About
Urad bean, also urd, black gram, black Beluga lentils, are little black beans with creamy white interiors, used in cooking across South Asia. Whole Urad bean is used mainly in stews and soups. They derive their strong, rich, earthy flavor from the black skins, and have an uncanny ability to absorb flavors.
