BRC + HACCP
IQF Broccoli
BRC-certified IQF broccoli florets — deep green colour, tight buds, blanched and individually quick frozen. Bulk wholesale for retail freezer aisle, ready-meal manufacturing, and food service.
Product Description
Our IQF broccoli is harvested at peak crown density, washed in chilled water, separated into florets, blanched precisely 90 seconds in steam tunnels (locking colour and nutrition), then immediately tunnel-frozen at -35°C.
The result is deep emerald-green florets with crisp texture, separate-flow bag presentation, and minimal cell damage. Ideal for retail consumer packs, ready-meal manufacturers, food service operators, and HoReCa kitchens needing kitchen-ready vegetable inputs.
