Cracked Wheat
Dalia / Lapsi
Molido a partir de trigo duro cultivado en la meseta de Malwa del centro de India, nuestro trigo partido se precuece, se seca y se quiebra hasta obtener una sémola limpia y uniforme. La precocción fija el salvado y el germen al tiempo que reduce a la mitad el tiempo de cocción, dando un grano con notas a frutos secos, ligeramente dulce y con una masticación satisfactoria. Cuécelo al vapor para un upma salado, hiérvelo a fuego lento con jaggery y ghee para un lapsi, o mézclalo en frío en un tabbouleh brillante de hierbas.
Envasado en su punto óptimo, enviado con su procedencia.
Envasado en bolsas resellables de grado alimentario que conservan el aroma y el color, cada una etiquetada con su origen, grado y perfil de sabor.

Cracked Wheat (Dalia / Lapsi) is a versatile, parboiled whole grain sourced from India's Malwa Plateau. Valued for its nutritional profile and quick-cooking nature, it serves as a culinary staple in various global cuisines, offered by Treedha to bulk importers and private-label buyers worldwide.
Sourcing & Origin
Treedha's Cracked Wheat, also known as Dalia or Lapsi in India, and globally as Bulgur, Fada, Burghul, or Tabbouleh Wheat, originates from the fertile Malwa Plateau in Madhya Pradesh, India. Situated at an elevation of 450-550 metres, this region is renowned for producing high-quality durum wheat, which is ideal for parboiling and cracking.
The distinct terroir of the Malwa Plateau, combined with optimal climatic conditions, contributes to the superior characteristics of the wheat. For bulk buyers, sourcing from this specific Indian origin ensures a consistent supply of grain with desirable texture and nutritional integrity, critical for culinary applications from traditional South Asian dishes to Mediterranean tabbouleh.
Export Grades & Specifications
Treedha specialises in Coarse #3 cut, parboiled Cracked Wheat, a grade distinguished by its particle size and convenient preparation. This specific cut typically exhibits a granulation of 1.5–2.2 mm, offering a hearty texture suitable for a wide array of recipes.
Our Cracked Wheat undergoes a meticulous process: it is cleaned, parboiled, kiln-dried, and then precisely cracked. Further sortex-cleaning ensures uniform grit and exceptional purity, free from foreign matter. The parboiling step gelatinises the starch, making the grain quicker to cook and more resistant to pests, enhancing its appeal for bulk trade.

Quality, Safety & Compliance
Treedha adheres to rigorous international food safety standards, ensuring our Cracked Wheat (Dalia / Lapsi) meets the stringent requirements of global markets like the EU and US. Our product is steam-sterilised, confirming it is ethylene-oxide-free (ETO-free), a critical compliance point for EU imports where ETO is banned and subject to MRLs of 0.1 mg/kg (sum of ETO and 2-chloro-ethanol, expressed as ETO), as per EU regulations.
Each batch is lab-tested for contaminants, including aflatoxins and mycotoxins. For EU markets, our products meet limits such as 2.0 µg/kg for Aflatoxin B1 and 4.0 µg/kg for total Aflatoxins (B1+B2+G1+G2) in cereals, as set by the European Commission. We also ensure compliance with pesticide MRLs (default EU MRL of 0.01 mg/kg if no specific level exists) and strict microbiological criteria, including Salmonella (0 cfu/25g), a common specified maximum for coarse bulgur. Heavy metals such as arsenic, cadmium, and lead are also monitored per Regulation (EU) 2023/915 and FDA guidance.
Comprehensive documentation accompanies every shipment, including a Phytosanitary Certificate and a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA). This COA verifies quality parameters like moisture content, protein levels, and screening results for ETO, aflatoxins, MRLs, and Salmonella, providing full provenance and transparency for our bulk buyers.
Global Demand & Target Markets
Cracked Wheat (Bulgur / Dalia) is a globally sought-after whole grain, driven by its culinary versatility and recognised nutritional benefits. It is a fundamental ingredient in Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and South Asian cuisines, featuring prominently in dishes such as Tabbouleh, Kibbeh, pilafs, and as a healthy alternative to rice or couscous.
The global demand for bulgur wheat saw Iraq (US$34.3M), Syria (US$22.5M), and Germany (US$19.2M) as primary importing nations in 2022, according to ITC Trade Map data. The European Union is a growing market, with increasing imports. Other significant destinations include the United States, Dominican Republic, Namibia, Spain, Belgium, Switzerland, Canada, Reunion, and Haiti, indicating widespread appeal.
Growth in demand is underpinned by increasing consumer preference for healthy foods, with bulgur recognised as a USDA whole grain offering high fibre (up to 8 grams per cup) and substantial protein (11-14%). Its parboiled nature also makes it a quick-cooking, convenient option for both home cooks and food manufacturers, aligning with modern dietary trends and busy lifestyles. Demographic shifts, particularly of Middle Eastern populations in EU member states, further fuel consumption.

Preguntas
- ¿Es lo mismo el dalia que el bulgur?
- Ambos son trigo partido, pero se diferencian por un paso. El dalia simple es simplemente trigo crudo partido, mientras que el bulgur se precuece antes de partirlo. Nuestro grano es del estilo precocido, así que tiene el carácter a frutos secos del bulgur y el menor tiempo de cocción, y funciona igual de bien en platos indios de dalia y en tabbouleh mediterráneo.
- ¿Cómo se cocina y cuánto tarda?
- Como está precocido, es rápido. Cuece a fuego lento una parte de grano por dos partes de agua durante unos 12-15 minutos para una textura salada y esponjosa, o remoja el corte fino en agua caliente para ensaladas frías. Tostarlo primero en un poco de ghee intensifica el aroma a frutos secos.
- ¿Contiene gluten?
- Sí. El trigo partido es un producto de trigo y contiene gluten de forma natural, por lo que no es adecuado para dietas celíacas o sin gluten. Es, sin embargo, un grano entero que conserva el salvado y el germen para una mayor cantidad de fibra.
