Asian Ingredients

Each ingredient within our IQF Asian vegetable range is prepared ahead of time. This can help save time, resources, and money.

The range includes many key ingredients that you would expect to find in Asian dishes including IQF garlic puree, IQF ginger puree, IQF chillies, and IQF spring onions plus water chestnuts, bamboo shoots and edamame beans.

Each ingredient is available frozen, extending the shelf life and minimising costs.

We also have a range of onions and garlic that comes ambient, so if freezer space is an issue, this might be the perfect alternative for you.
