IQF Chestnuts

GreenLand Food supplies IQF frozen peeled chestnuts for foodservice, bakery, dessert manufacturing, stuffing, puree, ready meals and industrial processing. We prepare whole peeled chestnuts, chestnut dices, broken chestnuts and project-based roasted chestnut options according to your required form, packing and application.

We select mature chestnuts, process them through washing, scoring, peeling, inner skin removal, sorting and individually quick freezing, then pack them for frozen export shipment. The finished product keeps a natural sweet nutty flavor, light yellow to light brown color and tender texture after cooking or further processing.

Bulk packing, foodservice packing, retail packs and private label options can be discussed. We can also support specification sheets, COA, test reports, certificate support, carton mark control and frozen container loading documents for your order.

We recommend whole grade for visible applications where appearance matters, such as high-end foodservice, desserts, side dishes and seasonal prepared foods.

We prepare diced chestnuts for uniform dosing in bakery fillings, ice cream, desserts, stuffing and industrial recipes.

We supply broken grade for puree, soup, sauce, fillings and manufacturing projects that need cost control and stable input material.

Roasted frozen chestnuts and puree-grade chestnuts can be discussed for retail, ready meal, dessert and sauce projects.

Pre-peeled IQF chestnuts reduce labor for foodservice kitchens, central kitchens and food manufacturers. Individual quick freezing helps keep pieces separate, so your team can portion, weigh and pack more efficiently.

We match whole, diced, broken and processing grades to the application instead of offering one generic specification, so your purchasing team can control cost, appearance, texture and production performance.

Chestnuts naturally contain starch, fiber and a mild sweet nutty flavor, making them useful for sweet and savory food applications. We support the order with commercial quality control, packing, documents and cold chain handling.

We select mature, full chestnuts and remove raw material with visible insect damage, mold, black spots or severe breakage.

We wash the shell surface and sort by size to improve peeling and finished product consistency.

We score or cut the shell before heat treatment so the shell and inner skin can be removed more effectively.

Steam or blanching treatment supports shell removal, inner skin control and texture preparation before freezing.

We control inner skin residue because it affects appearance, mouthfeel and downstream processing.

Manual or optical sorting removes black-spotted, moldy, insect-damaged, heavily broken and off-spec pieces.

Individual quick freezing reduces clumping and supports portion control for bulk, foodservice and retail packing.

We inspect finished product, run metal detection, pack by batch and keep frozen storage at -18°C or below.

Diced, broken or puree-grade chestnuts can be used for bread, pies, cakes, mooncakes and sweet fillings.

Whole, diced or puree options support mousse, pudding, ice cream, dessert topping and ingredient preparation.

Broken and processing grades are suitable for puree, dessert fillings, sauces and industrial recipes.

Whole or diced chestnuts can be prepared for seasonal stuffing, frozen meals and prepared food projects.

Broken and puree-grade chestnuts support soup, thick sauce, savory sauce and central kitchen production.

Whole, diced and roasted options can be matched with restaurant, hotel, catering, frozen pouch and private label projects.

1x10kg/ctn, 2.5kgx4/ctn, 5kgx2/ctn, inner PE bag plus export carton and palletized shipment can be arranged.

500g, 1kg, 10x1kg/ctn and customized frozen pouch packing can be discussed with artwork, label and carton mark support.

Batch code, production date, carton mark customization, mixed container loading and loading photos can be provided according to the order.

Store at -18°C or below. Keep the product frozen during warehousing, loading, transportation and delivery.

Avoid repeated thawing and refreezing. Use promptly after thawing according to food safety practice and processing requirements.

Unless the product is specifically validated as ready-to-eat, IQF peeled chestnuts should be cooked or further processed before consumption.
