What to know about 24 Mantra Organic Tur / Arhar Dal

One-ingredient dal with 22 g protein per 100 g

A 500 g pack of dried tur (arhar) dal with a single ingredient on the label: organic tur dal. It is the everyday split pulse behind dal, sambar and khichdi, and the pack carries organic logos for buyers who want it grown to organic standards.

Per 100 g of dry dal you get 330 kcal, 22 g protein, 9 g fibre, 64 g carbohydrate and 1 g fat. Sugars are 2 g, added sugar is 0 g, saturated fat is 0.2 g and sodium is 18 mg. The pack's serve is 35 g, about a quarter cup, which gives 115 kcal, 8 g protein and 3 g fibre, and the pack holds 14 servings.

The name says organic tur dal and that is all the list holds. The front also says it is gluten free by its nature, which is true of a plain pulse. CleanPlate scores it CA2.

Why 24 Mantra Organic Tur / Arhar Dal scores CA2

Nutrition is a C on 22 g protein and 9 g fibre per 100 g, with no vitamins or minerals declared. Ingredients are an A for a single organic dal, and risk is a 2, set by energy alone.

01 Nutrition density: why C

Protein is 22 g per 100 g and fibre is 9 g, and the dal is the only source of both. In one 35 g serve that is 8 g protein and 3 g fibre for 115 kcal.

No vitamins or minerals are declared, so the grade rests on protein and fibre alone. That is what keeps it at a C rather than higher.

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

There is one ingredient, organic tur dal, with no additives, no refined fat, no sweetener and no flavouring. Nothing costs ingredient points.

The claims on the pack match the list, so there is no hollow label promise. This is the top ingredient grade.

Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

03 Load risk: why 2

Energy sets the risk number: 330 kcal per 100 g of dry dal. That is a feature of any dried pulse, since cooking adds water and spreads the same calories over a larger bowl.

Everything else is close to nil. Sodium is 18 mg per 100 g, saturated fat 0.2 g, trans fat 0 g and added sugar 0 g.

Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Does 24 Mantra Organic Tur / Arhar Dal live up to its claims?

  • On the pack

    Holds

  • On the pack

    “No synthetic pesticides or fertilizers used”

    Be careful

    This describes farming practice, which the ingredient list and nutrition panel cannot show. The pack says it is produced to NPOP and USDA-NOP standards.

Pressure-cook 35 g of dry dal per person for 8 g protein, then temper with a little oil and spices, since the dal itself has only 1 g fat per 100 g.

Sambar

Cook the dal with vegetables and tamarind, so the 3 g fibre per serve from the dal is joined by the fibre from the vegetables.
