Frequently Asked Questions

Why does masoor dal turn yellow when cooked? The reddish-orange color of raw masoor dal comes from the outer layer of the split lentil. It naturally turns golden-yellow when heated, which is normal.

Can I use masoor dal for Egyptian red lentil soup? Yes — masoor dal is identical to the red lentils used in classic Middle Eastern lentil soups. Season with cumin, lemon and olive oil.

Is 3.5 lb of masoor dal a good value? The family size offers a lower cost per serving and reduces shopping frequency for a lentil you'll use multiple times a week.
