Wholesale produce for South Asian restaurants in the GTA.
Quick answer
South Asian kitchens run on a short list of heavy lines, mainly onions, tomatoes, garlic, ginger, green chilies and cilantro. Fresh Wholesale delivers those in the pack sizes busy kitchens use, before your prep starts, and quotes your actual list line by line.
What does a South Asian kitchen order most?
A handful of items carry most of the weekly bill. Onions move by the sack, tomatoes by the case, and garlic and ginger by the pound or the case. Herbs like cilantro and mint go by the bunch or the case, and fresh chilies, cauliflower, okra, potatoes, eggplant and lemons round out the order.

Why do pack size and consistency matter so much?
When onions and tomatoes are a third of your produce spend, a sack that is short of its stated weight or a case of tomatoes that is half soft shows up directly in food cost. Consistency from week to week matters more than a one-off low price, because your prep and your menu pricing depend on it.
We check each order before it is loaded, and we quote on matching pack sizes so the comparison with your current invoice is fair.
How do we work with a busy kitchen?
You send the order by 5pm, it arrives before you open, and the person on the other end knows what you ordered last week. If a case is not right, tell us and we make it right.
