Product Description

Urad Dal Without Skin, also known as White Urad Dal / Skinned Black Gram, is prepared by removing the outer black skin from whole black gram. It is widely used in traditional Indian cooking and is especially popular for preparing idli, dosa, vada, dal, papad and other traditional recipes.

At Sampoorna Swadesi, our grains and pulses are sourced from different farming families because different crops require different soil, climate and growing conditions. We therefore work with farming families from different regions, depending on the suitability of their land for each crop.

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 cultivate different grains and pulses according to the soil and climatic conditions of their respective regions.

Natural Farming & Indigenous Seeds

Our Urad Dal is cultivated using natural farming methods and indigenous/traditional seeds, following the agricultural practices of the respective farming families.

We believe in maintaining a direct relationship with farmers and understanding who grows our food and where it comes from.

We do not claim organic certification for this product. Our focus is on natural farming practices, indigenous/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.

As a naturally sourced agricultural product, natural variations in colour, size, texture and appearance may occur between different batches.

Why Can Black Pests Appear in Urad Dal?

Customers may occasionally notice small black storage insects/pests in pulses.

Stored grains and pulses can naturally be affected by storage insects, particularly under warm and humid conditions. These insects may originate from the crop or become visible later during storage.

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

We believe it is important for customers to understand the difference between natural storage pests and genuine food deterioration.

How to Store Urad Dal

After receiving the product:

• Store in a clean, dry and airtight container.
• Keep 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 storing 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 Urad Dal Without Skin 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 Urad Dal Without Skin solely because of occasional black storage pests.

However, we will consider replacement in the event of a genuine quality issue, particularly where fungus/mould or white worms/larvae are found.

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 rather than 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.
