Green Moong Dal: The Silent Superhero Food

In the world of wholesome foods, Green Moong Dal (whole green gram) is often underestimated — until you realise just how much this tiny green legume has to offer. Not only is it a staple in healthy kitchens across India, but it’s also the star ingredient in our Roasted Moong Jor from The Roasted Alternative — where traditional wisdom meets today’s mindful snacking.

A Nutritional Powerhouse In Every Bite
Did you know, green moong dal simply bursts with nutrients. It’s rich in plant-based protein, making it ideal for vegetarians and anyone trying to cut down on meat without compromising nutrition. It’s also packed with dietary fiber, supporting better digestion and keeping you fuller for longer.

With essential minerals like iron, magnesium, potassium, and folate, plus a dose of B-complex vitamins, green moong dal helps improve energy levels, supports immunity, and promotes heart health.

It’s the kind of food that works quietly in the background — and in our Roasted Moong Jor avatar, it does so while being delightfully crunchy and satisfying too!

Light On The Stomach, Big On Benefits
One of green moong dal’s most underrated strengths is how easy it is to digest. It’s often the first dal served to babies and those recovering from illness, and for good reason — it’s light, soothing, and nourishing.

This same quality makes Moong Jor from The Roasted Alternative a rare find: a snack that tastes indulgent, but actually feels great on your gut.

Perfect For Sugar Control And Weight Wellness
Thanks to its low glycemic index, green moong dal helps regulate blood sugar levels — a huge plus for diabetics or anyone looking to avoid sugar spikes and crashes. And because it’s high in both protein and fiber, it promotes satiety and helps curb unhealthy cravings.

Moong Jor, in its roasted avatar, makes it easy to enjoy all these benefits without compromising on taste — no frying, no guilt, just pure crunch and nourishment.

Deliciously Versatile
You would no doubt recognize green moong dal in a variety of dishes: from soothing khichdis to spicy curries and fresh salads, and now as our Roasted Moong Jor, it becomes a perfect companion to your evening chai, a post-gym bite, or even a mid-meeting pick-me-up.

A sprinkle of chaat masala, a squeeze of lemon, or just straight out of the pack — Moong Jor lets this traditional ingredient keep up with your modern lifestyle.

Green moong dal isn’t just an ingredient — it’s a wellness warrior in your kitchen. And with Moong Jor from The Roasted Alternative, this humble legume gets the crunchy, flavourful upgrade it deserves.

Because when it comes to flavour and wellness — you shouldn’t have to choose.
