IQF Onions

As Brusco is an importer and distributor of IQF onions to UK food manufacturers, we understand the importance of simplifying the production process to make it more efficient and cost-effective.

IQF onion refers to fresh raw onion material which has been diced into uniform pieces and frozen using an individually quick frozen (IQF) method, rapidly freezing each piece separately. This prevents clumping and preserves freshness, flavour, texture and nutritional value.

Using this format over fresh onions offers extended shelf life and produces minimal waste during production, making them an excellent choice for food manufacturing sites.

IQF Onion Format to Suit Production

As part of our range, we offer both red and white onions in diced and sliced formats. We offer various sizes to suit our customers production requirements.

Benefits of Using IQF Onions

Extended Shelf Life & Storage Efficiency

IQF onions have a longer shelf life than fresh diced onions.

Labor & Cost Savings

Using a pre-prepared product such as IQF onions eliminates the need for manual peeling, chopping, and labour-intensive prep work. It also reduces waste from onion skins and off-cuts.

Operational Efficiency

IQF products can be used straight from the freezer, they are free-pouring so you can use as much or as little as required.

Product Safety & Hygiene

IQF products help minimise cross-contamination risk in food service kitchens and manufacturing sites.
