Buy Ethiopia Spinach Directly From Exporters & Suppliers - Best of 2024 Market Prices

The term, spinach, dates back to1300-A.D., with the most popular naming theory being that the term ‘espinarc’ means ‘green hand.’ Indeed, the main varieties of the plant have dark green leaves with visible white veins. The origin may have been Persia (modern-day Iran) on unknown dates but the first distribution area was 647 A.D. in Nepal, south-east Asia. In royalty, Catherine de Medici favored the spinach more than any other vegetable. Though the kale of the different brassica family originated in Ethiopia 4000 years ago, it is not clear when the similar-looking spinach came to the country.

We source our Ethiopia spinach from family growers in the highlands of Tigray. The farmers in the area supplement rain water with pond reserves that bring the vegetables moisture during dry times, using canals. We also get spinach from the southern market town of Arba Minch, which together with Sodo, another marketplace in the south, are some of the biggest regional vegetable suppliers in the country.

Spinach is rich in virtually all major vitamins led by vitamin K, important for blood clotting, at a whooping 460 percent of the daily value. Vitamin C is available at 34 percent of the daily value, while vitamin A for clear eyesight stands at 59 percent of the daily nutritional needs. Vitamin B2 riboflavin in Ethiopia spinach is 16 percent while folate is 49 percent. Calcium (10 percent), iron (21 percent), manganese (43 percent) and potassium (12 percent) are the major mineral contents in the vegetable.

We pack our Ethiopia spinach in small sizes of around 5 pounds (2.26 kilograms). We keep the fresh leaves in 1/2 bushel boxes with at least 12 bunches of the green leaves in each package. We also have larger packages of 13 pounds or roughly 7 kilograms that come in sizable boxes.

We seal each produce box with top ice to keep the vegetable in the same condition as in the field. In cases of high temperature, we keep liquid ice that is about 2.2 pounds for every 2 kilograms of spinach leaves. This provision prolongs the shelf life of the leaves by a high duration on transit by air.
