FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about sourcing dried fig from Aethon Overseas.

Indian dried figs are graded based on their size (diameter) and color. We offer 'AAA' (Large), 'AA' (Medium), and 'A' (Standard) grades. Common export forms include 'Garland' (disk-shaped on a string) and 'Layer' (flat-packed) to suit different retail needs.

Our premium figs are primarily sourced from the Pune and Purandar regions of Maharashtra. This belt is famous for the 'Poona Fig' variety, which is known for its juicy pulp and thin skin, making it ideal for drying.

Dried figs have a shelf life of 12 months when stored in a cool, dry place (below 10°C). We maintain strict moisture levels (around 18-20%) and use moisture-barrier packaging to prevent fermentation and maintain the soft texture.

Dry figs are highly valued in the health supplement industry for their high fiber content. They are also a popular ingredient in artisanal chocolates, high-end bakery products, and as a natural energy booster for athletes.
