Moong Dal vs Masoor Dal vs Chickpeas: Nutritionist explains how to make the right choice for health benefits

Nutritionist Deepsikha Jain explains how different dals benefit the body in unique ways. Split moong dal is gentler on digestion and ideal for those with sensitive stomachs, while whole moong dal helps reduce inflammation and supports hormonal balance, making it suitable for people with PCOS. Chickpeas are rich in fibre, potassium, and magnesium, promoting heart health and weight management. Masoor dal, with its high fibre content, improves insulin sensitivity, making it a good choice for people with diabetes.
