Wholesale Frozen Pomegranate Arils from Egypt: A Bulk Buying Guide

Bulk IQF frozen pomegranate arils from Egypt in a 10 kg carton – Egy Berries

In short: Egy Berries supplies frozen (IQF) pomegranate arils by the carton and by the container, not as single retail bags. The standard bulk unit is a 1 × 10 kg carton, with food-service bags and private-label retail bags packed from the same arils on request. Fresh pomegranates are harvested and frozen in Egypt from August to October, and stock ships from cold store all year. This guide is for horeca, patisserie, ice-cream and catering buyers, and for retailers building a private-label frozen pomegranate line, who want to buy by the pallet or container rather than by the bag.

Wholesale and retail are two different searches

Search "frozen pomegranate arils" online and most results are consumer retail products: a supermarket's own bag, priced per unit, sold to a home cook. That makes sense — most people typing that phrase want a bag for their own kitchen. A wholesale buyer wants something different: a direct relationship with the IQF manufacturer, a specification sheet, a price per carton or per container, and often a private-label option. Egy Berries supplies that second market directly from its own plant in Sadat City — horeca and patisserie kitchens, ice-cream and gelato makers, catering companies and retailers building their own frozen pomegranate line.

What a bulk order looks like

Bulk: 1 × 10 kg carton — the standard wholesale unit, palletised and loaded by the container in reefer shipments.
Food service: 10 × 1 kg or 4 × 2.5 kg bags per carton, for kitchens that want smaller working bags instead of a single 10 kg block.
Retail / private label: 20 × 400 g bags per carton, under the Egy Berries brand or packed to your own brand, bag size and artwork.

We don't publish a fixed minimum order quantity. In practice wholesale quantities are scaled to a pallet or a full container load for export shipments, and we quote against the volume, pack format and destination you send us.

Season and supply

Fresh pomegranates for arils are harvested in Egypt from August to October. Egy Berries extracts the arils, individually quick freezes them and holds stock at −18 °C or below, then ships from cold store through the rest of the year — so a wholesale order can be placed at any time, not only during the harvest window. Full product specifications are on the Frozen Pomegranate Arils page.

Quality for bulk buyers

Arils are cleaned of pith and peel, then individually quick frozen (IQF) so they stay loose and free-flowing in the bag rather than freezing into a block — important when a kitchen needs to portion a working bag quickly. No sugar or preservatives are added. Hand sorting and laboratory checks follow each stage of production, consistent with our FSSC 22000, ISO 22000, ISO 9001, HACCP and GLOBALG.A.P. certifications and our registrations with the US FDA and China GACC.

HS code and customs

Frozen pomegranate arils are classified under HS 0811 90, frozen fruit not elsewhere specified. The eight- to ten-digit extension is set by the destination tariff, so confirm the full code with your own customs broker before shipment. Our guide to HS codes for frozen fruit and vegetables from Egypt covers the rest of the range.
