Quality Standards for Exported Cauliflower:
At Africa Harvest Exporters, we maintain exacting quality standards for our exported cauliflower, carefully hand-selecting each head to ensure it meets our stringent criteria.
Our exported cauliflower boasts a tight, compact curd with a uniform white or creamy-white colour, depending on the cultivar.
Key characteristics include a firm texture, freedom from blemishes, discoloration, and signs of disease or pest damage.
Each head is carefully protected by healthy, green wrapper leaves, which play a crucial role in maintaining freshness and preventing damage during transit.
To maximize shelf life, we employ specialized handling and storage procedures, including pre-cooling and controlled environment storage.
Our growers also prioritize heat-tolerant varieties with excellent wrapper leaf protection, ensuring that our exported cauliflower consistently meets the highest quality standards.
