Product Overview

String hoppers, also called idiyappam, are thin rice-flour noodles pressed into small flat nests and steamed. This version is dehydrated so that it can be stored and shipped at room temperature. The listed ingredients are white rice flour, blue butterfly pea flower and salt. The butterfly pea flower gives the noodles their blue colour. The origin is listed as Sri Lanka. Dried string hoppers are prepared again before serving, usually by soaking or steaming until soft; ask for the preparation instructions. They are eaten with curries, sambols and coconut milk gravies. Ethnic grocery importers and retailers stock them for South Asian customers, and restaurants and caterers use them where fresh string hoppers are not practical. The packaging list covers vacuum-sealed pouches, moisture-proof polybags, reusable stand-up pouches, paper packaging, retail cardboard boxes and bulk export cartons. Private label packing is listed as available. Quotes are given FOB or CIF Colombo, and you can ask for the order terms with your quotation.
