Product Description

Green Gram is a traditional pulse widely used in Indian cooking. Green gram can be enjoyed as a whole grain or split form and is commonly used for dal, curries, khichdi, sprouts and various traditional preparations.

At Sampoorna Swadesi, we source our grains and pulses from different farming families because every crop has its own requirements for soil, climate and growing conditions. We therefore work with farmers from different regions who cultivate crops suited to their local environment.

Know Your Farmers

Our grains and pulses are cultivated by farming families including:

1. Rajesh – Macherla, Andhra Pradesh
2. Siva Reddy – Rayachoti, Andhra Pradesh
3. Jagadeesh Rao – Chittoor, Andhra Pradesh
4. Ashok Reddy – Bapatla, Andhra Pradesh
5. Yedukondalu – Piduguralla, Andhra Pradesh

The farmer and source may vary depending on the crop and batch. Different farming families may cultivate different grains and pulses according to the suitability of their land and local climate.

Natural Farming & Indigenous Seeds

Our Green Gram Whole / Split is cultivated using natural farming methods and indigenous/traditional seeds, following the traditional agricultural practices of the respective farming families.

Our approach is based on maintaining a direct relationship with farmers and understanding the source of the food we bring to our customers.

We do not claim organic certification for this product. Instead, our focus is on natural farming practices, traditional seeds and traceable sourcing from farming families.

Natural Preservation

We follow natural preservation and storage methods to help maintain the shelf life of our grains and pulses, rather than relying on chemical preservatives as part of our approach.

Since these are naturally sourced agricultural products, customers may notice natural variations in colour, size, texture and appearance between different batches.

Why Can Black Pests Appear in Green Gram?

Customers may occasionally notice small black storage insects/pests in whole or split green gram.

This can happen naturally with stored pulses. Storage insects may originate from the crop or become visible later during storage, particularly under warm and humid conditions.

The presence of an occasional storage insect does not by itself mean that the product has been adulterated.

We want our customers to understand that naturally stored grains and pulses can sometimes behave differently from highly processed products.

How to Store Green Gram

After receiving the product:

• Store it in a clean, dry and airtight container.
• Keep it away from moisture and direct sunlight.
• Check the product periodically.
• Always use a clean and dry spoon.
• Clean and completely dry the container before refilling.
• Avoid keeping unnecessarily large quantities for very long periods.

If you notice fungus/mould, white worms or larvae, unusual moisture, serious infestation or significant deterioration, please contact us with photographs and your order/batch details.

Replacement Policy

Because Green Gram is a naturally sourced agricultural product, minor natural variations and occasional black storage pests are not automatically considered a product defect.

Generally, we do not replace the product solely because of the presence of occasional black storage pests.

However, we will consider replacement for a genuine quality issue, particularly when fungus/mould or white worms/larvae are found.

Please contact us as soon as possible with photographs and the relevant order or batch information so that the issue can be reviewed.

Our Sampoorna Swadesi Approach

At Sampoorna Swadesi, we believe that knowing who grows our food and where it comes from is important.

Different grains and pulses require different soil and climatic conditions. Therefore, we work with farming families from different regions instead of expecting every crop to come from one location.

Our approach is:

Know the Farmer → Know the Source → Respect Traditional Farming → Bring Better Food Home

We focus on our relationships with farming families, traditional agricultural knowledge and traceable sourcing rather than treating an organic certification label as the only measure of how food is grown.
