Import Appalam — Buy in Bulk from Supplier in India

Appalam from Sri Arunai Health Foods is a traditional lentil wafer produced in Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu, designed for both domestic and international markets. The snack is made from a batter of urad dal and rice flour, seasoned with spices, then rolled thin, dried, and fried to create a crispy texture. Available in packet sizes ranging from 100 g to 500 g, it is packaged to retain freshness during storage and transport.

The production process for appalam involves soaking lentils, grinding them into a smooth batter, and incorporating spices before shaping and drying. A typical industry standard for appalam includes a maximum foreign matter content of 0.5% and a moisture level below 10% to prevent spoilage.
