Description

 

Chana dal is a kitchen staple across Indian homes — it turns up in everyday dal tadka, a quick sabzi, festive puran poli, and even crisp dal vada. It cooks into a slightly nutty, hearty dal that pairs well with rice, roti or paratha, and holds its shape nicely in curries and snacks alike.

Better Nutrition Biofortified Chana Dal is made from specially selected seeds that are naturally higher in essential nutrients, grown in partnership with a network of over 20,000 farming communities trained in nutrient-focused, biofortified agriculture. It is an unpolished chana dal with up to 2X Zinc & Iron — tested at more than 62 ppm Zinc and more than 42 ppm Iron per batch, along with naturally occurring protein and fibre.

Each 100 g serving provides around 25 g of protein, meeting close to 42% of an adult's protein RDA, making it a good source of plant-based protein that helps build and repair body tissues and supports overall growth. The dal is also Non-GMO, naturally grown without synthetic pesticides, and is free from added colour, preservatives and synthetic polishing agents.

Zinc supports the immune system and normal cognitive function, while Iron contributes to energy production and helps reduce fatigue — two nutrients that many everyday Indian diets fall short on. Getting them from a staple you already cook every week, rather than from a supplement, is what makes biofortified dal genuinely useful.

A simple dal, grown a little differently—with better seeds and a focus on better nutrition.

TriNutrimaxx™️

Agronomic Biofortification is our farm-level technique for naturally increasing the nutritional value of crops by combining the right biofortified seed, nutrient-rich soil and precision agronomic practices through the crop cycle. Instead of adding nutrients after harvest, we work from the beginning of the farming process to help the plant access and retain higher levels of naturally occurring nutrients such as iron, zinc and protein. The approach integrates seed selection, soil and crop management, farmer protocols, and testing at harvest, creating a controlled seed-to-harvest nutrition system rather than relying on fortification at the food-processing stage!

 
Benefits

Up to 2X Zinc & Iron

Better Nutrition Biofortified Chana Dal is grown from specially selected seeds developed to provide higher levels of Zinc and Iron. Zinc supports the immune system and normal cognitive function, while Iron contributes to energy production and helps reduce fatigue. The pack specifies up to 2X Zinc & Iron, with tested levels of more than 62 ppm Zinc and more than 42 ppm Iron per batch.

Naturally High in Protein

Chana dal is naturally rich in plant-based protein. Better Nutrition Chana Dal provides approximately 25 g protein per 100 g — close to 42% of an adult's daily RDA — making it a useful addition to regular vegetarian meals. Protein helps build and repair body tissues and supports overall growth, especially for growing children and active adults.

A Good Source of Fibre

Chana dal naturally contains dietary fibre that supports healthy digestion and helps you feel fuller for longer, and can be included as part of a varied and balanced diet.

Unpolished Chana Dal

The dal is unpolished and minimally processed. It does not go through synthetic oil polishing and contains no added colour, so it retains more of the natural nutrients and fibre found in the seed coat.

Pesticide-Free & Naturally Grown

Better Nutrition Chana Dal is naturally grown without synthetic pesticides, as stated on the front of the pack — a cleaner, more natural everyday dal for your family.

Non-GMO

Better Nutrition Chana Dal is made from Non-GMO seeds, as mentioned on the product pack.

No Added Preservatives

The product contains no added preservatives or artificial colour, keeping the ingredient list simple—Chana Dal.

Storage Instructions

  • Store in a cool and dry place, away from direct sunlight, heat and moisture.
  • After opening, transfer the chana dal to a clean, airtight container.
  • Keep away from strong-smelling foods and spices.
  • Always use a clean, dry spoon when handling the dal.
  • Check for any unusual odour, moisture, discolouration or signs of infestation before use.
  • Pack contains an oxygen (O2) absorber sachet — this is not for consumption and should be discarded before cooking.
  • In hot and humid climates, storing the airtight container in a cool pantry helps the dal stay fresh for longer.
