What to know about yellow lentils
Yellow lentils are the split, hulled pulses (toor dal, moong dal) at the heart of most Indian dal, and their trigger profile is driven by galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS). If you searched whether dal is low FODMAP or why lentils give you gas, this is why: yellow lentils grade very high on GOS and high on total FODMAPs. Because they are hulled and split, they cook down soft and are easy to over-serve, which pushes an otherwise moderate portion into trigger territory. They also carry moderate nickel, a separate concern for people with systemic nickel allergy. Whole and green lentils differ, so compare the red lentils and green lentils pages if you are tracking which type you tolerate.
Watch for
- Very high in galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS), the main FODMAP that makes dal bloating and gassy for sensitive guts
- High total FODMAP load; a small rinsed portion is far gentler than a big bowl of dal
- Moderate nickel, relevant if you have systemic nickel allergy, since pulses are a notable dietary source
- Not paleo or AIP compliant, as legumes are excluded from both
