Key Features & Health Benefits
- High Protein & Energy: One of the richest sources of protein and Vitamin B3 (Niacin), helping to build muscle mass and boost energy levels.
- Digestive Fiber: Rich in both soluble and insoluble fiber, which aids in digestion and helps bulk up stool (though it is heavy to digest, so it is often spiced with ginger/hing).
- Skin Health: In Ayurveda, Urad Dal is used as a natural scrub and face mask to treat acne, remove tan, and give skin a "glow" due to its mineral content.
- Heart Health: High levels of magnesium and potassium help protect the heart by improving blood circulation and preventing damage to arterial walls.
