Tender pods the size of a fingertip — that is what okra buyers in the Gulf and Europe pay a premium for, and Egyptian growers have perfected it. Nile Prime, the export brand of PEI Trade, ships IQF frozen okra in zero and extra sizes to importers, ethnic-food distributors and food-service suppliers worldwide, frozen whole at origin within hours of picking. All supply is B2B, in full reefer-container volumes.
Why Egyptian Frozen Okra?
Egypt harvests okra young, when pods are smallest and most tender — the “zero” grade prized in Middle Eastern cuisine. Hand selection removes fibrous or damaged pods before IQF freezing, so pods stay whole, green and free-flowing in the bag rather than clumped or slimy. With demand from Arab, Mediterranean and South Asian communities growing across Europe and North America, Egyptian okra is a dependable, repeat-order product for frozen-food ranges.

FAQ
Can I combine okra with other frozen items?
Yes. The MOQ is one 40 ft reefer, and mixed loads with molokhia, spinach, strawberries or mixed vegetables are a popular way to fill it.
Are samples available before I commit?
We ship frozen samples or provide detailed lot photos, size counts and lab reports so you can approve quality ahead of contract.
