The grade
Terai sal seed collection.
Whole Shorea robusta seed hand-collected from natural forest by primary tribal collectors and sun-dried at village level, traded de-winged and unshelled, as distinct from mechanically decorticated kernel or expeller-pressed sal fat; no international grading standard exists, so oil content, moisture and foreign-matter percentage carry the quality signal.
Specification
One grade at one delivery point. Grades, origins and windows outside this line are priced on request.
