Harvested at the peak of ripeness, these versatile watermelon pieces are then conveniently pre-cut and individually frozen to maintain their freshness at their best form. 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 watermelon tastes deliciously fresh; customers will never guess they were actually frozen!
