Urad Dal Gota

Urad Dal Gota (Vigna mungo whole bean), marketed internationally as whole black gram or whole black lentil, is the unprocessed, unsplit form of one of South Asia's most important pulses — the whole round bean with its characteristic black seed coat intact, revealing a creamy white interior when cut. In Indian cuisine the whole (gota) form is essential for dal makhani — the rich, slow-cooked black dal central to North Indian restaurant menus globally — and for fermented preparations where the whole bean structure provides superior protein and starch release during slow cooking than split dal can achieve. India is the world's largest urad producer at approximately 3 million tonnes annually, cultivated across Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Karnataka, Maharashtra, and Andhra Pradesh as both a Kharif and Rabi crop, with the South Asian diaspora community's strong brand attachment to Indian-origin urad underpinning consistent export demand regardless of competitive pricing from Myanmar.

Whole urad gota carries 24-25% protein and is exported in two commercial tiers: Premium Export Grade with minimum 99% purity, bright uniform black seed coat, 5-7 mm diameter, 12% moisture maximum, and less than 2% damaged kernels — targeting branded diaspora retail and South Indian fermentation-grade supply; and Standard Clean Grade with slightly higher admixture tolerance for bulk food-service and institutional buyers who cook whole urad in large-volume traditional dal preparations. Phytosanitary compliance for the main destination markets — UAE, UK, South East Asia, and North America — requires PPQS-issued Phytosanitary Certificates, fumigation documentation (Phosphine or Methyl Bromide as approved by destination country), and APEDA Certificate of Origin. Pesticide residue testing against EU Regulation EC 396/2005 is available for European market entry.

B2B buyers include South Asian grocery wholesale importers in the USA, UK, Canada, and UAE who distribute branded or private-label whole black gram to diaspora retail stores; North Indian restaurant supply chains across the Gulf, UK, and North America requiring consistent large-volume premium-grade whole urad for dal makhani preparation; plant-based food processors incorporating whole urad in traditional-cuisine ready-meal components; and health-food importers building high-protein, high-fibre ancient-legume product lines for nutritionally aware consumers in emerging markets. Shipments load from Nhava Sheva, Chennai, and Mundra in 25-50 kg PP or jute bags and 1 MT bulk jumbo sacks under FOB, CIF, and CFR Incoterms.
