Toor Dal is split and dehulled pigeon pea — the most widely consumed pulse in institutional food markets across GCC, South Asia, and East Africa. It cooks uniformly, has a neutral flavour that adapts to local spice profiles, and carries a shelf life of 18–24 months in appropriate packaging.
GCC food manufacturers and institutional caterers source Toor Dal in consistent batches. Batch-to-batch purity and moisture variation is the primary quality failure mode in Indian pulse exports. Our AQL 2.5 sampling methodology eliminates that variable — when we report 99.5% purity, that figure comes from a 200-unit statistical sample, not a visual check.
Sourced from contracted processing facilities in Maharashtra (Latur, Osmanabad districts) and Madhya Pradesh (Sehore, Vidisha). These two states account for over 60% of India's Toor Dal production and consistently produce the highest-purity split variety. We do not source from spot markets — supply comes from contracted facilities with documented quality histories.
Most Indian Toor Dal exporters do not state their inspection standard. We state AQL 2.5 — the same standard that Tesco, Carrefour, and ALDI apply to their own food suppliers — and we back it with an SGS or Intertek COA on every single lot. This is not a selective quality claim. It is a documented, verifiable standard.
Three-stage processing protocol: (1) Destoning and winnowing removes stones, soil clumps, and heavy foreign matter. (2) Gravity separation removes lighter foreign material and immature grains by density. (3) Sortex optical sorting uses high-speed cameras and air jets to eject discoloured grains, broken fragments, and any remaining foreign material below the tolerance threshold.
SGS or Intertek Certificate of Analysis issued before containerisation on every lot. Parameters covered: purity %, moisture %, admixture %, broken grains %. Container sealed in the presence of the inspector. COA seal number recorded. No post-inspection tampering possible.
GCC food importers supplying retail chains who need SFDA/ESMA-compliant documentation. South Asian institutional buyers in Bangladesh and Sri Lanka requiring consistent batch quality. East African distributors (Kenya, Tanzania) supplying urban institutional food service.
18 MT minimum (one 20ft FCL). Physical sample available within 5 business days. Formal quotation within 12 hours of inquiry. Private label packaging with Arabic labelling for GCC retail from one container minimum.

Golden Sample System
Approve a physical sample. We lock it as the quality reference for every future shipment from your account. Every container is inspected against it by SGS or Intertek before loading. Any deviation triggers re-processing at our cost.
