About Whole Masoor
Whole Masoor (Lens culinaris) is the unsplit, brown-skinned red lentil — the whole form before dehulling reveals the orange interior of split masoor dal. Whole masoor retains its seed coat, giving it a firmer bite, a nuttier flavour, and a longer cook time than the split lentil, making it ideal for traditional whole-lentil dishes, sprouting, salads, and feed.
India is the world's largest lentil producer (~1.2 million MT), with whole masoor grown as a Rabi (winter) crop concentrated in Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh. Whole masoor carries 24–26% protein and is machine-cleaned and colour-sorted for export. Its intact seed coat gives it excellent storage stability and pest resistance.
Globally, whole lentils trade in tiers: premium bold colour-sorted whole masoor for retail and sprouting, standard whole masoor for traditional cooking, and feed-grade lentils. India differentiates on diaspora loyalty, bold seed size, and cleaner glyphosate residue profiles compared with bulk-export origins such as Canada and Australia.
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 whole masoor exceeds the quality expectations of France importers and adheres to all local regulatory mandates.
