Ask any Egyptian abroad what taste of home they miss most and molokhia is usually the answer. This finely minced jute-leaf green — the base of Egypt’s beloved emerald soup — travels the world in frozen form, and Nile Prime, PEI Trade’s export brand, produces the authentic article: Egyptian-grown jute leaves, minced and frozen at origin. We supply importers and ethnic-food distributors in full reefer volumes, strictly B2B.
Why Egyptian Frozen Molokhia?
Molokhia is Egyptian by identity — buyers in Arab diaspora markets across the Gulf, Europe, North America and Australia actively look for Egyptian origin on the pack, and demand keeps growing with every wave of migration. Our leaves are harvested young, stripped from the stem, washed and minced to the traditional fine texture, then frozen immediately so the vivid green colour and characteristic silkiness survive the journey to the pot.
