Black Gram
Black gram, also known as urad dal, is a highly nutritious legume widely used in South Asian cuisine. With its rich, earthy flavor and creamy texture when cooked, black gram is a key ingredient in dishes like dals, dosas, idlis, and soups. It is an excellent source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, iron, and essential minerals, making it beneficial for muscle health, digestion, and energy levels. Often used whole or split, with or without skin, black gram adds depth and nutrition to meals. Its high protein content makes it ideal for vegetarian and vegan diets, supporting a balanced and wholesome lifestyle.
