Chana Dal and Besan: Choosing the Right Mesh Size for Your Product

Chana Dal and Besan are related chickpea products but serve different applications. Buyers should specify whether they need split chana dal or gram flour, then define the characteristics required by their process.

Chana Dal

Chana Dal is split chickpea used in cooking, snack production and food manufacturing. Procurement checks may include grain size, colour, broken percentage, moisture, purity and foreign matter. State whether the product must meet a particular appearance or processing specification.

Besan (gram flour)

Besan is flour made from gram/chickpea. For industrial or food-service buyers, particle size or mesh can affect texture, hydration and performance in the finished product. The appropriate specification depends on the recipe and equipment, so buyers should define the required mesh or particle-size distribution with the supplier.

What to specify

• Product identity: Chana Dal or Besan.
• For Besan, required mesh or particle-size range.
• Colour, aroma, moisture and purity requirements.
• Relevant microbiological or residue tests for the destination.
• Packaging, batch identification and shelf-life expectations.

Sample approval

Test a representative sample in the actual recipe or manufacturing line. Agree on a written specification and acceptance process before ordering. Confirm the required documents, destination labelling and delivery term.
