Incorporate a nutritional powerhouse into your menu with Quality Moong Dal Washed. Distributed by ChickenPieces.com from our Calgary logistics hub, this 4.989 kg (11 lbs) bulk bag is the definitive choice for high-volume foodservice and health-conscious kitchens across Canada. Moong Dal Washed (Split Yellow Mung Beans) is prized for its soft, velvety texture once cooked and its ability to absorb a wide array of spices. Because the skin has been removed, these lentils cook significantly faster than whole beans and are exceptionally easy on the digestive system, making them a staple in traditional Ayurvedic cooking and a favorite for light, protein-rich meals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to soak Moong Dal Washed?
Soaking is not strictly necessary for this dal, but a quick 15–30 minute soak will further reduce cooking time and ensure an even creamier texture.
Is this the same as Yellow Split Peas?
No. While they look similar, Moong Dal is smaller, cooks faster, and has a milder, nuttier flavor compared to the earthier taste of yellow split peas.
Is this product gluten-free?
Yes, Moong Dal is naturally gluten-free. However, as with all bulk agricultural products, we recommend a quick visual scan and rinse before cooking.
How much water should I use?
For a standard dal consistency, use a ratio of 3 cups of water to 1 cup of dry dal. For a thicker "porridge" or khichdi, you can increase the water slightly.
What is the shelf life?
Dried lentils are highly shelf-stable and will maintain their peak quality for 12–18 months when kept in a cool, dry environment.
