Radish from India — sourced, graded and export-ready.
The large, elongated White Radish (commonly called Daikon or Mooli) is a winter
staple in India. Boasting a crisp, slightly peppery flavor with high water
content, it is heavily exported to Asian communities worldwide for use in
salads, pickles, and traditional parathas. We also supply smaller round red
radishes, carefully harvesting them before they become pithy.
Aethon Overseas supplies radish available as white daikon / mooli, red radish / round, icicle radish. 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.
