What is IQF Fruit?

IQF stands for ‘individually quick frozen' fruit, this method is used to provide the best quality of frozen fruits available to suit food manufacturing and foodservice needs. Each piece of fruit is flash-frozen individually at incredibly low temperatures, within hours of being picked, to prevent the formation of ice crystals so the fruit remains free-flowing. Rapid freezing ensures the nutritional value, vitamins, flavour, colour, texture, and aroma of the fresh fruits are all locked in to ensure customers get the best product quality whilst significantly prolonging its shelf life, to prevent wastage.

Individual quick freezing methods have revolutionised the industry by allowing for convenience, consistency, and quality in frozen fruits. One of the most significant benefits of IQF is that each fruit retains its individual shape and size, making it perfect for food manufacturers to use in products where visual appeal is important. This means that customers can enjoy the same quality of fruits all year round, regardless of seasonality.
