Black gram
Black Gram, also known as Black Lentil or Urad Dal, is one of the most widely consumed lentils in India. These lentils are small, round, and black in color with a slightly elongated shape. They have a sticky texture when cooked and a mild, bland flavor that makes them versatile for various culinary applications. The Black Gram exporter in India exports tonnes of this lentil to numerous countries around the globe. With its increasing global demand, the Black Gram export from India has witnessed substantial growth over the years. This presents a valuable opportunity for Indian exporters to expand their reach and establish a strong presence in the international marketplace. The export includes several high-yielding and disease-resistant varieties of Black Gram that cater to diverse consumer needs worldwide.
