuisine, particularly prominent in South Indian dishes like sambar. It is a rich source of protein, fiber, and essential nutrients such as folate, iron, and magnesium, making it a valuable addition to vegetarian and vegan diets. Low in fat yet high in plant-based protein, Toor Dal supports muscle health, digestion, and energy production. Packed with antioxidants, it also promotes overall wellness. The dal is naturally gluten-free and a heart-healthy choice when prepared without excess oil or salt. Traditionally, it is used to create flavorful, spiced stews or lentil curries and pairs well with rice or flatbreads. While a healthy choice, portion control is key if made with ghee or other high-fat ingredients. Versatile and nourishing, Toor Dal is a cornerstone of wholesome, balanced meals across many cultures.
