What to know about 24 Mantra Organic Moong Dal
Plain dal: 24 g protein, 9 g fibre, nothing added
24 Mantra Organic Moong Dal (Dhuli) is a 500 g pack of split, husked green gram, sold dry. The ingredient list is one line, Organic Moong Dal, so no percentage is printed because the dal is the whole product. The pack says it is produced and processed to NPOP and USDA-NOP standards.
Per 100 g of dry dal the panel gives 325 kcal, 24 g protein, 9 g fibre, 1 g fat (0.2 g saturated), 1 g total sugar, no added sugar and 10 mg sodium. The printed serve is 35 g, a quarter cup, which works out to about 114 kcal, 8.4 g protein and 3.2 g fibre. A pack holds 14 servings.
The name promises organic dal and the list is exactly that. The listing adds claims about calcium, potassium and vitamin B, which the nutrition panel does not back up with any figures. CleanPlate scores it CA2.
Why 24 Mantra Organic Moong Dal scores CA2
Nutrition is a C: 24 g protein and 9 g fibre per 100 g, but no vitamins or minerals are declared. Ingredients are an A for one organic ingredient. Risk is a 2, driven only by 325 kcal energy.
Adequate nutrient density
- Protein
- 24 g
- Fibre
- 9 g
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 325 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why C
Protein is 24 g per 100 g, about 30% of the calories, and fibre is 9 g per 100 g. In a 35 g serve that is about 8 g protein and 3 g fibre. Protein from a legume is credited at a reduced weight, which holds the grade at a C.
No vitamins or minerals are declared on the panel, so there is no bonus above the protein and fibre.
Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

02 Ingredient integrity: why A
The list is one ingredient, Organic Moong Dal. There are no additives, no flavourings, no added fat and no sweetener, so nothing costs ingredient points.

03 Load risk: why 2
Energy is the only part that registers: 325 kcal per 100 g of dry dal sets the risk at a 2. A 35 g serve is about 114 kcal.
Sodium is 10 mg, saturated fat 0.2 g and trans fat 0 g per 100 g, and added sugar is 0 g, so none of them add to the risk.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Does 24 Mantra Organic Moong Dal live up to its claims?
