Composition
100% whole, dried black gram (maash), with no additives or processing aids. The product includes the intact, nutrient-rich black seed coat, which is responsible for its characteristic color and a significant portion of its dietary fiber.
Calories & Nutrition
Per 40-gram uncooked serving (approx. ¼ cup): approximately 140 calories. It is an outstanding source of plant-based protein (approx. 10 grams), complex carbohydrates, and dietary fiber. It is exceptionally rich in iron, potassium, and folate, contributing to energy metabolism and overall vitality.
Digestion Process
Despite being a legume, black mash is known for being easier to digest than many other pulses, especially when prepared traditionally with spices like ginger and cumin. Its high fiber and protein content ensure a low glycemic index, promoting slow digestion, stable energy release, and significant satiety.
Cooking Method
Requires prolonged soaking (8-12 hours or overnight) to reduce cooking time significantly. After soaking, it is typically boiled in water (ratio ~1:4) for 60-90 minutes until completely tender and beginning to break down. It forms the base for iconic dishes like Maash ki Dal, Kashmiri Maash, and is a key ingredient in Haleem, where its starch provides essential thickness.
