Supplying the French Market with Authentic Frozen Molokhia

PEI Trade is a trusted Egyptian exporter specializing in high-quality frozen molokhia (jute leaves), delivered in EU-compliant packaging to importers and distributors across France.

From the agricultural fields of the Nile Valley to food distribution hubs in Paris, Marseille, and Lyon, we manage every stage of the export process with precision. Our molokhia is cultivated using traditional farming techniques, harvested at peak maturity, and frozen using modern IQF (Individually Quick Frozen) technology. This ensures consistent flavor, vivid green color, and full preservation of the plant’s natural properties—all without artificial preservatives.

We supply to:

  • Ethnic and Mediterranean grocery chains
  • Frozen food distributors
  • Food processors and ready-meal brands
  • Restaurant and catering wholesalers

PEI Trade’s commitment to quality, traceability, and efficiency has made us a dependable partner for European businesses looking for authentic, export-grade Egyptian produce.

What Sets Our Frozen Molokhia Apart?

Frozen molokhia from PEI Trade is known for its natural taste and convenience in professional and household kitchens alike. The jute leaves are processed in a hygienic environment certified to international food safety standards (HACCP, ISO 22000). Our facilities operate under continuous quality control to eliminate any impurities before freezing.

Key product specifications:

  • 100% natural jute leaves
  • Washed, sorted, and finely chopped
  • Flash-frozen within hours of harvest using IQF
  • No added preservatives, colors, or chemical stabilizers
  • Available in coarse or fine cut formats

Our goal is to preserve the molokhia’s signature taste and soft texture, ensuring each batch is ready for use in soups, stews, and pre-packaged meals.
