Safe Harvest Pesticide-Free Moong Dal Chilka (Split Green Gram) | Lab-Tested, Skin-On, High Protein

Safe Harvest moong dal chilka is sourced from small, marginalised farmers who practice chemical pesticide-free farming. These farmers are part of our nationwide network of over 1 lakh women farmers across India, all committed to growing without synthetic pesticides. Every farmer in this network follows the same chemical-free cultivation practices, and every batch they produce is independently tested before it reaches you. After harvest, the moong split passes through pesticide-free environments at every stage of handling, from cleaning and grading through to packaging, with no cross-contamination from conventionally grown produce at any point in the supply chain.

Dal crops are regularly treated with pesticides during cultivation, and dried pulses can concentrate residues that would not be present at the same levels in fresh produce. Most moong dal chilka brands make protein and antioxidant claims while testing for nothing before packing. Safe Harvest tests every batch of moong split in NABL-accredited third-party laboratories for 230+ synthetic pesticide residues before any pack ships. The report is not internal documentation. It is publicly accessible by batch number. Scan the QR code on your pack and read the exact results for your specific batch before you cook it.

The defining nutritional advantage of moong dal chilka over dhuli moong is its retained green outer skin, the layer that carries the majority of the grain's dietary fibre, polyphenol antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory compounds. When this skin is removed during polishing to produce dhuli moong, these nutrients go with it. Moong dal chilka keeps them intact.

The anti-inflammatory polyphenols concentrated in the chilka skin, including vitexin and isovitexin, reduce oxidative stress, support gut lining integrity, and have been studied for their role in managing chronic low-grade inflammation. Its rich antioxidant content supports immunity and cellular health with consistent everyday use.

Moong dal chilka is high in plant protein, supporting muscle repair, satiety, and sustained energy. Its naturally low carbohydrate profile makes it a macro-efficient everyday dal for those managing weight or blood sugar. Its high dietary fibre content supports healthy digestion, feeds beneficial gut bacteria, and maintains fullness through slow digestion. It is also a good source of magnesium, potassium, folate, and B vitamins that support heart, blood, and nerve health.

Every batch of Safe Harvest moong dal chilka is tested in NABL-accredited third-party laboratories for 230+ synthetic pesticide residues before any pack ships. No artificial colours.

Sourced from small, marginalised farmers who farm as part of our network of over 1 lakh women farmers across India, all committed to the same pesticide-free standard. Handled in pesticide-free facilities from harvest to packaging. The only moong dal chilka in India where you can independently verify quality before you open the pack.

Moong dal chilka does not require soaking and cooks in under 20 minutes. Rinse thoroughly in cold water before cooking. Its retained skin gives it a slightly more textured, earthier result than dhuli moong, which works particularly well in tadkas and thick dals.

For garlicky dal tadka: pressure cook with turmeric and salt for 2 to 3 whistles until soft but not fully broken down. Temper hot ghee with cumin, dried red chilli, and sliced garlic until golden and pour immediately over the dal. The chilka gives the tadka more body and a richer mouthfeel than dhuli moong.

For dal khichdi: cook moong split with rice in a one-to-one ratio with turmeric, ginger, and asafoetida for a nourishing, easy-to-digest one-pot meal with more fibre and texture than dhuli moong khichdi.

For moong dal chilla: blend soaked raw moong split with green chilli, ginger, and salt into a smooth batter. The green skin adds speckling, a more complex earthy flavour, and denser nutrition to the crepe. Cook on a hot tawa with oil and top with paneer and chutney.

For sambar: add cooked moong chilka as a lighter alternative to tur dal in sambar for a thinner, more digestible result with a cleaner flavour profile.
