Advantages of IQF frozen vegetables
IQF technology can be said to be the "gold standard" in the field of frozen vegetables. Simply put, it's not about freezing vegetables into a big "ice brick", but about keeping each pea and broccoli in an independent and loose state. Compared to traditional freezing methods or fresh vegetables purchased from the market, IQF frozen vegetables have the following significant advantages: 1 Nutritious locking freshness, even surpassing freshness 🥦 This may be the biggest advantage of IQF vegetables. Peak nutrition: Fresh vegetables continuously consume vitamin C and folate through respiration during transportation and shelving. IQF vegetables are usually harvested when they are at their highest maturity and nutrient rich, and immediately cleaned and frozen. Data comparison: Studies have shown that due to severe nutrient loss of fresh vegetables after being stored at room temperature for a few days (such as spinach with significant folate loss after being stored for 3 days), the vitamin C and folate retention rates of IQF frozen vegetables are often higher than those of "fresh" vegetables stored in supermarkets for several days. Pause key effect: Rapid freezing is equivalent to pressing the 'pause key' to prevent nutrient loss in vegetables. two Perfect preservation of taste and texture 🧊 Reject the harm caused by "large ice crystals": Traditional slow freezing can form huge ice crystals, piercing the cell walls of vegetables, resulting in a soft and rotten taste and water release after thawing. IQF technology utilizes strong cold air or liquid nitrogen ranging from -30 ° C to -50 ° C to rapidly reduce the center temperature of vegetables to below -18 ° C within a very short period of time (usually within 30 minutes). Tiny ice crystals: This rapid cooling process forms tiny ice crystals that do not damage cell structure. Therefore, IQF vegetables (such as broccoli and diced carrots) can still maintain a crispy and tender taste after cooking, with a high degree of restoration. three Ultimate convenience: grab as much as you want 🥄 Separate monomers and refuse clumping: You must have encountered the embarrassment of wanting to grab a handful of frozen peas, only to pick out a large chunk of ice. IQF technology ensures that each vegetable particle is distinct and does not adhere to each other. No need to thaw: When cooking, there is no need to thaw in advance. Simply pour it out of the bag and put it into the pot (steaming, stir frying, boiling are all acceptable).
