Frozen Celery supply for commercial buyers
We supply frozen celery dice for soup bases, savory fillings and vegetable blends. A pale stalk grade and a greener leaf-inclusive grade bring different flavor, fiber and appearance to the finished product.
We agree dice dimensions, leaf inclusion and string allowance separately. We check brown cut faces and frozen clumps, then assess how the dice distribute and taste in your intended heating process.
Product forms
Stalk-led dice
The carton photo shows diced celery. We specify dice size, pale-to-green color range and a maximum leaf share.
Leaf-inclusive blend
A greener blend can give stronger aroma but changes color and bulk density. The accepted ratio needs a separate reference sample.
Different cut for soup
Longer pieces or fine mince alter cooking and dispersion. We verify cutting capability and frozen condition before quoting another style.
Purchasing risks and acceptance checks
coarse strings and inconsistent dice size
We compare the raw-material condition and visible sample, then set an agreed limit for dice dimensions, leaf content and string allowance.
Your receiving team can judge the lot against the same diced celery stalk reference used during approval.
Unwanted material or appearance outside the light to medium green stalk target
We define the visual exclusions for brown cuts, long fibres, leaf excess and frozen clumps; sorting and final inspection are aligned to the agreed sample.
Stringy stalk and dark leaf fragments are checked on mixed carton material.
Leafy fragments and stringy stalk pieces can concentrate unevenly in a carton.
Mix a carton sample and assess dice size, leaf share, visible fibers and distribution in soup.
The chosen dice delivers the agreed stalk-to-leaf ratio and fiber limit.
Product specifications
We match the form, grade and acceptance method to the agreed sample and your application.
| Item | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Product identity | Diced celery stalk; confirm ingredient identity and intended frozen state on the order. |
| Commercial form | Diced stalk with leaf inclusion agreed separately; each variation needs its own sample and approval. |
| Cut and size | Confirm dice dimensions, leaf content and string allowance; agree the measurement method and tolerance from a reference sample. |
| Appearance | Agree the acceptable light to medium green stalk range and limits for brown cuts, long fibres, leaf excess and frozen clumps. |
| Processing route | Confirm trim, wash, dice, blanching decision and dewatering and any applicable pretreatment for the actual SKU. |
| Defect allowance | Write limits for coarse strings and inconsistent dice size, broken pieces and foreign material in the approved specification. |
| Packing and label | Confirm unit weight, inner bag, carton, label language and carton marks for the destination market. |
| Commercial terms | Confirm MOQ, lead time, loading port, trade terms and shipment quantity for this order; no standard value is implied. |
| Shelf life and storage | Confirm the approved shelf-life statement and frozen storage condition on the final specification and label. |
Preparation and frozen processing
- Raw-material review. We define the incoming diced celery stalk condition, maturity and visible exclusions before selecting a production lot. The material must be suitable for diced stalk with leaf inclusion agreed separately.
- Cleaning and preparation. We trim tough strings and discolored stalk, then cut to the approved dice. A mixed carton sample checks leaf share, size distribution and visible fiber.
- Pretreatment and processing state. The order record addresses trim, wash, dice, blanching decision and dewatering for this SKU. Processing time, temperature and finished state must come from its approved production record.
- Freezing and separation. Mix a carton sample and assess dice size, leaf share, visible fibers and distribution in soup.
- Inspection and packing. We sort against the light to medium green stalk appearance target and named defects, then check pack integrity, net weight, label identity and batch code.
Quality control
For celery dice, we inspect string fragments and the proportion of leaf to stalk. Diced size and pale/green balance should be checked across the lot, not just from a top-layer sample.
We ask your team to assess dice distribution and celery flavour after heating, because a lot that looks acceptable in a frozen carton may perform differently after its intended processing step.
Applications and quality requirements
| Application | Buyer channel | Purchasing requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Soup base mixes | soup factories | Set dice size and stalk-to-leaf balance for even flavor and distribution. |
| Vegetable blends | blend packers | Match celery dice to the companion vegetables and control coarse strings. |
| Savoury fillings | filling producers | Assess moisture release and leaf flecks in the finished filling. |
Packing and private label
Bulk pack weight, liner and carton strength are set around diced celery stalk and its risk of coarse strings and inconsistent dice size.
Soup-base packaging should state the actual diced stalk-and-leaf style. We review the actual bag seal, label language, artwork and carton marks before printing.
Documents and traceability
The invoice, packing list and carton marks must describe diced stalk with leaf inclusion agreed separately consistently.
We discuss inspection records or reports for the actual diced celery stalk lot and destination. Requested evidence must answer a defined receiving concern such as brown cuts, long fibres, leaf excess and frozen clumps; certification scope is checked before it is claimed.
Frozen storage and delivery
We check diced celery stalk cartons, lot codes and pallet layout before frozen loading.
A mixed load keeps frozen celery identifiable by lot and pallet position.
Frequently asked questions
Is celery leaf included with the dice?
Leaf inclusion is a separate grade decision. A stalk-heavy dice and leafy mix have different colour and flavour.
How are coarse strings limited?
We define a fibre and oversized-piece allowance on the actual diced sample.
What dice works in soup manufacturing?
We match dice size to other soup ingredients and test distribution after the intended heat step.
How is dice size measured?
We assess a mixed carton sample for oversize stalk pieces and fines. Soup and filling lines may need different cut distributions.
What dark pieces are rejected?
We distinguish normal green leaf from damaged or dark stalk tissue. The visual limit is agreed with the intended product color.
How is a filling trial different from soup?
A filling trial checks free water and piece distribution in a dense mix. Soup disperses the same dice in liquid and can expose a different defect.
What does a carton sample reveal?
It shows dice uniformity, leafy fragments and frozen clumps across the pack. Surface pieces can hide variation below.
How will frozen celery be packed?
We select an inner bag and carton around dice dimensions, leaf content and string allowance.
Which records accompany frozen celery?
We link the dice dimensions, leaf inclusion and fiber standards to the accepted sample, lot inspection and shipment documents. Requested test reports are agreed for the destination and actual lot.
Can frozen celery join a mixed frozen shipment?
We can review frozen celery with other compatible frozen items under an agreed loading plan. The celery grade retains its own stalk-to-leaf declaration and lot marks within a mixed load.
How are MOQ and lead time confirmed for frozen celery?
Dice size, leaf inclusion and the requested inner pack influence the confirmed order plan. We confirm the order quantity and lead time for that defined order rather than publish one value for every pack.
What should we discuss first for Frozen Celery?
Tell us your dice dimensions and whether the soup needs stalk-led or leaf-inclusive material.
