Product description
Sathva Dals are chemical and preservatives free. Red soiled dal is dal, dehusked using traditional method. It is in dull yellow colour. Red soil is prepared and the dals are mixed with the soil with addition of little water. It is then dried under the sun for the red soil to absorb sunlight. After a period of time, the hardened red soil with the dal is broken to dehusk the dal.
This practice is often done to enhance the preservation and storage of the dal, as well as to improve its taste and texture. The process of mixing toor dal with red soil and sun-drying it is a traditional method that has been used for generations.
Red soiled toor dal has a very nice taste and aroma compared to the normal toor dal. It has earthy taste and leaves you with a very satisfying palette. Dishes such as sambar turns out exceptional with this dal especially when ghee is added to it.
Looking deeper into the reason of using this method to dehusk the dal, goes beyond than just the taste and aroma. This method enriches the dal. Absorption of the sunlight by the red soil (contains natural microorganisms) increases the nutrients in the soil and absorbed by the dal. In addition this method is very eco-friendly as it generates zero waste (the husks are used back as fertilizer) and no chemical usage to polish it.
