IQF Leeks
IQF leek slices from China — cut to uniform ring thickness with the delicate allium flavor that French, Belgian, and Northern European cuisine applications demand. Leeks are labor-intensive to process due to cleaning requirements (sand and soil between layers), making China-origin's processing cost advantage particularly significant for this vegetable versus European domestic sourcing. Suitable for soups, quiches, pot pies, and gourmet prepared meals where leek contributes flavor complexity without the raw preparation burden. BRC A-Grade certified. Supplied to soup manufacturers, prepared meal producers, quiche and pastry manufacturers, and gourmet foodservice — 25 MT minimum per container.
