Mung Dal is the whole split mung bean, including the husks. It is cooked and eaten in the same manner as any other lentils. Full of wholesome protein and fibre. In Indian Cuisine, both the whole lentils and the split ones are used. The husks are removed, which is why you see the yellow colour of the beans.
