Description
Authentic Whole Gahath Dal from Uttarakhand
Pahadi Gahath Dal, also known as Kulath Dal or Horse Gram, grows naturally in the pristine Himalayan regions of Uttarakhand. For generations, hill farmers have cultivated this traditional pulse using age-old farming practices. As a result, this native pahadi dal offers a rich taste, dense nutrition, and deep cultural importance in hill cuisine.
Unlike heavily processed market dals, Uttarakhand Gahath Dal remains hardy, unpolished, and close to its original grain form. Therefore, it becomes a preferred choice for traditional and wholesome cooking.
Moreover, farmers harvest the beans sustainably and process them minimally to retain their natural qualities. In this way, each pack preserves a balance of nature, tradition, and nourishment, sourced directly from the hilly regions of Uttarakhand.
