Split Chickpeas

Treedha sources Split Chickpeas (Chana Dal) directly from the fertile Malwa belt in Madhya Pradesh, India. This region is renowned for its optimal climate and soil conditions, which are ideal for cultivating the desi type of chickpea, yielding a superior raw material for splitting.

The specific origin ensures a consistent quality and flavour profile highly sought after by international buyers. Our direct sourcing approach provides full provenance and traceability, enabling bulk importers to confidently guarantee the origin of their supply.

Treedha's Split Chickpeas (Chana Dal) are supplied as export-grade, machine-cleaned, dehusked, and water-polished desi chickpeas. This meticulous processing ensures uniformity and meets stringent international quality benchmarks.

Our specifications focus on critical parameters for bulk buyers, including optimal moisture content, high purity, and minimal defects, ensuring the product's integrity and shelf life. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing to confirm adherence to these standards, making it suitable for diverse food processing applications and private-label packaging.

Treedha prioritises the highest food safety standards, particularly for discerning markets in the EU and US. Our Split Chickpeas (Chana Dal) are steam-sterilised, guaranteeing an ethylene-oxide (ETO)-free product, in line with strict regulatory requirements where ETO is a restricted substance.

We conduct comprehensive lab testing to ensure compliance with international limits for harmful contaminants.

All shipments are accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and a Phytosanitary Certificate, and Treedha is APEDA-registered.

Additionally, the growing food processing industry worldwide seeks high-quality, ready-to-use pulses for ingredients in snacks, flour, and instant mixes.
