Good quality delicious split mung dal.
I always use this when making kichari which I love- thanks Banyan!
Great communication, excellent timing and good quality. Worth the higher price.
It’s hard to find yellow moong dal so I’m happy to be able to get it from Banyan. It makes the best Kitchari!
I am absolutely in love with Yellow Mung Dal to make Kitchari. I have a system of taking a 1/4 cup in a glass jar and covering it with water and storing it in the frig before going to bed. It's ready to create a perfect amount of Kitchari for 2 the next day. LOVE IT!
Delicious. Warming. Satisfying. I love the stew-like texture.
I use them about twice a month to make my kithari.
I love this product. Where I live it is a challenge to find organic yellow mung dahl. It is important to me to eat organic and especially if I am doing a kichadi cleanse. I tell everyone that this is the place to find organic ymd!
Great product, makes delicious kitchari. Will purchase again.
Awesome!
First- the product itself is amazing!! Love the quality BUT I purchased two five pound bags and one of my bags was ripped so some fell out
Thanks for your review Andrea, and we're so sorry about the leaky hole! We have reached out via email to arrange a solution to this issue, so keep an eye on your inbox!
I cannot find this product at any of my local stores so have been purchasing it from Banyan Botanicals for the past couple of years and have been consistently satisfied with the yellow mung dal.
I recently did my first cleanse and could not easily find yellow mung dal . Banyan's dal is fresh and , along with their kitchari spice mix, made my first cleanse very easy to prepare and extremely deliciious. I do recommend soaking the dal as suggested on the package. It made the assembly process much faster , with fully cooked mung beans
Can’t find the quality anywhere else
Great value to dollar
The yellow mung bean is just delicious and I use it to make mung dal and kitchari along with Banyan's Basmati rice. A winning combination!
Love to do a Kitchari cleanse with these
They are really great and have a few regular whole green beans in there. I missed getting the whole 5lb bad on the spring sale! Next time!
Great product—you can tell it’s high-quality!
So pure and delicious!
Love using these in my instapot kitchari! My favorite brand
I prefer this with quinoa rather than rice. I have a variety of curry spices that I use. I crave it if I don't have it for day or two, and I can feel it is healthy.
Highest quality split yellow mung dal I’ve come across! This is the only mung dal we order, 10/10.
Just made my first Kitchari and it was wonderful.. can think of other wonder uses for yellow mung dai... great with other vegetables too!!!!
I love this mung bean. What more can be said?
Banyan has great, high quality products
I buy these often. I like that I can digest them, they’re organic, and Banyan has excellent customer service.
I can honestly say mung bean soup with a little rice might be my favorite meal! The name doesn’t sound great but they are delicious!
I enjoy eating Banyon Botanical mung beans. They are easy to make and delicious - even plain with ghee.
This is the only place I have ever found Yellow Mung Dal, so I have not tried any other, but this seemed high quality and cooked up great in my Kitchari!
Excellent quality you can actually taste :) Thank you!
This is not easily available.My Kitchari is finally perfection.
Excellent quality.
I love the texture and flavor of these beans, especially when making kitcheri. If you also purchase the spice mix for making kitcheri, I would recommend adding more than 1 TB of the spice mix, but less than 3 TB when following the recipe: 1/2 cup of Mung Dal, soaked, 1 c. white rice, rinsed + 6 cups of water. 1 TB of spice mix is a little too bland, but 3 TB is much too salty. Enjoy w/ Cilantro Chutney; YUM!
