Tropical Roots was born from the collective concern of a few visionary individuals who recognized the declining quality of food products in the market — including poor hygiene during production, wastage of agricultural produce due to inefficient in-house cold chain systems, and the lack of adherence to global food production standards.
As a responsible South Indian food manufacturer, Tropical Roots has adopted a practical, quality-first approach to delivering freshness in every product. From frozen Kerala vegetables, fruits, and grains to spices and other ingredients, everything is carefully picked, cleaned, and processed under prescribed temperature-controlled conditions. Our commitment to hygiene is unwavering, supported by high-tech equipment and skilled, trained professionals.
We specialize in a wide range of frozen food products — including heat and eat frozen food products, ready to eat frozen products, and ready to cook food — all crafted to reflect the rich culinary heritage of Kerala. Our offerings include popular items like frozen Kerala porotta, frozen tapioca, frozen Kerala snacks, jackfruit products, and other plant-based products, many of which are vegan ready to eat products. We also take pride in being a preservative-free food manufacturer, ensuring clean-label options for health-conscious consumers.
Tropical Roots products are sold across regional and national markets and exported globally. With authentic recipes and indigenous raw materials, we bring the flavors of frozen Indian meals to global citizens, delivering unforgettable taste experiences through our wide range of products, including premium frozen coconut products.
