Product Overview
Masoor Dal, or split red lentils (Lens culinaris), is one of the world's most traded pulses and a staple ingredient for food manufacturers, restaurants, and households across Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia. India is among the top producers, and Amrudhya Harvests sources premium masoor dal from Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh - the primary growing regions. Our red lentils are offered in two grades: premium washed (vibrant red-orange color, machine polished) and regular trade grade. The product cooks rapidly without pre-soaking, making it ideal for ready-meal manufacturers, soup producers, and institutional kitchens. Masoor Dal has seen particularly strong demand growth in the UK, Germany, Italy, and East Africa, where plant-based protein consumption is accelerating. Amrudhya Harvests supplies EU-specification masoor dal with pesticide-residue test reports, non-GMO declarations, and aflatoxin test reports. Custom packaging for private-label brands - including resealable stand-up pouches - is available for orders of 5 MT and above per SKU.
