There is a reason urad dal shows up in almost every Indian kitchen, from the dal makhani simmering on a Sunday afternoon to the idli batter soaking overnight, to the medu vada your kids will eat before anything else on the plate. It has always been there. We just made sure the one you are cooking with is actually clean. Most urad dal on the market, even the ones that look fine, carries pesticide residues that don't wash off or cook away. They get absorbed into the grain during growth. The only way around that is choosing dal that was never grown with them in the first place. Ours is unpolished, farm-traced, and certified by IMO Control, India Organic (NPOP), and Jaivik Bharat. Same dal your family has always loved, finally grown the way it always should have been.
