Hari moong daal, also known as green gram or mung bean, is a small, green legume commonly used in various cuisines around the world, particularly in South Asian cooking. It is highly versatile and can be used in soups, salads, and stir-fries, or simply cooked and seasoned as a side dish. The dal, or split version of the whole moong bean, is especially popular for making dishes like moong dal khichdi and moong dal curry. Its mild flavor and quick cooking time make it a staple in many households.

Referred to as the "queen of pulses," hari moong daal earns this title due to its exceptional nutritional profile and numerous health benefits. It is rich in protein, dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals such as iron, magnesium, and potassium. These nutrients contribute to various health benefits, including improved digestion, enhanced immunity, and better heart health. Additionally, it is low in calories and fat, making it an excellent choice for weight management. Most people can consume moong daal, including those with dietary restrictions, as it is gluten-free and easy to digest. However, individuals with specific allergies or medical conditions should consult with a healthcare provider before making it a regular part of their diet.
