About Urad dal

Urad Dal, also known as Split Black Gram, is a staple pulse in South Asian cuisine, particularly Indian cooking. Known for its earthy flavor and creamy texture, it plays a central role in dishes like dals, idlis, and dosas. Nutritionally, urad dal is a powerhouse of protein, making it an excellent choice for vegetarians and vegans. It is also rich in dietary fiber, which aids digestion, and contains essential nutrients such as iron, magnesium, and potassium, supporting overall health. Additionally, it provides B-complex vitamins, which help boost energy and support metabolic functions. While it is incredibly nutritious, moderation is key, as its high purine content can lead to increased uric acid levels, posing potential concerns for individuals with gout or kidney issues. When prepared with minimal oil and spices, urad dal can be a healthy and delicious addition to a balanced diet.
