Dehydrated Vegetables

Tomato, carrot, beetroot, cabbage, chilli, mint & curry leaf

Beyond the onion and garlic lines, CBIL brokers the wider dehydrated vegetable and leaf range from Indian processing hubs: tomato flakes, dice and powder; carrot dice and flakes; beetroot dice, flakes and powder; cabbage flakes; green chilli flakes and powder; and air-dried mint and curry leaf. Buyers come to this page rather than the onion or garlic pages for one of two reasons — they are building a soup, noodle or ready-meal vegetable mix and need several lines matched to one rehydration profile and dice size, or they need a colour rather than a flavour. Beetroot and tomato are bought largely for colour load and both are unforgiving: tomato is hygroscopic and cakes if the moisture or the packing barrier slips, and beetroot pigment fades with heat, so both are hot-air dried on a controlled profile and belong in lined, sealed cartons rather than open bags.

The leaf lines behave differently again. Mint and curry leaf are air-dried rather than hot-air dried, because heat strips the volatile aroma that is the entire purpose of buying them, and leaf carries a higher microbiological load than diced root vegetables — so steam-sterilised or ETO-free formats matter more here than anywhere else in the family. Matching dice size across a mix is the practical detail buyers most often miss: a 6 mm carrot dice and a 10 mm cabbage flake will not rehydrate together in a 5-minute noodle cup, and the result is a hard carrot in a finished bowl. Tell us the rehydration window and we will size the cuts to it. Product is metal-detected and sieve-graded, arranged against SGS certification of moisture, SO₂ (≤ 15 ppm or SO₂-free), ash, colour, and micro including Salmonella absent in 25 g. Supply is structured in 10kg and 20kg lined cartons and fibre drums, container-load, on FOB, CFR and CIF terms — these are light, bulky lines that cube out well before they weigh out.
