About Field Beans

Field Beans (Dolichos lablab, also called Lablab bean or Hyacinth bean) are a nitrogen-rich legume crop cultivated across India for culinary and nutritional purposes. The beans are harvested from mature pods and dried to optimal moisture content for long-term storage. Rich in plant-based protein (20-25%), fiber, and essential amino acids, field beans are staple ingredients in Indian cuisine and increasingly popular in health-conscious global food markets.

Indian field bean production is concentrated in Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu, where tropical climate supports high-yielding cultivation. The beans are processed through mechanical cleaning, sortex separation, and grading to ensure premium export quality. Post-harvest handling follows strict food safety protocols including HACCP certification and pesticide residue testing.

Field beans are traditionally featured in Indian dal preparations and are gaining traction in plant-based food manufacturing, animal feed formulations, and nutritional supplement production globally.

Compliance & Quality Standards for UK

Post-Brexit, the United Kingdom operates a fully independent food import regime separate from EU rules. All food products entering Great Britain must meet UK Food Standards Agency (FSA) requirements, and importers must notify the UK government via the Import of Products, Animals, Food and Feed System (IPAFFS) before shipment arrives. IndianXporter prepares all UK-specific phytosanitary certificates endorsed by India's Plant Quarantine authority and ensures compliance with UK Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs), which have been updated since Brexit. HMRC import declarations are filed under the Customs Declaration Service (CDS). Organic products require UK Organic certification through a UKAS-accredited body. We provide fully bilingual (English) commercial invoices compliant with HMRC commodity codes under the UK Global Tariff schedule. At IndianXporter, we ensure every batch of field beans exceeds the quality expectations of UK importers and adheres to all local regulatory mandates.
