Traditional and food context
Kulthi is a long-used regional Indian pulse. This listing does not attribute a newly written Sanskrit verse to a classical Ayurvedic text.
How Kulthi Dal Is Used
Kulthi is commonly cooked as dal, soup or other pulse-based preparations. Soaking before cooking can help reduce cooking time. It has also been traditionally used in food-based Ayurvedic routines, but such traditional use should not be interpreted as treatment for any medical condition.
Why Choose the Whole Pulse?
The whole pulse gives customers flexibility to soak, pressure-cook, roast or prepare it according to regional recipes. This listing is for the natural pulse, not an extract, capsule or medicinal formulation.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container. Keep away from moisture and direct sunlight.
