Moth Beans

Moth Beans

Welcome to Siya Agri Exports LLP, your source for India’s most resilient and nutritious legume-Moth Beans (Matki). Native to the arid deserts of Rajasthan, this small, brown-colored bean is a powerhouse of protein and calcium. It is famous for its nutty flavor and its incredible ability to sprout into long, delicate threads.
For the Indian diaspora, Matki is non-negotiable. It is the star ingredient of “Misal Pav,” the spicy curry dish from Maharashtra that has gained global popularity. We understand that Matki is prone to containing small mud balls due to the sandy soil it grows in. That is why we supply strictly Sortex Cleaned beans, ensuring 100% purity so your customers can enjoy their sprouts without the risk of biting into a stone.

Why Choose Siya Agri Exports for Moth Beans?

• Elite Germination for Vibrant Sprouts

Moth beans are predominantly used after undergoing a germination cycle. Inferior, aged, or heat-damaged stocks stall inside processing arrays, quickly turning mushy and emitting off-odors.

Our Guarantee: We selectively source fresh-crop material from Rajasthan that ensures vigorous biological activity. When hydrated, our beans generate long, delicate, and crunchy threads within a rapid 12–18 hour window—perfectly optimizing turnaround times for the premium sprouted health food sectors (Usal/Misal).

• 100% Sand, Stone & Mud-Lump Free Guarantee

Because moth beans thrive natively in arid, desert terrains, the raw harvest naturally carries small sand stones and matching mud balls that perfectly mirror the color and shape of the legume, completely evading standard mechanical screens.

Our Solution: We implement an exhaustive cleaning matrix utilizing advanced high-capacity Gravity Separators and industrial Destoners alongside precision optical Sortex machinery. This process guarantees 100% clean cargo, protecting downstream consumers and retail brands from contaminant hazards.

• Applications & Uses

Misal Pav Hospitality: Sourced as the prime foundation ingredient across retail and restaurant channels for slow-cooking into traditional spicy stews topped with crunchy farsan savory elements.

Superfood Sprout Salads: Eaten raw or lightly blanched with citrus juices and spice blends as a dense, high-protein and high-calcium vegan breakfast choice.

Savory Snack Manufacturing (Namkeen): Deep-fried and flash-seasoned smoothly by industrial snack plants to forge the crunchy core base for global lines like Dal Moth and Bikaneri Bhujia.

Everyday Curries: Prepared cleanly as a flavorful, dry vegetable stew (Matki Usal) within commercial food service and household networks.

• Safe Sea Logistics & Packing Flexibility

Moth beans inherently develop under a low biological moisture layout, rendering them exceptionally dry and shelf-stable raw materials.

The Layout: Maintaining strict internal moisture boundaries under 10–11%, our cargo resists fungal development flawlessly over extended ocean freight journeys. We maximize container capacity to load a dense 24–25 MT within standard 20ft hulls, offering bulk supply inside 25 kg or 50 kg PP bags, or specialized 500g and 1kg branded packets ready for international grocery shelves.
