Details

Grown organically and harvested at the peak of ripeness, these versatile 30 lb. IQF organic whole strawberries are then quickly and individually frozen to maintain their freshness at their best form. Adding these strawberries to your menu allows endless versatile options, while saving on the cost of labor. Keeping the strawberries in their frozen state, add them into smoothies and milkshakes for a lusciously sweet treat. Bake into pies, cobblers, crisps, oat bars, and galettes for rustic, housemade baked goods, or serve a slice as a warm dessert with a side of vanilla ice cream. Create strawberry glazes and vinaigrettes to dress savory salads, meats, and roasted root vegetables with a subtly sweet dimension.

Macerate these strawberries into jam and offer it as a side option to your breakfast pastries, or use it to fill danishes, doughnuts, hand pies, and cake fillings for a fun fruit flavor! The jam can also be used to fold into meringues for a beautiful swirled effect, topped off on panna cottas, and can even be incorporated into buttercream frosting to add a more diverse and unique flavor profile to your cupcakes and cakes! Creating homemade syrup is another wonderful and easy way to use this frozen fruit. Drizzle over waffles, pancakes, and crepes, or fold into yogurt and ricotta for breakfast items. Plus, as a syrup base, this can be added into shaken specialty cocktails for a fun, fruity way to mix things up! With so many creations to be discovered, your next signature menu item will benefit from these IQF organic strawberries.

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 strawberries taste deliciously fresh; customers will never guess they were actually frozen!
