Barbatti / Boda — Hill-Grown Beans and Pulses
HS Code: 07133990 (Dried Beans — Other)
These beans are cultivated in naturally
biodiverse
hill
farming
systems
by
smallholder tribal households in the Raj
Mahal Hills. Production quantities are
deliberately limited, with seasonal availability
generally ranging from 500 to 1,000 kilograms,
ensuring exclusivity and traceability. The beans are hand-picked and sun-dried, and no chemical preservatives or polishing agents are applied. They are
suitable for dal preparation, curry dishes,
blended protein foods, sprouted applications
and health-oriented culinary use. Under
proper storage in moisture-free conditions,
the beans retain quality for 12 to 18 months.
They are recognised as a high-value plant
protein source with dietary fibre and micronutrient benefits, aligning strongly
with premium slow-food, organic-leaning and sustainable-procurement food
programs. |
