Jerusalem Artichoke — Export Quality from India
Jerusalem Artichoke FROM INDIA
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.
