Pumpkin String Hoppers (Dehydrated)

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, pumpkin powder and salt. The earlier listing described the vegetable as white pumpkin (ash gourd, or alu puhul), so ask which one is used. The origin is listed as Sri Lanka. Dried string hoppers need to be softened before they are served, usually by soaking or steaming; ask for the preparation instructions. They go with curries, sambols and coconut milk gravies. Ethnic grocery importers and retailers sell them to South Asian households, and restaurants and caterers use them in place of fresh ones. 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. Ask for the order terms with your quotation. Quotes are given FOB or CIF Colombo. Tell us which export documents your customs authority requires.
