About Udad dal

Udad Dal, also known as black gram or urad dal, is a staple legume in Indian cuisine, valued for its rich taste and versatility. Native to South Asia, this small black-skinned bean with a creamy white interior is commonly used in dals, soups, dosas, and vadas. Packed with nutrients, it is an excellent source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, iron, magnesium, and potassium, making it beneficial for heart health, digestion, and energy levels. Its high protein content supports muscle repair, while the fiber promotes gut health. Udad Dal is low in fat and cholesterol-free, making it ideal for balanced diets. However, due to its richness, overconsumption may lead to digestive discomfort in some individuals, especially when not cooked thoroughly. Whether in hearty curries or fermented batters, Udad Dal is both a nutritious and essential ingredient in many traditional recipes.
