Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between whole moong and moong dal?
Whole moong (green gram) is the unprocessed whole bean. Moong dal refers to the split version — either with skin (green & yellow) or without skin (yellow only). Yellow split moong is the most commonly used for everyday cooking.
Is moong dal good for babies?
Yes — yellow split moong dal is one of the most recommended first foods for babies. It is easy to digest, mild in flavour and highly nutritious.
How do I sprout moong?
Soak whole green moong overnight, drain and keep in a damp cloth or sprouting jar for 2–3 days, rinsing twice daily. Sprouts are ready when the tails are 1–2cm long.
