Description
Urid Dal Split Beans - 500 g
Urid Dal, also known as split white lentils or split black gram without husk, is a classic legume with deep roots in South Asian cuisine. The beans are sold in dried form and are recognizable by their creamy white color and flat, oval shape, which results from the removal of the dark outer husk. The product is packaged in a sealed 500-gram bag that protects the contents from moisture and light during storage. Urid Dal is widely used in cooking and is particularly suitable for preparing dhal, a spicy lentil soup, as well as for fermented dishes such as idli and dosa, popular breakfast dishes in South India. The beans can also be used as a base in hearty stews, casseroles, and as a protein source in vegetarian meals. Before cooking, it is recommended to rinse the beans thoroughly and soak them in water for several hours to shorten cooking time and improve digestibility. The texture after cooking is soft and creamy, making them ideal for pureed dishes and thick soups. The taste is mild and earthy with a slight nutty undertone, which pairs well with strong spices such as cumin, turmeric, and coriander. Nutritionally, Urid Dal is notable for its high content of plant protein at 26 g per 100 g, as well as a significant fiber content of 28 g per 100 g, contributing to satiety and supporting a balanced diet. The energy content is 1249 kJ corresponding to 298 kcal per 100 g. The product is suitable for vegans, vegetarians, and individuals who wish to increase their daily protein intake through plant-based foods. The bag should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. After opening, transfer any remaining beans to an airtight container to maintain freshness and quality. Urid Dal is a versatile and nutritious ingredient choice for everyday dishes, Indian-inspired cooking, vegan diets, and protein-rich plant-based meals.
