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.

Available Processing Types

  • Unpolished Yellow Split Toor Dal: 100% natural split peas without added moisture or oil coatings, favored by health-conscious food distributors and organic grocers.
  • Oily Polished Toor Dal: Conditioned with food-grade edible castor oil film according to traditional preservation methods, providing superior protection against storage pests and moisture absorption during lengthy tropical sea voyages.
