Listings show two common forms: whole black gram (with the husk/intact skin) and split black gram sold as urad dal.
Common net weights listed are 32 ounces (2 lb) and 64 ounces (4 lb).
Product details typically note packing in plastic bags to protect against moisture, and many listings state the beans are sortex-filtered and washed clean, ready for cooking.
Split urad dal cooks faster and more evenly, producing a consistent texture; whole urad soaks and cooks to a tender, creamy interior while retaining more of its shape.
Descriptions commonly highlight protein, fiber, iron, folate, and magnesium.
Descriptions emphasize uniform size and quality, noting the beans are cleaned and sorted to ensure reliable results.
Listings emphasize a rich, creamy texture when cooked that becomes tender yet can still hold structure; they note split versions deliver a more consistent texture in recipes.
