Sard O Taze IQF Frozen Cut Celery 400g

This product undergoes an ultra-short mild thermal shock strictly engineered to deactivate polyphenol oxidases and prevent enzymatic browning without cooking the core tissues. This ensures that cellular turgidity and string integrity remain intact, allowing chefs to sauté or stew the celery with the culinary behavior of fresh stalks.

Celery stalks pass through multi-stage air bubble agitated washing tanks utilizing filtered water circulation and controlled ozone injection. High-pressure directional water jets then thoroughly flush the longitudinal stalk grooves, followed by manual optical inspection conveyors to ensure absolute purity.

Ultra-fast IQF freezing within 10 minutes locks in volatile terpenes and phthalides responsible for the characteristic celery fragrance. Oxygen-barrier barrier pouch packaging prevents oxidation and freezer burn, securely sealing the natural aromatic profile throughout its 18-month shelf life.

When placed directly into pre-heated oil or boiling broth without prior thawing, cellular contraction is minimal, retaining over 85% of original volumetric structure. This stability prevents wilting, mushiness, or disintegration during high-heat sautéing typical of traditional Middle Eastern herb and meat stews.

Each heavy-duty 5-ply carton contains 20 packs of 400g (net 8 kg), moisture-treated to resist cold-storage softening. Pallets (100x120 cm) accommodate 100 to 110 cartons cross-stacked, wrapped with high-tensile stretch film to resist shifting during long-haul transit.

Yes; its free-flowing individual cut geometry allows seamless feeding into industrial cold-press crushers and continuous masticating extractors. The natural water retention and undamaged botanical cells provide high extraction yields with vibrant green hue stability in health drinks and functional smoothies.

Every crop batch undergoes pre-intake lot sampling, subjected to Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) screening for multi-residue targets. Pesticide limits are strictly monitored to comply with national health directives as well as stringent Codex Alimentarius thresholds for export clearance.
