Split Chickpeas

Split Chickpeas, universally known as Chana Dal (Cicer arietinum), represent an economically vital, high-volume pulse commodity traded extensively across international culinary and food manufacturing channels. Aba Impex sources its split chickpeas from select fields that produce premium Desi chickpea varieties with a naturally rich starch-to-protein balance. Our modern processing facilities use precise mechanical de-hulling systems that cleanly peel the thick outer brown hull without breaking the inner cotyledons. The chickpeas are then split into two distinct, golden-yellow hemispheres, which go through vibrating sieve decks, air-aspirated destoners, and advanced multi-channel optical color sorters. This rigorous workflow completely removes unhulled seeds, small stones, and broken fragments. This results in a clean, uniform product that cooks evenly and retains its natural sweet-nutty flavor. This consistent quality makes Aba Impex a top supplier for spice blenders, flour millers, and retail distributors worldwide.
