Desi Chickpeas, also known as Desi Chana or Bengal Gram, are one of the most widely consumed chickpea types in South Asia. Compared with Kabuli Chickpeas, Desi Chickpeas generally have a smaller seed, rougher surface and darker-coloured seed coat. The inner cotyledon is typically yellow to pale yellow. Their naturally rich flavour and firm texture make them suitable for a wide range of traditional and processed food applications. They are commonly cooked as whole chickpeas, split to produce Chana Dal, roasted for snacks or milled into Besan (gram flour). For international trade, Desi Chickpeas can be supplied in cleaned and machine-sorted form with specifications tailored to the requirements of importers, wholesalers, food manufacturers and distributors. Size, purity, moisture and other quality parameters can be agreed before shipment.
