About Yellow split lentils

Yellow split lentils, also known as moong dal, are a popular legume widely used in Indian, Middle Eastern, and Southeast Asian cuisines. These lentils are derived from mung beans and are hulled and split to provide a smoother texture when cooked. Rich in protein, dietary fiber, and essential vitamins such as folate and B-complex, they are a nutritious choice for vegetarian and vegan diets. Yellow split lentils are low in fat and contain beneficial minerals including iron, magnesium, and potassium, making them heart-healthy and supportive of digestive health. They are easy to digest and versatile in dishes like soups, curries, and stews. However, those sensitive to legumes should consume them in moderation, as they may cause bloating for some. Naturally gluten-free, these lentils are a flavorful and nourishing ingredient for a balanced diet.
