What Is Whole Black Gram?

Whole Black Gram is the unhulled seed of Vigna mungo, identifiable by its dark black seed coat and white inner kernel (visible at the hilum). It develops a creamy texture when cooked and is closely related to Vigna radiata (mung/green gram) — the two species share the same HS subheading (0713.31) and are both used extensively for bean sprout production, though black gram is typically higher in protein and fat while green gram tends to be higher in carbohydrate and fiber.

Why Source from Bangladesh

Bangladesh’s fertile agricultural regions and traditional cultivation practices support consistent grain uniformity and nutritional quality. Agrinofy partners with established growers and processors for traceable, export-ready supply.
