Chana Dal (Cicer arietinum), commonly known as split Bengal gram, is a staple pulse in Indian and South Asian cuisine. It is derived from splitting and polishing dried chickpeas, resulting in bright yellow, round lentils that cook quickly and absorb flavors well. Chana Dal is not only valued for its culinary versatility but also for its high protein, fiber, and essential nutrient content, making it a healthy choice in vegetarian and vegan diets.
India is the largest producer and exporter of Chana Dal, with major growing regions in Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh. The Didwaniya Group ensures strict quality controls from farm to export, delivering Chana Dal that meets international standards for color, size, moisture content, and cleanliness, catering to diverse global markets.
