Green Peas

Green peas are a common ingredient for frozen meals, soups, continental vegetable mixes and retail frozen goods. The product is offered as whole or individually quick frozen (IQF) peas to preserve color, texture and nutritional value. This page explains processing fit, technical attributes, cold-chain needs and procurement considerations.

Applications & use scenarios

• Food processors: IQF peas integrate cleanly into portioned frozen meals and mixed vegetable blends.
• HORECA: bulk frozen peas support high-volume kitchens for sauces, sides and soups.
• Retail: consumer-sized frozen pouches are produced under temperature-controlled packing to retain appearance and flavor.

Technical behaviour and quality metrics

• Blanching: controlled blanching prior to IQF retains color and reduces enzymatic activity.
• Cold-chain: product must remain at −18°C or lower to maintain texture and shelf life.
• Sorting and purity: mechanical sorting removes stones and undersize particles.
• Typical industrial controls include moisture checks and frozen storage audits.

Packaging, lead times and logistics

• Packaging: insulated cartons and palletized frozen pallets with dry ice or refrigerated reefers for export.
• Lead time: 14–28 days depending on IQF production calendar and order size.
• Supply cadence: weekly scheduling available for contract accounts and chain buyers.

Quality and traceability

• Batch sampling covers blanching performance and microbiological checks when required.
• COA and packing photos can be provided to support QA reviews.
