Commodity Overview & Nutritional Profile
Pigeon Pea (Cajanus cajan), commonly recognized in international trade as Toor Dal, Arhar Dal, or Yellow Split Pigeon Peas, is a staple dietary pulse across the Indian subcontinent, the Caribbean, East Africa, and the Middle East. Rich in essential amino acids, dietary fiber, and complex carbohydrates, it serves as an indispensable ingredient in global plant-based protein diets, canned food processing, and traditional pulse cuisines.
Vishnu Balaji Global coordinates direct sourcing from prime dal milling hubs in Latur and Akola (Maharashtra) and the GI-tagged pulse plains of Kalaburagi (Karnataka). Our partner de-husking facilities utilize modern roller friction mills and multi-tier optical Sortex graders, ensuring that each batch is free of stones, weevils, dust, and immature grains.
