Urad Dal Whole Skinned (500 G)

🌿 Goodness Farm’s Whole Black-Skinned Sprout-Activated Urad Dal (Dehydrated)

A powerhouse of protein and tradition, this whole black urad dal has been thoughtfully processed using Goodness Farm’s unique sprout-activation and dehydration method, ensuring enhanced nutrition, easier digestion, and a naturally long shelf life — without the need for additives or preservatives.

🌱 What makes it special?

• Whole black urad with skin retained
  The nutrient-rich black skin is preserved, offering higher fiber and antioxidants compared to split white urad dal.
• Sprout activation before dehydration
  The whole urad is soaked, naturally sprouted, and then gently dehydrated. Sprouting reduces antinutrients (like phytic acid and oligosaccharides), boosts B-vitamin content, and enhances the availability of minerals like iron and calcium.
• Low-temperature dehydration
  After sprouting, the dal is dehydrated at controlled low temperatures to lock in its nutritional integrity and naturally improve shelf stability — without any chemical preservatives.
• Traditional wisdom, modern hygiene
  Goodness Farm integrates age-old soaking and sprouting methods with modern food safety practices, ensuring every batch is clean, safe, and full of life.

🍃 Nutritional and Health Benefits

1. Improved digestibility – Sprouting activates enzymes that break down complex carbs and proteins, making it gut-friendly and reducing bloating — especially important for urad dal which is otherwise heavy.
2. Rich in plant-based iron, calcium & folate – Especially valuable for women, growing children, and anyone with iron deficiency.
3. High fiber & protein – The skin adds roughage, and the dal provides slow-release plant protein, supporting gut health and stable energy.
4. Natural probiotic potential – Ideal for fermentation-based recipes like dosa, idli, and dhokla batter, enhancing gut microbiome health.

🍲 Cooking & Usage

• No pre-soaking required: Just rinse and cook directly. The sprout-activated dal cooks faster and with better texture than regular whole urad.
• Perfect for:
  • Idli/dosa batter (improves fermentation and texture)
  • Traditional dal preparations like "Karuppu Ulundhu Kali" or "Whole Urad Dal Curry"
