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 Japan
Japan maintains some of the world's most stringent food safety and residue standards, enforced by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) under the Food Sanitation Act. All food imports are subject to inspection by Japan's quarantine stations and must comply with Japan's Positive List system for agricultural chemical residues, which sets MRLs far more stringent than Codex standards for many substances. IndianXporter coordinates pre-shipment residue testing at NABL-accredited or Japan-approved laboratories and provides detailed pesticide use records to support Japanese customs clearance. The Japan Agricultural Standards (JAS) label is required for organic products. Plant products require phytosanitary certification from India's NPPO and may be subject to pest risk assessment under Japan's Plant Protection Law. Japanese buyers typically request detailed COA per lot, microbiological test reports, and allergen declarations in Japanese, which IndianXporter can coordinate. At IndianXporter, we ensure every batch of whole masoor exceeds the quality expectations of Japan importers and adheres to all local regulatory mandates.
