IQF Frozen Garlic

IQF Frozen Garlic

We supply IQF frozen garlic as peeled cloves, dice and slightly blanched crushed garlic. Clove bands are 180-300 or 260-380 pieces per kg, while diced options are 4 x 4 mm and 5 x 5 mm.

Select clove, crushed or diced form

XMSD offers peeled cloves, slightly blanched crushed garlic and 4 x 4 mm or 5 x 5 mm dice. A processor buying for a sauce can use the smaller dice for even dispersion, while a kitchen may choose whole cloves for flexible downstream chopping. The form must be named in the order because these are not equivalent inputs.

The peeled clove count bands of 260-380 and 180-300 pieces per kilogram create a measurable distinction in piece size. Test a sample against the intended equipment: a whole-clove feeder, cutting line and sauce kettle impose different requirements on clove size and dispersion.

Specify handling around the chosen form

Select one measured form and verify how the chosen unit moves through freezer storage and opening. Dice may need more careful handling to avoid compacted lumps; cloves can be assessed by count and visible defects.

Put the final garlic form, shipment volume and destination on the purchase line. For a plant that uses more than one form, separate the receiving and dosing tests for clove, dice and crushed material.

Inspect form-specific consistency

For peeled cloves, count a sample and check peel remnants, root pieces, discoloration and size spread. For 4 x 4 mm or 5 x 5 mm dice, inspect oversize pieces, fines and clumping. Crushed garlic needs a different texture assessment because it is not a free-flowing dice.

Use one acceptance method for each form and retain a sample. A single generic garlic grade cannot represent all three. Keep the IQF product frozen through receiving and transfer, and compare the next delivery to the approved form before it enters a batch recipe.
