India's Role in Global Chana Dal Supply
India produces approximately 70% of the world's chickpeas, with Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Karnataka as the primary growing states. Chana Dal — the split, hulled form of desi chickpea — is India's most widely consumed pulse and a major export commodity to diaspora markets and food manufacturers globally.
The dal is produced by splitting whole desi chickpeas and removing the outer husk, resulting in flat, yellow split lentils with a mildly nutty flavour and high nutritional density. Protein content of 20–22% makes it highly valued in health food formulations.
Quality and Processing
All Zenvico Global chana dal is machine-cleaned, sortex double-cleaned and colour-sorted to achieve minimum 99.5% purity. Foreign matter, black seeds, discoloured grains and stones are removed through multi-stage cleaning equipment. The result is a bright, uniform yellow product that meets UK FSA, Canadian CFIA and UAE ESMA food safety standards.
Key Export Markets
United Kingdom (large South Asian diaspora retail market), Canada, USA, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Australia and Singapore are primary destinations. Food manufacturers in Europe use chana dal for lentil chips, dal soups, flour and plant-protein products.
