Natural Chickpeas / Dried Chickpea Type Seed Purity 99% Style Natural Damaged 1-2% Max Shelf Life 2 YEARS Moisture Conte

• Type: Dried Chickpeas (Natural Type). This indicates they are raw, unprocessed, and unroasted.
• Seed Purity (99%): This is a high commercial grade. It means 99% of the bulk volume consists of actual chickpeas, with only 1% or less of foreign matter (like dust, stones, or other plant debris).
• Style (Natural): The seeds retain their original state without mechanical splitting, polishing, or chemical treatment.
• Damaged (1-2% Max): A low damage percentage indicating premium quality. No more than 1% to 2% of the batch contains broken, insect-bitten, discolored, or immature seeds.
• Shelf Life (2 Years): Standard for properly stored legumes. They will remain viable for consumption or planting for up to 24 months if kept in a cool, dry, and dark environment.
• Moisture Content (0): This is likely a typographical error or a shorthand for "0% moisture beyond the standard allowable limit." In commercial trade, perfectly bone-dry (0.0% literal moisture) pulses are highly rare and brittle. Standard safe storage moisture for chickpeas typically sits around 10% to 14%. A listed "0" often implies no excess or volatile moisture above the contractual baseline.

Common Uses for This Grade

• Food Processing: Ideal for packaging into retail bags, canning, or milling into chickpea flour (gram flour).
• Agriculture: High purity and low damage make this grade suitable for seed sorting and planting.
• Exporting: These metrics generally meet or exceed global agricultural import standards.
