Haldiram's Moong Dal — TREAT

Name: Haldiram's Moong Dal
Brand: Haldiram's

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

Just split moong dal deep-fried in refined cotton seed oil and salted. Clean, honest ingredient list, but it's a fried, oily, salty snack, not a health food.

Why this verdict

Deep-fried in refined cotton seed oil, so it's oil-heavy and calorie-dense
Salted savory snack, meaningful sodium per handful
But a clean, honest 3-ingredient list with no artificial additives, sugar, or emulsifiers
Whole-food base (moong dal) brings real protein and fiber

Ingredients (3)

Split Moong Dal (Moong) 77% (safe) — Split mung bean, a whole-food pulse that delivers plant protein and fiber. The genuinely good part of this snack.
Refined Cotton Seed Oil (moderate) — Refined frying oil high in omega-6; deep-frying makes this snack very calorie-dense.
Salt (moderate) — Used in moderation, might exceed necessary amount.
