Red & Yellow Lentils

Red and Yellow Lentils (Lens culinaris) are high-demand, fast-cooking pulse commodities that form a central pillar of international agricultural trade across Middle Eastern, South Asian, and Mediterranean food sectors. Aba Impex specializes in supplying premium-grade red and yellow lentils harvested from pristine, high-yield agrarian zones. Our modern processing facilities feature state-of-the-art mechanical hulling systems that gently remove the outer seed coat, followed by precise automated splitting machines. The split kernels are then lightly polished with food-grade vegetable oil or water to give them a bright, glossy appearance and uniform texture. Every production batch goes through multi-stage optical color scanning to eliminate discolored seeds, unhulled kernels, and field debris. This strict process ensures our split lentils cook quickly and blend smoothly, making Aba Impex a trusted long-term supplier for industrial soup manufacturers, global dry-pack brands, and wholesale food operations.
