Description
Black chana is a firm, earthy chickpea that holds its shape when cooked. Soak it overnight for slow-cooked curries such as kala chana masala, or sprout it for salads and chaats. It is naturally rich in plant protein and dietary fibre.
Why Dang is different. Dang is a forested, mostly tribal district in southeastern Gujarat. In November 2021 the state declared it a natural farming district, where farmers are encouraged to use natural inputs such as Jeevamrit in place of chemical fertilisers and pesticides. This grain comes from farming families there.

Why is farming in Dang, Gujarat different?
Dang is a forested, mostly tribal district in southeastern Gujarat where farming has traditionally been low input. In November 2021 the Gujarat government declared it a natural farming district. Farmers there are encouraged to replace chemical fertilisers and pesticides with natural inputs such as Jeevamrit and Ghan Jeevamrit, and the state supports them with annual assistance per hectare. We buy our rice, toor dal, black chana and whole green moong directly from farming families in Dang, a region where natural farming is actively promoted by the state.
What offers can I use?
Festive offer: use the code DIWALI20 for 20% off single products on orders of ₹1,000 or more. Bundles are already priced 20% below MRP. Offers do not stack, so you get whichever saves more. This festive offer is for a limited time and ends when the Diwali sale closes.
Is delivery free?
Delivery is free on all orders within Mumbai. For other locations, delivery charges are shown at checkout.
What does "naturally grown" mean for Earth N Essence?
Our rice, toor dal, black chana and whole green moong are grown by farming families in Dang, Gujarat following the region's traditional agricultural practices, and processed with minimal intervention so each grain keeps its natural character. Our gluten free flours and groundnut oil are not from Dang.
What if I'm not happy with my order?
Our Purity Promise: tell us within 7 days of delivery and we will replace the pack or refund you in full.
