What’s actually in it

first on the label · Unpolished moong dal (100%), full list read.

✓clean short listAn ingredient list you can read aloud without pausing. Rarer than it should be.
FSSAI: 24 g/100 g · 6.9 g/100 kcal, may legally print “HIGH PROTEIN” via the per-100 g + per-100 kcal route. 24% protein on the label, but at a 0.70 amino score, only ~17 g of every 24 g is usable. Pair it with rice and the two cover each other’s gaps. Grandma knew.
