🛡 Storage & Freshness

Our Toor Dal is naturally preserved and stored without chemicals. Over long storage periods, natural foods may occasionally attract tiny storage insects in warm, humid conditions. This is a sign of chemical-free purity and can be prevented by:

• Keeping dal in an airtight container in a cool, dry place

• Adding natural repellents like dried neem leaves or red chillies

• Freezing for 48 hours if long-term storage is needed

Note: These occasional natural changes during long storage are harmless and far safer than consuming pesticide-treated products.
