Individually Quick Frozen (IQF) ingredients are produced by spreading freshly harvested herbs or vegetables in a single layer on a slow moving conveyor through sub-zero air. This flash-freezing technology results in a free-flowing individually quick frozen product that can easily be handled.
You can trust in the quality and supply chain of Van Drunen Farms’ IQF products. Most ingredients are grown on our own farm in Momence, Illinois, USA. After harvest, we immediately place them in a cooling tank, then tumble, clean, and freeze them. We trace each product from seed to finished product.
IQF processing allows for products to be quickly flash frozen in individual pieces. This inhibits large ice crystals from forming and produces a better quality product than standard freezing processes. This results in:
● Fresh flavor
● Higher quality
● Piece identity
● Easy to handle
● Low micro count
● Dips
● Dressings
● Sauces
● Meats
● Frozen meals & pizzas
● Garlic
● Ginger
● Peppers
● Onions
Take the effort out of indulgence with fire-roasted vegetables—from individual ingredients to customized blends that incorporate herbs and spices for a premium flavor profile.
