Rustic Protein Power
Unpolished Chana Dal (चनाको दाल)
Split from the hard kernels of native mountain Bengal gram, our Chana Dal represents whole, uncompromised nutrition. Most industrial lentils are subjected to mechanical polishing with water, oil, or marble powder to make them gleam on supermarket shelves—a process that strips the outer nutrient-dense aleurone layer.
Our Chana Dal is 100% unpolished, raw, and naturally sun-cured. It cooks into a rich, golden stew with a distinctive, sweet-nutty flavor and an exceptionally low glycemic response.
