Buying frozen whole molokhia leaves
Molokhia (jute mallow) is a staple of Egyptian and Levantine kitchens, and importers choose between whole leaves and chopped. Whole IQF leaves leave the texture decision to the kitchen: the chef chops coarsely for a rustic soup or finely for a smooth, thick molokhia. The leaves are picked young and individually quick frozen so they stay green and separate. Retailers in Europe, North America and the Gulf sell them to Egyptian and Arab households, while distributors supply the same product to restaurants in catering bags.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between whole and chopped molokhia?
Whole leaves are frozen intact and chopped in the kitchen, so the texture is the chef’s choice. Chopped molokhia is minced before freezing and cooks straight from the bag.
What is the HS code for frozen molokhia?
Frozen molokhia leaves fall under HS 0710 80, other frozen vegetables. The 8 to 10 digit extension depends on the destination tariff.
When is molokhia in season in Egypt?
The crop runs May to September. We freeze at harvest and ship from cold store through the year.
Can you pack molokhia under our own brand?
Yes. Retail bags of 400 g carry the Egy Berries brand, and private label with your artwork, bag sizes and labels is available on request.
