how much protein in 50 gm moong dal - #25129
I am really curious about my diet lately. I started trying to eat more healthy foods and was looking into plant-based proteins. Yesterday, I cooked some moong dal for the first time since I heard it’s packed with nutrients and really good for you. Now I got this bag of moong dal and I wanna know how much protein in 50 gm moong dal? I made about 100 gm thinking that it would be enough for me, but now I'm wondering if I should have made more. I always thought legumes had good amounts of protein, but I feel like some people say it varies a lot. Like, how much protein in 50 gm moong dal really? I feel like I've read not just on websites but friends say different things about it, some say it's 9 grams and others say more! I've even heard someone mention that soaking the dal could increase the protein content. Is that true? So confusing! How much protein in 50 gm moong dal? Why is there so much variation out there? I’m trying to keep track of my protein intake, already feels overwhelming.. Any idea or insights would help!
