Black gram, also known as chilki urad dahl, is a pulse. The figures here describe dried, split black gram that has been soaked and boiled in unsalted water. It mainly provides carbohydrate and protein, with 14g of carbohydrate and 8g of protein per 100g. It also contains 0.4g of fat and 2mg of iron per 100g.

Carbohydrate provides energy, while protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues. Iron is needed to make haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. The salt content shown is for cooking without added salt; adding salt, stock or sauces can change this. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
