Import Desi Chickpea / Desi Chana / Bengal Gram — Buy in Bulk from Supplier in India

Desi chickpeas from RDT Overseas are small, dark brown to black legumes with a firm texture and earthy nutty flavour, distinct from the larger, lighter Kabuli variety. Each batch is sourced from India’s primary growing regions and meets standard moisture content levels of 10-12% and broken grain percentages under 5%, as commonly accepted in international trade. The product is delivered in clean, dry condition with minimal foreign matter, consistent with typical export-grade desi chana specifications.

These chickpeas are naturally high in protein and dietary fibre, with approximately 15 grams of protein and 15 grams of fibre per cooked cup. They contain no added preservatives or coatings, and are typically free from chemical treatments. Standard grading follows Indian Agricultural Produce Standards, with colour uniformity and size consistency maintained through mechanical sorting. The grain length averages 6-8 mm, and amylose content typically ranges between 25-30%, influencing cooking behaviour and digestibility.

Desi chickpeas are purchased by food processors, spice blend manufacturers, and wholesale distributors across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa for use in dal, snacks, flour, and canned preparations. Buyers commonly order in 25kg polypropylene bags, with bulk shipments in 20ft containers holding up to 20 metric tons. Packaging is standard for export, with inner moisture barriers and outer woven sacks. Lead times and Incoterms are confirmed directly with the supplier before shipment.

RDT Overseas operates from Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra, with a registered address and harbor-tier trust status indicating active export engagement. The supplier is verified as a registered exporter but provides no public details on years in business, workforce size, or client list. Their listing shows no response rate or average reply time, suggesting limited real-time communication capacity. They source directly from Indian farmers and processors but do not claim ownership of production facilities.

The company does not list certifications such as FSSC 22000, HACCP, or organic status, nor does it reference any quality testing lab affiliations. No claims are made about processing methods beyond standard cleaning and sorting. Buyers should treat this as a trading entity rather than a producer, and verify all technical specifications through sample testing before bulk orders.
