"The difference between shiny market dals and farm-fresh pulses."
Polished pulses undergo treatments with oil, water, or leather to look shiny, which strips away essential surface nutrients.
Unpolished dals retain their natural fiber, which helps in better digestion and a steadier release of energy.
They offer a more authentic, earthy flavor and tend to hold their shape better when cooked, avoiding the mushiness of processed dals.
