Pigeon Peas

Pigeon Peas (also known as Toor Dal or Arhar Dal) are small, round legumes with a beige or pale yellow color. They have a mildly nutty flavor and a firm texture that softens upon cooking. Widely used in Indian, Caribbean, and African cuisines, pigeon peas are a staple ingredient in dals, stews, soups, and rice dishes. Rich in protein, fiber, and essential nutrients, they provide a nutritious, hearty base for wholesome meals and are valued for their versatility and quick cooking time.
