Botanical Name: Vigna radiata
A staple across India and revered in Ayurveda for its lightness and ease of digestion, mung dal is one of the most versatile and nourishing lentils in everyday cooking. With its delicate, nutty flavour and creamy texture when cooked, it forms the foundation of countless dals, soups, stews and kitchari preparations enjoyed for centuries.
Spice Zen’s Certified Organic Dehulled Mung Lentils are made from premium-quality mung beans that have been carefully hulled and split for fast cooking and a clean, soothing profile. Sourced from certified organic farms in India and cleaned to high purity standards, these golden lentils are free from skins, making them ideal for those who seek gentle, wholesome meals with minimal preparation time.
Whether simmered into a comforting dal, cooked into a fragrant kitchari or added to broths, curries and stews, this mung dal offers a beautifully soft, velvety finish and a naturally mild, nutty taste.
