Jerusalem Artichoke from India — sourced, graded and export-ready.
Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus) — known locally in India as Kand or
Suran-type tuber — is a knobby, nutty-flavoured root vegetable gaining traction
in health food and specialty produce markets globally. Rich in inulin (a
prebiotic fibre), it is valued for digestive health benefits. Aethon Overseas
exports premium Jerusalem artichoke from Maharashtra and Gujarat, where the
tubers are grown in well-drained black cotton soil that produces dense, starchy,
flavourful knobs. Available fresh or in dehydrated slice format.
Aethon Overseas supplies jerusalem artichoke available as fresh whole jerusalem artichoke, dehydrated jerusalem artichoke slices. 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.
