Masoor Dal: Whole Brown vs Split Red Lentils for Global Markets
Masoor is sold in different forms, including whole brown lentils and split red lentils. Buyers should name the required form clearly because appearance, preparation and intended application differ.
Whole brown masoor
Whole brown lentils retain their seed coat and are used in soups, stews and other dishes. Buyers may assess size uniformity, colour, damaged grains, moisture, purity and foreign matter.
Split red lentils
Split red lentils are processed to remove the seed coat and split the grain. They are commonly used in dals, soups and food manufacturing. Relevant specifications may include colour, split consistency, broken material and cooking performance.
