Brown Chickpeas (Desi Chana / Kala Chana) — Exporter from India
Brown Chickpeas (Desi Chana) — widely known in trade as Kala Chana and Bengal Gram — are the smaller, darker, rough-coated variety of Cicer arietinum, recognised globally for their distinctly earthy flavour, superior protein content of up to 22g per 100g, and exceptional dietary fibre that makes them one of the most nutritionally complete pulses in international commodity trade. Unlike Kabuli Chana which is predominantly used for whole consumption and hummus production, Desi Chana serves as the critical raw material for chana dal production — split and dehusked into the small yellow lentil consumed across South Asian cuisine — and for besan (chickpea flour) milling, a fundamental ingredient in Indian cooking, snack manufacturing, and gluten-free food production worldwide. Available in 4 to 7mm sizes, Indian Desi Chana sourced from Madhya Pradesh is among the most competitively priced and reliably supplied Kala Chana in global pulse markets.
As a direct Brown Chickpeas (Desi Chana) exporter from India, Indiafeast Millers Private Limited processes every batch at our ISO, FSSAI, and APEDA-certified Processing facility in Karnal, Haryana — sourcing directly from India’s primary Desi Chana growing belt in Madhya Pradesh for consistent quality and year-round supply availability. With complete in-house mechanical cleaning, gravity separation, and optical sortex color sorting, we supply Brown Chickpeas (Desi Chana / Kala Chana) as a trusted exporter and bulk supplier to dal millers, food processors, snack manufacturers, and private label brands across 14+ countries worldwide — with flexible MOQ from 25 metric ton, 25 KG and 50 KG export-grade PP and BOPP bag packaging, and full trade documentation including phytosanitary certificate, fumigation certificate, and certificate of origin.
