What is Black Gram?
Black Gram (Vigna mungo), known in India as Urad Dal, is one of South Asia's most important pulses — a high-protein legume central to staple dishes such as dal makhani, idli, dosa and papad. The small black-skinned bean reveals a creamy white interior when split (urad dal) or skinned (dhuli urad). India is the world's largest producer and consumer of black gram, cultivating it across Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu as both a Kharif and Rabi crop.
Black gram carries 24-26% protein and is rich in fibre, iron and folate, making it a cornerstone of vegetarian nutrition and an increasingly valued ingredient in the global plant-based protein movement. It trades in three principal forms — whole (sabut), split with skin (chilka), and skinned/split (dhuli) — each serving different culinary and processing needs across diaspora and Western health-food markets.
