When you need all the flavor benefits of fresh culinary herbs combined with extended shelf life and easy handling, Individually Quick Frozen (IQF) herbs answer the call. The name says it all – these herbs are flash frozen in a way that preserves their individual piece identity, making them ideal for numerous product and menu applications.
Standard freezing can lead to large ice crystal formation that damages the cell walls of food, compromising taste, texture, color, and moisture content. The IQF process inhibits large ice crystals from forming and produces a better-quality product than standard freezing processes.
This results in ingredients with a longer shelf-life than fresh and higher quality than standard frozen product, helping you reduce waste, preparation time, processing challenges, and labor costs.
Effortlessly elevate your culinary creations with IQF herbs. Whether you’re a chef, foodservice menu developer, or food manufacturer, our selection of IQF herbs can help you stay ahead of the curve by being easily adaptable to ever evolving flavor trends.
Our IQF herbs maintain their quality and flavors, allowing you to layer tastes and textures without the added preparation effort or time.
Our IQF Culinary Herb Ingredients
We have been farming herbs and vegetables for over 160 years! Many of our IQF culinary herb ingredients are grown on our own farms in Illinois and California. After harvest, the product is processed within 24 hours, locking in flavor and nutrients at the peak of freshness.
In addition to culinary herbs, we grow IQF vegetables like kale and green onion for use in a variety of culinary creations.
What we cannot grow at our own farms, we source from trusted suppliers throughout the world. Our strong global supply chain includes long-term relationships with multiple suppliers to help ensure a year-round supply of the IQF herbs and vegetables you need.
IQF herbs mean you don’t have to trade quality for efficiency!
