IQF Frozen Strawberries
Frozen Strawberries from Egypt
Strawberries are the heart of Egy Berries. We grow them in Egypt and individually quick freeze (IQF) them at peak ripeness, so every berry keeps its red colour, shape, sweetness and aroma. Our frozen strawberries are used by importers, wholesalers, bakeries, dairy and juice producers and food service companies. We grow the Festival and Fortuna varieties and harvest from December to June.
