IQF (Individually Quick Frozen) herbs are a popular product in the food
industry, particularly for use in foodservice, retail, and manufacturing
sectors. IQF is a method of freezing that allows each piece of the herb to
freeze individually, rather than in clumps, which helps retain the texture,
flavor, and nutrients of the herbs while preventing them from sticking
together. This freezing method offers convenience, quality, and versatility for
users.
What are IQF Herbs?
IQF herbs are fresh herbs that have been carefully washed, chopped or prepared,
and then frozen using the IQF process. This method involves quickly freezing
each herb piece in a short period, preserving the original texture, color, and
taste without the need for preservatives. The result is a high-quality frozen
herb that can be stored for long periods while maintaining the integrity of the
flavor.
Are frozen herbs any good?
Yes, frozen herbs are quite good and can be an excellent alternative to fresh
herbs, especially in certain contexts. While fresh herbs are often preferred
for their vibrant flavor and aroma, frozen herbs have several advantages and
can offer comparable quality when used in the right way.

1. Freshness and Flavor Preservation: Frozen Herbs and Spices retain their
fresh flavor and aroma much better than traditionally frozen herbs because they
are frozen immediately after harvesting, locking in natural oils and nutrients.
2. Convenience: Frozen Chopped Herbs eliminate the need for washing, chopping,
or measuring, making them highly convenient for chefs and manufacturers. They
are ready to use directly from the freezer, saving time and labor.
3. Reduced Waste: Since only the amount needed can be taken out of the freezer,
there is less waste compared to fresh herbs, which spoil quickly. IQF herbs
have a longer shelf life, typically from 12 months to 2 years, depending on
storage conditions.
4. Consistency: The IQF process ensures that each herb piece is individually
frozen, preventing clumping, and allowing for easy portioning, which guarantees
consistent flavor and texture in every use.
5. Nutrient Retention: Freezing herbs preserves their vitamins, minerals, and
antioxidants, making them an excellent choice for health-conscious consumers.
