Channa dal
Other names chana dal, split bengal gram
Channa dal: moderate in FODMAPs and oligosaccharides. If you're sensitive to any of these, check it against your profile before eating.
Intolerances
- FODMAPsModerate
Channa dal is the chickpea hulled and split, and Prichard measured it at 0.13 g of fructans and 0.36 g of galacto-oligosaccharides per 100 g - the smallest of the five foods that survey found to carry anything. Hulling and splitting remove the seed coat, and the long soak that dal needs is normally poured away, which is where water-soluble GOS go. Both figures are per 100 g of the dal itself, not per plate of cooked dal, and a serving of dal is generous.

- OligosaccharidesFODMAPsModerate
Channa dal carries both oligosaccharide classes in small amounts: Prichard measured 0.36 g of galacto-oligosaccharides and 0.13 g of fructans per 100 g. GOS are what pulses characteristically carry, and they are the larger of the two here. The measurement is on the dal as sold; soaking water that is poured away takes soluble GOS with it.
