About Tuar dal

Tuar dal, also known as pigeon pea or arhar dal, is a staple legume in Indian cuisine, widely used to prepare dishes like dal tadka and sambhar. This golden-yellow split lentil is rich in protein, dietary fiber, and essential nutrients such as iron, potassium, and folate, making it an excellent choice for supporting heart health, digestion, and maintaining energy levels. Naturally low in fat and cholesterol, tuar dal is a great plant-based protein source for vegetarians and vegans. It is also packed with antioxidants and B vitamins, which contribute to overall health. However, it is traditionally cooked with spices and sometimes added fats like ghee or oil, which may increase calorie content. Consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet, tuar dal is a wholesome ingredient that supports a variety of healthy eating habits.
