Dal Biji is a traditional Indian fried namkeen bought as an everyday snack or tea-time accompaniment. Its ingredient list is reassuringly clean — no artificial colours, preservatives, emulsifiers, or added sugars — and it derives modest protein from gram flour and lentils. The critical concern for most buyers is its very high sodium (935 mg/100 g) and high total fat (39.7 g/100 g, dominated by a blend of cottonseed, corn, and palmolein oils that are elevated in saturated and omega-6 fatty acids); at a realistic two-handful serving the sodium load climbs quickly. The single most useful thing a curious consumer should know: this is a minimally additive-laden fried snack, but its sodium and saturated-fat density mean it is best enjoyed in the small 20 g portion the label suggests, not straight from the bag.
