Latest Market Trends for Quick-Frozen Vegetables

Because the northern regions have a limited variety of vegetables in winter and spring, while the summer and autumn seasons bring a wide variety and large quantities of vegetables to the market, the market demand tends to exceed supply. During the peak vegetable season, we process and quick-freeze large quantities of vegetables for storage as backup. This allows us to balance supply and demand and alleviate the supply-demand imbalance during winter and spring.

Because the northern regions have a limited variety of vegetables in winter and spring, while the summer and autumn seasons bring a wide variety and large quantities of vegetables to the market, market demand tends to exceed supply. During the peak vegetable season, we process and quick-freeze large quantities of vegetables for storage as backup. This allows us to balance supply and demand and alleviate the supply-demand imbalance during the winter and spring months.
After thawing, quick-frozen vegetables exhibit color, aroma, flavor, and texture that are not significantly different from those of fresh vegetables. We first chopped and washed fresh vegetables—such as cucumbers, spinach, cauliflower, and green beans—and then determined their nutritional components. We subsequently compared these results with those of the same vegetables three days after they had been quick-frozen. The findings showed that there were no significant differences in the levels of crude protein, total fat, total sugar, organic acids, and crude fiber; only the moisture content showed some variation.
In fact, frozen vegetables have higher nutritional value than commercially available vegetables, because the raw materials used for quick-freezing must meet stringent requirements: they must be of excellent quality, properly matured, uniformly sized and shaped, free from pests and diseases, uncontaminated, and stored under low-temperature conditions that inhibit various biochemical reactions within the produce. They are convenient to store and consume, with promising prospects and an infinitely large market potential.
