Haldiram Moong Dal — TREAT

Munch or Dump rates Haldiram Moong Dal by Haldiram TREAT — score 45/90.

Just fried split moong dal, oil, and salt — a simple three-ingredient snack, but it's deep-fried, so it's fat-heavy and salty. Fine as an occasional crunchy treat, not an everyday health food.

Why this verdict

• Deep-fried in refined cottonseed oil — around 21g fat per 100g
• Salty and calorie-dense; not an everyday snack
• Simple, clean 3-ingredient list with no additives or flavor enhancers
• Lentil base does deliver real protein and fiber

Ingredients (3)

• Split Moong Dal (77%) (safe) — Whole split mung bean — genuine protein and fiber, the one nutritious thing here.
• Refined Cottonseed Oil (moderate) — Deep-frying medium; refined and high in omega-6, drives fat and calories way up.
• Iodized Salt (moderate) — Adds sodium; iodization is a minor benefit.
