Cauliflower from India — sourced, graded and export-ready.
Indian cauliflower features firm, large, and densely packed curds boasting a
distinctive creamy-white color. Sourced from optimal growing regions during the
winter months, we carefully trim the outer green leaves to protect the head
during transit. Highly demanded for fresh market sales and processing into
low-carb food alternatives.
Aethon Overseas supplies cauliflower available as white cauliflower, coloured cauliflower, cauliflower 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.
