Our take
CleanPlate reviewToor dal: 22 g protein, 15.8 g fibre
Bhagyalakshmi Toor Dal is a 1 kg pack of split pigeon peas. The pack prints no ingredient list, so it is scored as a single ingredient. The panel is approximate, printed per 100 g with a 25 g serve column.
CleanPlate scores it CA1. The C for nutrition is middling: 22.4 g protein and 15.8 g fibre per 100 g. The A for ingredients reflects whole or lightly processed ingredients (led by toor dal), and almost no additives. The 1 for risk is low: sodium, free sugar and saturated fat are all modest (sodium 2.26 mg, free sugar 0 g, saturated fat 0.59 g per 100 g).
