Toor Dal

Toor Dal is a food-grade dry pulse derived from Cajanus cajan, processed into split pigeon peas, polished or unpolished. It is commercially relevant to retail wholesalers, dal processors and food-service distributors, with acceptance determined by grain integrity and consistent preparation. Its typical appearance is yellow split cotyledons, while natural crop variation may influence colour and seed size.

Importer quality inspection places particular emphasis on clean splits, consistent yellow tone and limited powdering. One technical benchmark is Moisture ≤14% (illustrative trade target). Applicable commodity standards and destination rules provide reference limits for moisture and extraneous matter. Mechanical cleaning, de-stoning, grading and inspection for infestation are important before bagging. Broken, weevilled or discoloured grains are recorded separately where the selected grade requires them.

For commercial shipments, intact moisture-resistant food-grade sacks, traceable batch labels and dry palletised storage reduce transport risks. Incoming lots may also be assessed for pesticide residues and contaminants against the importing market's rules. Specifications distinguish published limits from any additional trade-grade targets.
