Broccoli from India — sourced, graded and export-ready.
Cultivated in environmentally controlled environments and the cooler belts of
India, our export-grade broccoli features tightly packed, domed heads with a
vibrant dark-green to purplish-green hue. Highly prized for its nutritional
density (Vitamin K, C, and fiber), our broccoli is immediately cooled
post-harvest to prevent yellowing or floret opening during transit.
Aethon Overseas supplies broccoli available as green broccoli (standard), tenderstem / bimi broccoli, broccoli florets. 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.
