Product Forms of Frozen Garlic

We focus this product on IQF frozen peeled garlic cloves, also described in purchasing discussions as frozen whole garlic cloves or frozen garlic cloves. Other frozen garlic forms can be discussed according to order availability, because each form works differently in sauce production, foodservice kitchens, ready meals, seasoning products and industrial recipes.

IQF Frozen Peeled Garlic Cloves

Whole peeled garlic cloves for sauces, soups, stews, meat processing, foodservice and industrial cooking.

Frozen Garlic Dices

Can be discussed for ready meals, seasoning blends, sauces and food manufacturing projects.

Frozen Minced Garlic

Confirm the garlic form before quotation

For whole peeled garlic cloves, we check size range, defect tolerance, packing and IQF separation. For diced, minced, sliced or paste formats, we confirm order availability and application before quoting.

Practical preparation value

Frozen garlic helps reduce peeling work and supports stable ingredient preparation for foodservice kitchens, sauce factories, ready-meal factories and food processing lines.

Whole clove format for further processing

Whole frozen garlic cloves can be cooked directly, crushed, cut, blended or further processed according to the buyer's production flow. This format gives factories and central kitchens more flexibility than a fixed minced or paste format.

Separated frozen handling

IQF freezing helps keep cloves easier to portion from bulk bags when cold-chain handling is maintained at -18°C or below.
