I've never heard of them....are they similar to lentils as far as using in recipes?

Thanks! Sounds interesting!

Thanks Have you tried these before?

I also would be interested to know how those who have used chana dal have faired with weight loss and blood sugar when eating it.

I is a small variety of chickpea. I use it to make hummus. At that GI, this plant should be of great interest to people with Type 1 Diabetes because if you eat a small amount spread out through the day it can have a remarkable blood sugar leveling effect. In combination with Bernstein's LC it could be very healthy indeed.

Thanks for your reply, I'm looking forward to trying this out soon!

hi-
welcome to our group!
Another grain to check out is quinoa. It is also higher in protein and a great substitiute for rice or cous cous.
Thanks for the info about the dal. Very interesting!

Thanks for the welcome and the idea. It looks like quinoa has half your daily iron requirements per serving!

It doesn't sound so far like many people have tried chana dal, perhaps I should do a book report after I get it. I'm especially interested to see how my blood sugar reacts, given it's stated GI.

Yes! Please give us a review! I'm always on the lookout for foods that are more nutritious and compatible with this plan!

Eno, thanks for the reminder about quinoa! I had forgotton about it. I think my family might like it!

Sure thing
