Bengal Gram Whole

Premium Bengal Gram Whole (Kala Chana) from India

iGreen International is a reliable bengal gram exporter from India, offering premium quality whole bengal gram (kala chana) to food processors, importers, and retail distributors worldwide. Our bengal gram is sourced from the prime growing regions of Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra, where the Desi variety of chickpeas thrives in the black cotton soil and semi-arid climate that characterizes central India's agricultural heartland.

Bengal gram whole, known locally as kala chana or desi chana, is the most widely cultivated pulse in India and forms the backbone of the country's pulses export portfolio. Unlike the larger Kabuli chickpea, Bengal gram features a smaller seed with a distinctive dark brown to black rough coat and a robust, earthy flavor that is prized in traditional Indian cooking. As a leading kala chana supplier, iGreen International maintains year-round supply capability through strategic procurement across multiple growing regions.

Our sourcing extends across the prolific growing districts of Indore, Ujjain, Dewas, Dhar in Madhya Pradesh and Nagpur, Amravati, Akola in Maharashtra. These regions together produce millions of metric tons annually, and our established relationships with farmer cooperatives ensure access to the finest quality harvests. Every lot is carefully evaluated at procurement for size uniformity, color consistency, and moisture levels before being transported to our processing facility.

The processing of bengal gram at our facility incorporates multiple cleaning stages including destoning, aspiration, gravity separation, and high-precision sortex color sorting. This systematic approach removes undersized grains, stones, foreign seeds, damaged kernels, and insect-affected pieces to achieve purity levels of 98% or above. Our bold grade features hand-picked, extra-large kernels that command premium pricing in retail markets.

Bengal gram's nutritional profile — rich in protein (20-22%), dietary fiber, iron, and B-vitamins — has driven growing demand from health-conscious consumers and food manufacturers globally. The pulse's versatility extends from traditional Indian preparations like chana masala and roasted snacks to modern applications including protein-rich flour (besan), extruded snacks, and sprouted health foods. iGreen International serves all these market segments with appropriately graded products.

With FSSAI, ISO 9001:2015, USFDA, and GMP certifications, we ensure every shipment meets international food safety and quality standards. Complete export documentation including phytosanitary certificates, fumigation certificates, COA, and certificates of origin accompany each consignment, ensuring hassle-free customs clearance at destination ports.
