Split Mung Beans

Treedha's premium Split Mung Beans (Moong Dal) are exclusively sourced from the fertile regions of Rajasthan and central India. These areas are renowned for cultivating Vigna radiata with optimal soil and climatic conditions, which contribute to the bean's consistent quality and characteristic flavour profile. The seasonal harvest dictates availability, ensuring that only the freshest yields are processed for export.

Sourcing at origin is critical for bulk buyers as it guarantees direct access to authentic Indian Moong Dal, minimising intermediaries and providing full traceability. This direct procurement allows for stringent quality control from the initial harvest stage, ensuring the integrity of the product reaches our international partners.

Our Split Mung Beans are offered as 'Premium split · machine-cleaned' grade, processed to meet discerning international bulk trade standards. This grade signifies a product that has undergone extensive cleaning and sorting, including destoning, aspiration, magnetic separation, sieving, and advanced optical sorting (Sortex).

Key specifications include a maximum moisture content of 10-12%, ensuring stability and shelf life. Foreign matter is minimised to less than 1%, with 99%+ purity guaranteed through our multi-stage cleaning processes. The dal is consistently sized and dehulled (for yellow split) or split with skin (for green split) to achieve a uniform appearance and cooking characteristic. A bright, consistent yellow colour for the dehulled variety is a hallmark of quality, particularly valued in markets like the GCC. Each batch undergoes polishing to enhance its clean appearance.

Treedha ensures all Split Mung Beans (Moong Dal) adhere to rigorous international food safety standards. Our product is guaranteed ethylene-oxide-free (ETO-free), a critical compliance factor for the European Union, where the MRL for ETO and its metabolite is strictly set at 0.02 mg/kg for pulses (EU Regulation 2023/915). For the US market, while FDA limits for ETO are higher (7-50 mg/kg), our ETO-free commitment surpasses these, providing superior safety.

We rigorously test for contaminants, including aflatoxins (below the EU's regulated maximum levels and the FDA's action level of 20 ppb for human foods), heavy metals like cadmium and nickel (below EU Regulation 2023/915 limits, e.g., 4 mg/kg for nickel in pulses), and pesticide residues (adhering to EU Regulation 396/2005 and US EPA tolerances). Microbiological safety, particularly the absence of Salmonella (EU Regulation 2073/2005), is paramount. Each shipment is accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing these test results, alongside essential documentation like Phytosanitary Certificates and Certificates of Origin.

Global demand for Split Mung Beans (Moong Dal, Split Green Gram) is robust, driven by several key factors. The escalating worldwide shift towards plant-based proteins positions moong dal as a sought-after ingredient for manufacturers of meat alternatives, dairy-free products, and high-protein baked goods. Its nutritional profile, including high protein content and digestibility, aligns perfectly with expanding health food trends and urban consumption patterns.

Major importing nations for Indian Moong Dal include the United States, Bangladesh, Canada, and the UAE. European countries such as the UK, Germany, and the Netherlands also represent significant consumption hubs. Consistent demand is further underpinned by the cultural significance of Moong Dal as a dietary staple, particularly within South Asian diaspora communities globally, and its increasing popularity in convenience foods and foodservice sectors.
