Key Health Benefits
1. High Bioavailable Protein
Because the bean is split, the surface area is increased, making it easier for your digestive enzymes to access the protein. It contains significant amounts of lysine, an amino acid often missing in cereal grains, making it a perfect partner for rice or wheat.
2. Nervous System Support
Split urad dal is exceptionally high in Magnesium and Vitamin B-complex. These nutrients are vital for:
Strengthening the nervous system.
Improving memory and cognitive function.
Reducing "muscle "twitches" or cramps caused by mineral deficiencies.

4. Boosts Blood Circulation
