The Science
How It Helps Your Body
Toor dal is India's most nutritionally important pulse. Its folic acid content makes it essential for pregnant women — folate prevents neural tube defects in developing fetuses. The soluble fiber (pectin and guar gum) in toor dal forms a viscous gel in the intestine that binds to LDL cholesterol and bile acids, literally removing them from the body and reducing cardiovascular risk. For convalescent patients, its easy-to-digest protein supports tissue repair without burdening the kidneys.
About This Product
Grown using traditional mixed-cropping methods by smallholder families in Telangana. The crop naturally captures atmospheric nitrogen, enriching the soil for successive cultivation. Zero synthetic polish, zero color agents — just honest dal with full nutritional integrity.
