FAQs

Do I have to soak football masoor? No long soak is needed; a quick rinse is enough, though 15 to 20 minutes shortens cooking.

How is this different from regular masoor dal? This is the whole, skin-on bean, while masoor dal is split and skinned, cooking softer and faster.

Will it turn mushy? Whole masoor holds its shape better than split, making it great for textured dals and salads.

Packaged in a facility that also processes tree nuts, peanuts, sesame, soy and wheat. Rinse before cooking.
