Egyptian Frozen Spinach for Export
Egypt’s cool-season spinach — broad, dark-green leaves grown in the Delta’s winter fields — makes excellent raw material for freezing: high leaf-to-stem ratio, deep colour and clean flavour. Harvested young, washed in multiple stages, blanched and frozen within hours, Egyptian frozen spinach delivers the colour retention and low-grit standard that food manufacturers, caterers and retail brands demand, at pricing that consistently undercuts European processors.
PEIVANA supplies frozen spinach from audited Egyptian freezing plants and, true to our flexible-exporter model, we rarely insist you take a full container of one item. Frozen spinach pairs naturally with frozen okra, molokhia, mixed vegetables or strawberries in a single -18°C load — one booking, several SKUs, better cash flow.
Varieties & Grades
We offer IQF leaf spinach (individually frozen whole or cut leaves that stay free-flowing for foodservice and retail bags), chopped spinach in blocks (compact frozen blocks for industrial kitchens and manufacturers) and portioned spinach (small tablets/portions, convenient for retail and precise dosing). All grades are stem-controlled, colour-sorted and metal-detected, with blanching validated for peroxidase inactivation.

Season & Availability
The raw crop is harvested and processed through the Egyptian winter, and frozen stocks are carried in cold stores so shipment is available year-round. Private label and custom cut specifications are produced during the packing season against confirmed contracts.
Logistics & Shipping
Frozen spinach ships in reefer containers running at -18°C continuously, with data loggers on request. We load from Alexandria, Damietta, Sokhna and Port Said, serving Gulf buyers on short Red Sea transits, Europe on direct Mediterranean services, and Asian and African markets on standard frozen lanes. Mixed frozen containers across our IQF range are a routine service, not an exception.
Quality & Documentation
Shipments carry a certificate of origin, health/veterinary-style export certificates as required by the destination, and phytosanitary documentation where applicable. Product comes from HACCP/ISO-certified freezing plants — BRC-certified facilities available for retail programs — with raw material from GLOBALG.A.P-certified partner farms, full lot traceability and microbiological and pesticide-residue analysis per shipment specification.
