Dehydrated Spinach from India — sourced, graded and export-ready.
Spinach is a globally recognized superfood, and our dehydrated spinach powder
acts as an incredibly versatile, highly concentrated source of iron, vitamins,
and deep green chlorophyll. Made from premium, thoroughly washed flat-leaf
Palak, this fine green powder is indispensable for the nutraceutical industry,
baby food producers, and as a natural green food coloring for high-end pasta and
bakery goods.
Aethon Overseas supplies dehydrated spinach available as fine spinach powder, coarse spinach flakes. 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.
