detail

Item IdentityBroad beans are a type of legume that utilizes immature green seeds, pods, or mature dried seeds for food.
Core separationDistinguishes green beans, frozen green beans, dried whole kernels, shelled kernels, split kernels, powder, and protein materials.
Main usesRice and mixed grains, braised, stir-fried, and snacks, soups and pastes, frozen vegetables, powders and bakery products, and plant-based protein materials.
Purchase criteriaHarvesting stage, color, particle size, and wholeness, peeling and splitting status, moisture, foreign matter and pests, soaking and boiling properties, taste and texture, and inspection history.
Key RiskMixing of green and dried broad beans, failure to distinguish between variety groups and seed sizes, deterioration of quality during long-term storage, moisture, pests, and foreign matter, and discontinuity of origin, labeling, and inspection documents.
Operational directionIt links Product Master by application, Lot history, cooking and processing tests, supplier, processor, and buyer RFQs, and repurchase data.

Broad beans are legumes like chickpeas and lentils, but  they are items for which there may be separate demand for green seeds and frozen vegetables . Therefore, unlike No. 021 and No. 022, which focus on dried seeds, additional management is performed on the harvesting stage, freezing process, and cold chain distribution fields.

Inspection and ShipmentInspection Report · Lot ID · Packing Date · Shipment HistoryDelivery and Claim Tracking

The quality of broad beans is not judged solely by the country of origin and color.  It is checked whether they are green or dried, the harvest year, moisture content, hulling and splitting status, storage history, boiling ability, and texture after cooking .
