Blackgram (Urad)
Product summary
For R&B International, the export of Urad (Black Gram) represents a specialized segment of the pulse trade. Known for its high mucilaginous content, it is an indispensable ingredient for making batters (like Idli and Dosa) and the world-famous Dal Makhani. For export, the distinction between "Polished" and "Unpolished," as well as the "FAQ" (Fair Average Quality) vs. "SQ" (Special Quality), is critical.

Product Description
The King of Batter: R&B International Premium Black Gram (Urad)
R&B International is a premier exporter of Indian Black Gram, a nutrient-dense pulse that is a cornerstone of South Asian and Southeast Asian vegetarian diets. Whether you are looking for the bold, glossy Whole Urad or the pristine, high-protein Skinned Urad Dal, our products are processed to meet the highest international standards of purity and culinary performance.
Why R&B International Urad is the Industry Choice:
High Fermentation Quality: Our Urad is specifically selected for its protein-to-starch ratio, which provides the superior "stretch" and "lift" required for fermentation. This makes it the top choice for commercial flour millers and ready-to-eat food manufacturers.
The "Special Quality" (SQ) Luster: We offer SQ Grade Urad, which undergoes a natural polishing process to give it a brilliant jet-black shine without the use of harmful chemicals. This is highly preferred for retail displays in the Middle East and European markets.
Stark White Purity: Our Split Urad Dal is processed in state-of-the-art mills that ensure the black husk is completely removed, leaving only the creamy, white kernel. Every batch is Sortex-cleaned to eliminate any "speckled" or discolored grains.
Nutritional Powerhouse: Rich in phosphoric acid, iron, and calcium, our Urad is a functional food that supports energy and bone health, fitting perfectly into the global "Clean Eating" and "Plant-Based" trends.
From the creamy texture of gourmet dals to the perfect crunch of traditional savory snacks, R&B International delivers the authentic strength and flavor of Indian Urad.
Strategic Tip for R&B International:
The FAQ vs. SQ Distinction: When quoting to international buyers, clarify the quality grade. FAQ (Fair Average Quality) is standard for milling and industrial use, while SQ (Special Quality) is the glossy, bold grain intended for "table use" or premium retail. Highlighting that you provide Sortex-cleaned material is a major competitive advantage, as it guarantees the absence of tiny black stones that are notoriously difficult to separate from Urad.
