Premium Urad Dal Split – A Nutrient-Rich South Asian Pulse

Urad Dal Split, also known as Split Black Gram, is one of the most widely consumed pulses in India and South Asia. This legume is deeply integrated into traditional cuisines, offering a rich source of nutrition along with excellent culinary versatility.

From creamy dals to fluffy idlis, and from crispy vadas to flavorful tempering—Urad Dal Split plays a vital role in enhancing the taste and texture of numerous Indian dishes.


🌾 Cultivation Region: South Asia

Urad Dal (Vigna mungo) is mainly cultivated in the tropical and subtropical regions of India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Nepal, with India being the largest producer and consumer.

It is typically sown during Kharif (monsoon) and sometimes during the Rabi (winter) season, depending on regional climatic conditions. The crop thrives in well-drained black or red soil and requires moderate rainfall and temperatures ranging from 25°C to 35°C. The plant matures in 70–90 days, making it a short-duration crop ideal for crop rotation.

🧪 Nutritional Profile & Health Benefits

Urad Dal is a nutrient-dense food with significant health benefits. A 100g serving typically provides:

  • Dietary fiber – supports digestion and weight loss
  • Low glycemic index – helps regulate blood sugar
  • Iron, calcium, magnesium, and B vitamins
  • Antioxidants – improve liver, heart, and kidney function
