Darlin’ Dal as easy as
order + water.
Gut healing organic nutrition.

Dal is a complete and complex form of nutrition, which we  amplify with ancient Ayurveda recipes.

It is gut-nourishing goodness which can elevate your mood and assist with weight balancing.

Using pesticide free pulses that are split and hulled, it is the healthiest food you can consume and very easy to digest.

No gluten, no dairy, no soy, no added sugar, no nuts, no corn, no GMO, no pesticides, no hidden nasties.

What’s left? All the good stuff.

With over 30 years of spreading health happiness, as a trained nurse, an Ayurvedic cook and Vedic counsellor, Jo-Anne’s mission is to make your heart and belly smile!

Catch the infectious passion for gut health in every Darlin Dal dish.

“When people ditched the cooking of medicinal spice in their kitchens, supermarkets birthed the sauce aisle.”

That’s why Darlin’ Dal created a selection of plant-powered, locally sourced, and sustainable goodies which make them the most amazing GUT BIOME SAUCE ever – nourishing and cleansing 70% of your immune system.

Initially, a brainchild to pamper pregnant women and
spice up meatless nights for the guys, Darlin’ Dal has been healing guts across Australia since 2016 and proudly snagged the title of South Australia’s most innovative business, crowned by the glory of winning Kochie’s Channel 7 Business Builders in 2021.

At the core of Darlin’ Dal is a mission for Ayurveda, health wisdom, inner well-being, and a life as stress-free as one of Adelaide’s summer days.

... merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, nourishing along the way!

Darlin' Dal was born out of a simple life, connecting daily to nature. Jo Stutley, who also trained as a registered nurse, is the brains behind this boutique range in South Australia.

At Darlin' Dal the food is organic, preservative, gluten, nut, corn, soy, and GMO free. What's left? All the good stuff.  Much to her surprise and excitement, her dals have been serving some of the adult tubie population in South Australia as tube feeding formula blends.

Ayurveda says, "make your food your medicine & let your medicine be your food". With Ayurvedic wisdom as a dressing, no wonder it's so popular!

We’re all about the laid-back Adelaide Ayurveda groove—Sattvic Living and Dinacharya are our jams.
It’s not just a lifestyle; it’s your ticket to balance, clarity, and spiritual well-being, served with a side of daily self-care.

Despite a life-threatening accident, a 50 metre cliff fall, seventeen days and seven operations later, managing to walk out of the hospital and set about healing myself the real question “who are we” began. Much to the shock and awe of doctors and medical professionals.

Still to this day Mr Teague & Dr Hall, my surgeons (now both retired) call it “willpower”.

After this life-changing event, I was determined to share what I have learned about the body’s healing capacity and how to achieve inner well-being with others.

Fuelled by a deep love for sharing wisdom, I run regular events and workshops, spreading the good word about gut health, nutrition, and Ayurveda.

Let’s kickstart your path to holistic wellness!
