Four Forms — Know What You Are Ordering
Moong is traded in four distinct forms and the names are used loosely across markets. Getting this wrong is the most common ordering error on green gram, because "moong dal" alone can mean at least three different products.
If you need the yellow dal, specify "split without skin" or "yellow moong dal" explicitly. Ordering just "moong dal" risks receiving chilka, which behaves very differently in cooking.
Buying for Sprouting? Specify Germination Rate
Whole green moong sold for sprouting is a functional product, not just a food grain. Standard food-grade material may not germinate reliably. If sprouting is the end use, germination rate must be on the contract.
State sprouting intent at enquiry stage. It changes which lot is selected and whether heat treatment can be applied for pest control.
Typical Specifications
On specifications: the figures above reflect standard industry specifications for this product. Your actual batch values are confirmed on a NABL-accredited Certificate of Analysis issued against your specific lot — provided with every shipment, and with sample orders before you commit to bulk. We do not ask buyers to take a specification on trust.
Documentation — Handled End to End
Pulses are highly vulnerable to transit infestation. A fumigation certificate is issued before container stuffing on every shipment, alongside the full document set handed over within 24 hours of the Bill of Lading date.
HS Code 0713.31. Halal and Organic available on request. Third-party inspection by SGS or BV available.
How Ordering Works
MOQ is discussed at order stage. Packing from 1kg retail to 50kg bulk. Payment by advance TT, LC at sight, or DP/DA case by case.
Buyer Questions
What are the different forms of moong dal?
Four. Whole green moong is the intact seed with green skin, used for sprouting and whole-bean dishes. Split with skin, called chilka, retains the green husk. Split without skin is the yellow dal used for standard dal preparation. Washed or polished yellow is dehusked and washed for premium retail. Specify the form explicitly, since "moong dal" alone is ambiguous.
I need moong for sprouting. What should I specify?
Specify whole green moong with a minimum germination rate stated on the contract. Standard food-grade material may not germinate reliably, and heat treatment used for pest control destroys germination capacity entirely. Tell us sprouting is the end use at enquiry stage so the right lot is selected and germination is tested on the batch.
What is the difference between chilka and yellow moong dal?
Chilka is split moong with the green skin retained, giving a firmer texture and a more traditional appearance in the finished dish. Yellow moong dal is split and dehusked, cooking down softer and faster, which is why it is preferred for purees, khichdi and baby food. They are not substitutes for each other.
Why is fumigation so important for pulses?
Pulses are highly vulnerable to storage pest damage in transit, and a lot that passes at load port can arrive weevilled if fumigation or packing were inadequate. This is the most common cause of quality disputes in pulse trade. We issue a fumigation certificate before container stuffing on every shipment.
What HS code applies to moong dal?
Moong, also called green gram or mung beans, is exported from India under HS Code 0713.31, covering dried beans of the Vigna radiata species whether or not shelled or split. We declare the correct code on all shipping documents.
Can I get a sample with a COA before bulk?
Yes. Sample orders carry the same NABL-accredited Certificate of Analysis standard as bulk shipments, including a germination result where sprouting grade is specified, so you can verify before committing.
