Banyan Botanicals Organic Yellow Mung Dal – Gut-Friendly Plant-Based Protein – Premium Split Mung Beans for Kitchari, Easy Digestion & Metabolic Purity – 2 lb. – USDA Organic

• BIOAVAILABLE PLANT-BASED PROTEIN Fuel your body with a clean, efficient protein source. Yellow Mung Dal is an excellent source of plant-based protein for vegans, vegetarians, and omnivores alike. Unlike many legumes, these split beans provide the essential amino acids needed for muscle maintenance and systemic vitality without the heavy "after-meal" feeling.*
• THE ULTIMATE BLOAT-FREE LEGUME Support your digestive comfort. Known in Ayurveda as the easiest legume to digest, yellow mung dal has been hulled and split to remove the outer skin. This process significantly reduces complex fibers that often cause gas and bloating, making it the premier choice for those with sensitive systems or those seeking a gut-friendly protein.*
• FOUNDATION OF THE AYURVEDIC KITCHARI RESET Supercharge your internal cleansing. When cooked with basmati rice and warming spices, these beans create Kitchari—the traditional Ayurvedic meal for detoxification. This nourishing dish provides a complete protein profile while giving the digestive system a much-needed "metabolic reset," supporting internal purity and renewed energy.*
• VERSATILE & QUICK-COOKING VITALITY Streamline your nutrient-dense meal prep. Because they are split, these mung beans cook much faster than whole beans or lentils and do not require overnight soaking. Their delicate, creamy texture and mild flavor make them a versatile base for soups, stews, and side dishes that support overall physical well-being.*
• USDA ORGANIC & BANYAN GUARANTEE Quality is the core of nourishment. Our Yellow Mung Dal is USDA Certified Organic, Non-GMO, and Gluten-Free. As a B-Corp, we ensure every batch is sustainably sourced and fairly traded. If you are not satisfied with the purity and quality of our dal, we offer a full product refund.*

Preparation:

Wash rice and mung dal and soak overnight. Drain soak water.

In a medium saucepan warm the ghee. Add the Kitchari Spice Mix and saut© for one to two minutes. Add rice and mung beans and saut© for another couple of minutes. Then add 6 cups of water and bring to a boil. Once the kitchari has come to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and cook until it is tender (approx. 30-45 minutes). If you are adding vegetables to your kitchari, add the longer cooking vegetables, such as carrots and beets, halfway through the cooking. Add the vegetables that cook faster, such as leafy greens, near the end. Add more water if needed. Typically, kitchari is the consistency of a vegetable stew as opposed to a broth. Garnish with fresh cilantro and add salt to taste (optional).
