Veda Prakreti Moong Dal with Skin (chilka moong) keeps the lentil's green husk intact, unlike split, dehusked moong dal a small difference that makes a real nutritional impact, since the husk is where a significant share of the lentil's dietary fibre is concentrated.

This higher-fibre profile makes chilka moong a popular choice for those looking to support digestion and feel fuller for longer, while its slightly earthier, nuttier flavour gives home-style dals and khichdi a heartier character than the milder split version. Beyond cooking it as dal, whole moong with skin is also a favourite for sprouting, since the husk protects the seed through the soaking and sprouting process, yielding crunchy, nutrient-dense sprouts for salads and snacks.

Naturally sun-dried and cleaned without polishing agents, it's a traditional, less-processed alternative to the more common skinless moong dal for those who prefer their lentils closer to how nature made them.
