FAQ
Romanta small green lentils (3.5mm to 4.5mm) cook substantially faster (25 to 30 minutes) than larger calibers. The higher skin-to-endosperm ratio delivers a more pronounced earthy flavor profile and naturally thickens purees and culinary soups, whereas large lentils are primarily chosen for rice pilafs (Adas Polo) where distinct grain separation is required.
Employing fine rotary screening sieves and optical sortation protocols, split and fractured grains are strictly held under 0.4% per commercial batch. This minimal defect threshold ensures visual uniformity in wholesale displays and prevents premature mushiness during commercial meal preparation.
The minimum procurement quantity is 1,000kg (1 metric ton in 25kg bags). For export destinations across the Persian Gulf, Russia, and Turkey, Romanta provides tailored multi-language printing on laminated sacks, complying with destination customs regulations and delivered in palletized container loads.
Every incoming batch is tested in compliance with INSO and Codex Alimentarius guidelines. Analyses include GC-MS screenings for organochlorine and organophosphate pesticides, alongside atomic absorption spectrometry for heavy metals (lead, cadmium). Shipments are released exclusively after QA laboratory clearance.
Upon intake into storage silos, lentil stocks undergo controlled phosphine fumigation in hermetically sealed chambers, neutralizing any dormant eggs or larvae. Combined with regulated grain moisture kept under 12.0% and insulated temperature controls, the product remains shielded against weevil re-infestation.
Gentle post-harvest curing prevents internal microscopic micro-fissuring of the cotyledon. Consequently, during rigorous industrial kettle stirring and extended thermal holding, the epidermal layer remains firmly anchored to the endosperm, preventing unwanted mushiness or detached floating skins.
