You can even use it to fill danishes, donuts, hand pies, and cakes for a fun fruit flavor! Creating house made syrup is another wonderful and easy way to use this frozen fruit.

When fruits are first picked, they start to lose their nutritional value, and freezing in masses lumps the fruit together. Using the IQF method prevents this from happening, and instead keeps the fruit's flavor, structure, nutritional benefits, and natural appearance intact, letting your dishes look and taste their best every time. Thanks to their preservation, the red raspberries taste deliciously fresh; customers will never guess they were actually frozen!
