Broccoli
Broccoli can be used in a variety of applications to create delicious tasting, healthy products. It is also ideal for foodservice and retail use. It offers all the flavour, texture, colour, nutrients and vitamins of fresh broccoli but with the convenience and longer shelf life of a frozen product, preventing wastage.
Sourced from our expert, approved growers in France, Belgium, Spain, China and Ecuador, our IQF broccoli are premium quality and grown to industry standards. The broccoli is a brassica and belongs to the cabbage family. Broccoli is one of the most popular and widely consumed vegetables in the UK, is highly nutritious and a rich source of vitamin C.
The broccoli heads are harvested at different times of the year dependent on the origin. Once harvested the broccoli is promptly washed, quality checked, blanched, cut to size and individually quick frozen. The broccoli is rapidly frozen at incredibly low temperatures, which prevents the formation of ice crystals, allowing each piece of broccoli to remain free-flowing – ideal for manufacturers requiring identifiable broccoli pieces.
