ADD ASIAN ESSENCE WITH IQF GINGER

MOMENCE, ILLINOIS… (April 17, 2007)…Frozen ginger from Van Drunen Farms (VDF) offers a convenient way to add the delicious fresh flavor of ginger to your products.

IQF Ginger from Van Drunen Farms is ideal for use in savory sauces, soups and more.

This peculiar looking plant, often referred to as ginger root, is not actually a root, but a rhizome (an edible underground stem). Commonly known for its medicinal purposes as a stomache settler, the spicy-sweet, pungent flavor of ginger is even more popular today for its culinary uses in Asian, oriental and fusion dishes.

Using fresh ginger as an ingredient in food-service or prepared food applications has traditionally been a challenge due to the difficulty in grating or dicing the tough and stringy ginger hand. Ginger from Van Drunen Farms is cleaned, diced and IQF frozen for easy use in your application.

Culinary uses include savory soups, sauces, salsas, salad dressings, stir-frys and satays.

VDF IQF Ginger is available in 1/8" and 1/4” diced pieces. Customization is available.

Van Drunen Farms is a family-owned company, located in the fertile farmland of the Midwest. VDF is a supplier of certified organic and conventional fruits, vegetables, herbs and specialty products for the food industry. Customization is a specialty.
