Pavta Papdi (Val Papdi / Hyacinth Beans)

Welcome to Siya Agri Exports LLP, your source for the sweetest and tenderest green beans from the fields of Gujarat-Pavta Papdi.

Also known as Val Papdi or Surti Papdi, these are flat green beans that house delicious, creamy beans inside. Unlike the regular French Bean, Pavta Papdi has a distinct rustic flavor and a richer texture.

We export the highly prized "Surti Variety", which is known for being Tender and Stringless. The pods are soft enough to eat whole, and the beans inside (Pavta) are sweet and buttery. It is the hero ingredient of the legendary Gujarati dish "Undhiyu" and a favorite in Indian households globally during the winter season.

Why Choose Siya Agri Exports for Pavta Papdi?

The "Undhiyu" Quality

Surti Special: True connoisseurs know that for Undhiyu, you need "Surti Papdi"-the small, tender 3-seeded pods. We source directly from the Surat and Valsad belts in Gujarat, ensuring you get the authentic variety that cooks fast and tastes sweet, not the fibrous wild varieties.

Stringless & Tender

Ease of Cooking: A bad bean is tough and stringy. We ensure our harvest is done early. Our Papdi snaps easily, and the fibrous "string" on the side is minimal, saving the consumer prep time and providing a better mouthfeel.

Applications & Uses

Undhiyu: The classic mixed vegetable casserole of Gujarat. Pavta Papdi is the main base.

Val Papdi Nu Shaak: A simple, spicy stir-fry made with ajwain (carom seeds).

Sambar / Avial: Used in South India for lentils and coconut stews.

Shelled Beans (Pavta): The seeds are removed and cooked like fresh peas in curries (Pavta Batata).

Logistics & Packaging

Air Freight Essential: Since this is a winter seasonal item with high moisture, it stays fresh for only 3-4 days at room temperature. We recommend Air Freight to ensuring it lands green and crisp.

Ventilation: We pack in ventilated boxes to prevent sweating, which can cause the beans to rust (turn brown).
