Description
String hoppers (idiyappam) are one of Sri Lanka’s everyday breakfasts and dinners: fine rice-flour noodles pressed into small rounds and steamed. Making them fresh takes time, so Sri Lankan food makers now press, steam and dry them into ready rounds that only need a few minutes of steaming. This is a different product from the string hopper flour sold on our rice flour listing: here the hoppers are already made.
What we supply
- Dried string hopper rounds from white or red rice
- Rice vermicelli for stir-fries and kiribath-style dishes
- Variants with kurakkan (finger millet) on request
Quality points
Ask for moisture and microbiology results with the quote. Dried rounds are light but fragile, so they are packed in rigid retail packs inside export cartons.
Who buys it
Sri Lankan and South Indian grocery importers, restaurants that serve hoppers and curry, and food brands building a ready-meal range.
Private label
