Seasonal IQF Green Peas
Seasonal IQF Green Peas
Product Introduction
Seasonal IQF Green Peas are made from peas harvested at the height of the growing season, when sugar content and flavor are at their best. The peas are quickly transported from the field to the processing facility to preserve freshness and minimize quality loss.
After shelling and cleaning, the peas undergo blanching and individual quick freezing. This rapid freezing process helps retain the peas’ natural taste, color, and nutritional value while keeping each pea separate and easy to use.
By capturing the peak season quality through IQF technology, this product offers a reliable and consistent supply of premium green peas throughout the year.
Raw Material Selection
Only high-quality peas grown in suitable agricultural conditions are selected for seasonal processing. The peas are evaluated based on size uniformity, maturity, sweetness, and color.
