Product Overview

String hoppers, also called idiyappam, are thin rice-flour noodles pressed into small flat, round nests and steamed. They are a staple of Sri Lankan and South Indian meals, eaten with curries, sambols and coconut milk gravies. The listed ingredient for this product is white raw rice, and the nests are white. The origin is listed as Sri Lanka. The packaging list mentions both vacuum-sealed packs and frozen poly-bags, so ask whether you will receive a dried or a frozen product and how it should be stored and prepared. Ethnic grocery importers and retailers stock string hoppers for South Asian customers. Restaurants and caterers use them for breakfast and dinner service, and ready-meal producers pair them with curries. The packaging list covers vacuum-sealed packs, frozen poly-bags, rigid plastic trays and bulk catering boxes. Private label packing is listed as available. Tell us whether your supply chain can take frozen goods or whether you need a product that ships at room temperature. Ask for the order terms with your quotation. Quotes are given FOB or CIF Colombo. If you need a product specification sheet, ask for it when you enquire, and tell us which export documents your customs authority requires. To buy white string hoppers, send a quote request from this page or through the How to order page, stating the quantity, pack size, destination port and any documents you need.
