Grown in Egypt, packed to EU spec, shipped on your calendar.

Egyptian Baladi sweet potatoes are graded First Class A and cured before packing — the curing step thickens skin, heals minor abrasions, and dramatically extends shelf life. Two flesh-colour options: white and red/orange. Tuber size lands in the 300–600 g range, suiting EU retail mesh-bag and wholesale carton programs. Specs meet and exceed EU class 1 standards. Cold chain is 13–15 °C — never below 12 °C, where chilling injury sets in.
