IQF Frozen Strawberries from Egypt

Egyptian IQF frozen strawberries are one of Nabtta’s flagship export products, supplying premium quality frozen strawberries to buyers in Russia, Turkey, Serbia, Greece, and across Europe. Grown during Egypt’s winter season in the Nile Delta’s Ismailia and Beheira governorates, Egyptian strawberries benefit from cool ripening temperatures and high sunlight hours that produce fruit with deep red color, concentrated natural sweetness, and firm flesh — the characteristics that set Egyptian strawberries apart from competing origins.
