Dehydrated Chikoo from India — sourced, graded and export-ready.
Dehydrated Chikoo (Sapodilla) is a unique, highly sweet Indian specialty that is
gaining vast international popularity as both a standalone chewy snack and a
powerful natural sweetener. Harvested ripe from Gujarat and Maharashtra, the
dehydrated fruit showcases a dense, caramel-brown flesh. The Chikoo powder
variant acts as an excellent, unrefined natural sugar alternative for smoothies
and desserts.

From trial samples to multi-container annual contracts, every lot is cleaned, graded and quality-checked before shipment — with a Certificate of Analysis, phytosanitary certificate and full export documentation included.
