Product Description

Split Green Moong Dal is the form of whole green moong after splitting along the length but still retaining the green skin. Hence, it is also called Chilka Moong Dal (Dal with Skin). This dal has a more earthy flavour and contains more fibre than that of the fully stripped yellow moong dal. Prakritii Organics guarantees that our Split Green Moong Dal is completely organic and grown without the use of any harmful pesticides or chemical fertilisers. This makes it a healthy and safe option for your daily meals.

Besides being a good source of fibre, it has a stronger flavour compared to the yellow counterpart. It's a perfect combination of easy-to-cook lentils and the nutritional intensity of whole grain pulses. In most Indian households, it is used for moong dal tadka, dal khichdi, cheela (savoury pancakes), and regular dal preparations.

Tips to Store Organic Split Green Moong Dal

Store it in an airtight glass or food-grade container in a cool, dry, dark place away from moisture and direct sunlight.
Avoid storing near strong-smelling ingredients because lentils absorb odours easily and get flavoured with the surrounding smells when containers are left open or loosely sealed.
Soaking for 30 minutes before cooking is good as it reduces cooking time and increases digestibility, although it is not a must.

Benefits of Organic Split Green Moong Dal

Loads of plant protein, fibre, iron, folate, and B-complex vitamins are present in this dal.
This dal contains more fibre than the yellow moong dal, as the green outer skin is still present.
No harmful pesticides and chemical agents are present in the dal as it is completely free from such substances.

Split Green Moong Dal, or Chilka Moong Dal, is in a fascinating nutritional spot within the whole moong family: it is higher in fibre and tastier than the regular yellow moong dal because it still has the green skin, but at the same time, it is more convenient and quicker to cook than the whole green moong as it has been split.
The final product is a lentil that combines both the deep, strong flavour and the extra fibre of the green skin, along with the cooking simplicity of a split dal that does not require overnight soaking and can be cooked in a matter of minutes.
Prakritii Organics obtains our Split Green Moong Dal from certified chemical-free farms in Maharashtra. These are farms where synthetic pesticides are not used, and processing is done without artificial additives.
The chilka moong is the most realistic and genuinely nourishing solution for families who want to add extra nutrition to their dal, but without the lengthy preparations of whole pulses.

Health Benefits & Nutrition

Organic split green moong dal is nutritionally distinct from both whole green moong and yellow moong dal (which is fully hulled). This is because it still has the green outer layer, which contains extra fibre, chlorophyll, and antioxidant compounds, yet has been split for quicker and easier cooking than whole moong beans. The green skin contains a significant amount of insoluble fibre that helps with digestive regularity, supports a healthy bowel function, and nourishes the good gut bacteria more efficiently than the skinless yellow variety thus it is a better choice for daily gut health without giving up on the cooking aspect. It is also quite rich in plant-based protein, containing around 24 grams per 100 grams of dry dal, and is a source of folate, iron, magnesium, zinc, potassium, and B-vitamins including riboflavin and thiamine which are responsible for energy metabolism, nerve function, and blood health.

How to Use & Storage

Before cooking, you may soak split green moong dal for 30 minutes to get a nicer texture and to make it more digestible. Then close with a pressure cooker and cook at medium heat for 3 whistles until the dal is very soft. Alternatively, you can cook in a pot on the hob for 15 20 minutes with a lid, making sure there is sufficient water. It can be used to make delicious green moong tadka dal, in which the boiling tempering of onion, garlic and whole spices is very thick.
Or if you have developed moong dal cheela, they are protein-rich, crispy savoury pancakes that are cooked within minutes and serve an excellent high-nutrition breakfast or light meal.
Keep in an airtight glass or food-grade container in a cool, dry, dark place away from moisture. Make sure the container is completely dry before sealing in order to prevent clumps, and use within 12 months of purchase for the best flavour and cooking quality.

What is the difference between split green moong dal and yellow moong dal?

Split green moong dal retains its green outer skin after splitting, giving it a higher fibre content, an earthier and more robust flavour, and a slightly denser texture when cooked compared to fully hulled yellow moong dal. Yellow moong dal has had both the green skin removed and the bean split, producing a lighter, milder lentil that cooks faster and is easier to digest - making the two varieties nutritionally similar but culinarily and texturally distinct.

Does split green moong dal need to be soaked before cooking?

Soaking split green moong dal for 30 minutes before cooking is recommended as it reduces cooking time and improves digestibility by partially breaking down the outer skin. It is not strictly required - unsoaked split green moong cooks in approximately 3–4 pressure cooker whistles - but a short soak produces a better textured, more evenly cooked dal with a slightly milder flavour.

Is split green moong dal good for digestion?

Yes - split green moong dal is considered easier to digest than whole green moong because the splitting process partially opens the bean, while the retained green skin provides insoluble fibre that supports healthy bowel function and gut motility. It is gentle enough for regular daily consumption for most people, including those who find heavier lentils like chana dal or whole rajma more difficult to digest comfortably.

What is the nutritional value of organic split green moong dal?

Organic split green moong dal provides approximately 24 grams of plant-based protein per 100 grams of dry dal, along with dietary fibre, folate, iron, magnesium, zinc, potassium, and B-vitamins. Its green skin contributes additional fibre and antioxidant compounds compared to fully hulled yellow moong - making it a more nutritionally complete everyday lentil choice for families prioritising gut health and plant-based protein.
