Green Lentils

Green lentils (Lens culinaris), famous across global markets for their peppery flavor profile and exceptional shape retention during high-temperature cooking, are a premium commodity in the international pulse trade. Aba Impex selects its high-grade green lentils from premier agricultural fields characterized by rich, well-aerated soils and moderate climates. Our advanced post-harvest processing plants use multi-channel optical sorters, gravity separation tables, and air-cleaning systems. This advanced setup successfully removes discolored seeds, field pebbles, and pod fragments, producing a highly uniform batch. We strictly monitor internal seed moisture levels to prevent chalkiness and protect the natural green skin color from fading during ocean transit. This careful attention ensures our green lentils meet the rigid phytosanitary and food safety standards of international premium retail brands, gourmet distributors, and commercial food processors.
