Beetroot from India — sourced, graded and export-ready.
Indian Beetroot (Chukandar) is celebrated for its incredibly deep, uniform
dark-red color and high natural sugar content (measuring 8-12 Brix). Grown
predominantly in Maharashtra and Gujarat, our export beetroots are topped
(leaves removed), thoroughly washed, and closely graded to provide a firm,
earthy, and highly nutritious root vegetable prized in global salads and health
juices.
Aethon Overseas supplies beetroot available as red beetroot (standard), baby beetroot, yellow / golden beetroot, beetroot powder. 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.
