IQF Sliced Waterchestnut
IQF water chestnuts from China — peeled, whole and sliced formats with the signature sweet crunch that makes water chestnut irreplaceable in spring rolls, lettuce wraps, stir-fries, and dumpling fillings. Unlike canned water chestnuts that lose their crisp bite, IQF processing locks in the fresh snap texture at the moment of freezing. A specialty ingredient with no substitute — when a recipe calls for water chestnut texture, nothing else works. China is effectively the world's sole commercial source. BRC certified. Supplied to spring roll and dumpling manufacturers, Asian restaurant chains, prepared food processors, and specialty foodservice distributors — 25 MT minimum per container.
