Buying frozen okra from Egypt for foodservice and retail
Okra (bamia) is one of Egypt’s largest frozen vegetable exports, and the grade you order decides how the pod behaves on the plate. Small grades stay firm and whole in stews and ready meals; larger grades suit soups and home-style cooking where a softer pod is wanted. We sort by pod length, then individually quick freeze, so pods stay separate and free-flowing instead of freezing into a block. Importers, foodservice distributors and retail packers take the same product in bulk cartons, catering bags or 400 g retail bags.
