Beans, pigeon peas, dahl, dried, boiled in unsalted water

Pigeon pea dahl is made from dried pigeon peas that have been split and had their seed coats removed. The figures here describe peas that have been soaked and boiled in unsalted water. They mainly provide carbohydrate and protein, with 21g of carbohydrate and 8.7g of protein per 100g. This amount also contains 0.5g of fat and 510mg of potassium.

Carbohydrate provides energy, while protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. Potassium helps nerves and muscles function normally. These figures apply to the boiled peas alone; adding salt, stock, oil or other ingredients will change the nutritional content of a prepared dahl dish.
