Potatoes

Egypt grows potatoes twice a year, and the winter crop — harvested from January — is the one that travels best to Europe and the Gulf. Spunta gives the elongated, shallow-eyed tuber retail buyers ask for; Diamant brings higher dry matter for chipping and roasting.

Every lot is washed, graded over rollers and hand-checked for greening, cut surfaces and hollow heart before packing. We ship in ventilated bags or cartons with good air movement, because potatoes that sweat in transit arrive with soft rot and a rejected container. Cold storage is held at 4–6 °C for table stock and 8–10 °C for processing stock to protect fry colour.
