Split Toor Dal

Split Toor Dal is a staple legume in South Asian cooking, commonly used in dals, soups and stews and known for its earthy flavor and quick cooking when split. It appears across Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi cuisines and is prized for its versatility in both everyday meals and festive dishes. Nutritionally, Split Toor Dal is a concentrated plant protein source, providing about 21.7g of protein per 100 g, and it also contributes meaningful dietary fiber and B-vitamins (notably folate) along with minerals like copper and manganese. Its low fat content makes it a lean way to add protein and bulk to meals. From a health standpoint, split pigeon peas are an excellent plant-based protein with good protein quality and digestive fiber that supports fullness and steady energy; they fit well into heart-healthy and vegetarian diets and pair nicely with grains to make a complete amino acid profile.
