About Green Gram / Mung Bean

Green Gram (Vigna radiata), known across India as Moong, is a small, bright-green, oval pulse and one of the most versatile and digestible legumes in global trade. It is sold both as whole green moong — used for sprouting, salads and whole-dal cooking — and as the yellow split-and-dehusked Moong Dal that cooks quickly into a light, easily digestible dal. Carrying 23–25% protein and exceptionally easy to digest, moong is the pulse most associated with health, detox diets and the plant-protein movement.

India is the world's largest producer of green gram, growing 2.5–3 million MT annually across Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh, as both a Kharif and summer (zaid) crop. Moong is uniquely multi-form in its end uses: whole bean for sprouts, split dal for cooking, dehusked flour for papad and the fast-growing market for mung-bean protein isolate used in plant-based eggs and meat alternatives. This breadth of application drives demand well beyond the traditional diaspora staple market.

Globally, green gram trades as whole green moong (sprouting and machine-cleaned grades), split yellow moong dal (polished and unpolished), and dehusked / flour grades. Export quality is defined by green colour brightness, bean size, sortex purity and germination rate for sprouting buyers. India differentiates on bright bold-seeded grades, high germination rates and diaspora trust against rival origins such as Myanmar, Australia and China.

Compliance & Quality Standards for France

France is a key gateway for Indian specialty foods into the European gourmet and organic food market. All imports must comply with EU Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 and the EU's Official Controls Regulation (EU) 2017/625, enforced locally by France's DGCCRF (Direction Générale de la Concurrence, de la Consommation et de la Répression des Fraudes). Many Indian products face heightened import controls under Annex II of Commission Regulation (EU) 2019/1793, requiring phytosanitary certificates and documentary/identity checks at EU Border Inspection Posts (BIP). Le Havre is France's largest container port and a primary EU entry point for Indian goods. French food manufacturers and distributors frequently demand IFS Food certification, Ecocert or AB (Agriculture Biologique) organic certification, and full traceability documentation. IndianXporter coordinates French customs declarations (DAU), EUR.1 movement certificates, and notarized COO documentation. At IndianXporter, we ensure every batch of green gram / mung bean exceeds the quality expectations of France importers and adheres to all local regulatory mandates.
