Moong Dal

The Moong Dal snack by Amnaya Agro Foods is a highly popular, classic Indian savory snack (Namkeen). It is made from split green gram that has been de-husked, fried to a light crisp, and lightly salted.

Flavor Profile & Texture

• The Taste: Clean, savory, and mildly nutty with a controlled, uniform saltiness. Unlike many other Indian namkeens, it contains no heavy spices or chili, making it a universally mild snack.
• The Texture: Exceptionally light, brittle, and crispy. The split lentils are processed to retain their distinct shape without becoming overly hard or tough to chew.

Ingredients Checklist

This snack utilizes a highly minimalist ingredient profile:

• Base: Split Green Gram (Moong Dal).
• Frying Medium: Refined edible vegetable oils (commonly Palmolein, Cottonseed, or Rice Bran oil).
• Seasoning: Iodized Salt.
• Dietary Markers: It is a 100% Vegetarian product (indicated by the green dot on the packaging). It naturally does not contain dairy, nuts, or gluten, though it is processed in facilities that handle other agricultural goods.

Average Nutritional Assessment (Per 100g)

Because it is lentil-based, Moong Dal generally offers a higher protein content than potato- or starch-based snacks, though it remains energy-dense due to the frying process.
