Moong Dal Soup: Our digestion process slows down a bit during the rainy season. Moong dal is very light and its soup is beneficial for the stomach. This does not cause problems like gas, indigestion or bloating.

Moong dal contains good amount of antioxidants as well as vitamin C and iron. When you make soup by adding ginger, garlic, black pepper and turmeric to it, it strengthens the body’s immunity to fight monsoon infections and flu.

Due to humidity in monsoon, the body sweats a lot, which can lead to deficiency of water and essential salts. This hot soup helps in maintaining liquid balance in the body.

It is common to feel lethargic and weak during rainy days. The high protein and complex carbohydrates present in moong dal provide instant energy to the body without making it heavy.

Moong dal soup has high fiber content and very low calories. Drinking this keeps the stomach full for a long time, which reduces the desire to eat pakodas or fried foods during monsoon.
