About Masoor split bean

Masoor Split Bean, also known as red lentils, is a widely used legume in South Asian cuisine. With their soft texture and earthy flavor, they are a staple in dishes like dal and soups. Originating from India, masoor beans are small, lens-shaped legumes that cook quickly and absorb spices well, making them ideal for flavorful curries and stews. Packed with nutrients, masoor beans are an excellent source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, iron, and folate, supporting muscle health, digestion, and red blood cell production. They are low in fat and free from cholesterol, making them heart-healthy. Masoor beans are naturally gluten-free and a suitable option for vegetarian and vegan diets. However, they may be high in carbohydrates, so portion control is recommended for individuals managing blood sugar levels. A versatile and nutritious choice, masoor split beans are a delicious way to boost nutritional intake.
