Product Description
FitTree's Premium Masoor Dal is derived from high-quality whole lentils (Lens culinaris) sourced from the finest cultivation regions. Through a precision milling process, the brown skin is removed, revealing the bright red grain inside, which is then split. We offer both Split Masoor (flat) and Football Masoor (whole red grain) varieties to suit different regional preferences.
At Fittree International, we ensure a clean, stone-free product using advanced Sortex Technology. Unlike other legumes, Masoor Dal is unique because it requires no pre-soaking and cooks in under 20 minutes. This convenience, combined with its distinct earthy yet sweet flavor, makes it an indispensable staple in households and industrial kitchens where speed and energy efficiency are paramount.
