Black gram, urad gram, whole, dried, raw

Black gram, also known as urad gram, is a pulse. The figures here describe the whole, dried, raw seeds rather than cooked black gram. It mainly provides carbohydrate and protein, with 41g of carbohydrate and 25g of protein per 100g. It also contains 1.4g of fat and 132µg of folate per 100g.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues, while folate is needed for normal cell division and the formation of red blood cells. Dried pulses absorb water during cooking, so the nutrient content by weight will differ in the cooked food. Added salt or other ingredients can also change the nutritional content of a prepared dish. Full nutrient figures for the dried, raw food are in the tables below.
