About Masoor dhal
Masoor Dal, commonly known as red lentils, is a staple in Indian and South Asian cuisine, often used in soups, curries, and side dishes. These small, reddish-orange legumes are an excellent source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and essential nutrients such as folate, iron, and potassium. Naturally low in fat and cholesterol-free, Masoor Dal supports heart health, aids digestion, and sustains energy levels due to its complex carbohydrates. Rich in antioxidants, it also promotes overall cellular health. When cooked, Masoor Dal has a mild, earthy flavor and a creamy texture, making it a versatile ingredient in vegetarian and vegan diets.
