IQF Garlic Cloves
IQF garlic from China — which produces over 75% of the world's garlic — available in whole peeled cloves, sliced, diced, and minced formats. Flash-frozen to lock in the allicin and volatile sulfur compounds that give garlic its pungent aroma and flavor — a critical quality advantage over the jarred-in-oil and dehydrated alternatives that lose potency during processing. Ready-to-use format eliminates the peeling, crushing, and chopping labor that makes fresh garlic one of the most time-consuming prep items in commercial kitchens. BRC A-Grade certified. Supplied to sauce and condiment manufacturers, ready-meal producers, restaurant chain suppliers, and industrial food processors — 25 MT minimum per container.
