The case for IQF ready-to-eat
Six benefits of frozen, pre-cooked ingredients
The cost gap between dry and frozen has narrowed as energy and labour costs have risen, while frozen removes complexity, frees capacity and improves lead times and waste management.
Longer shelf life
IQF dramatically extends shelf life, letting you cut waste by switching to frozen.
Better quality
Frozen has evolved to be as good if not better than fresh.
Capacity unlocked
Reduced prep time means increased capacity elsewhere in your operation.
Lower processing cost
Fewer processing hours means reduced labour, energy and water on site.
Always available
Contract products ordered just-in-time, ready for unexpected demand fluctuations.
Certified & specified
Ready-to-eat ingredients via certified procedures, with salt, oil and pH to spec.
In practice
Intelligent solutions across the portfolio
IQF RTE pasta & grains
With Ebrofrost, we supply frozen, pre-cooked pasta, rice, grains and pulses that simply require defrosting, replacing daily in-house cooking or short-lead-time fresh deliveries.
Precooked onion pouches
Ready-to-use cooked and caramelised onion in aseptic pouches removes peeling, chopping and long cook times, and the significant weight loss fresh onions suffer during cooking.
Natavo IQF avocado
Avocados that stay green up to 10 days from opening solve one of the industry's biggest waste frustrations, with a 2-year frozen life and a fraction of the storage space.
Full range of ambient pouches
Pre-sliced, pre-cooked and stored up to 2 years without refrigeration, clean label, straight from the pouch into hot or cold dishes.
Legusol®
A whole-food compound built on the natural strength of pulses that works as a meat replacer or extender. Blended at 10–30% it holds texture, juiciness and protein while cutting cost and carbon, with no isolates or additives.
Semi-finished ingredients
Partly prepared components ready to finish in your own process. We take the labour-heavy early steps off site, so your team completes the final stage with consistent quality and far less prep.
