1. Detailed Product Introduction

Raw Material Selection: Export-Grade Standards, Source Control

We have established long-term strategic cooperation with high-quality broccoli planting bases worldwide, all of which are GAP-certified and implement standardized planting management:

• Premium Variety Selection: Introduces high-quality imported broccoli varieties from Europe and the US. These varieties feature strong disease resistance, tight and plump flower heads, delicate buds, crisp stems, and high nutritional content. Proven through years of exports, they maintain excellent texture and color stability after freezing, making them the golden variety for export-grade frozen broccoli.

• Rigorous Harvesting Standards: The harvesting period is accurately locked in the golden window when flower heads are fully mature but not loose (25-30 days after budding). At this stage, broccoli has the highest content of nutrients such as vitamin C and dietary fiber, with a crisp texture free of tough fibers. Specialized tools are used for harvesting to avoid damage to flower heads and ensure raw material integrity.

• Rapid Freshness Locking: After harvesting, broccoli undergoes preliminary sorting in the field to remove residual leaves and impurities, then is placed in food-grade low-temperature fresh-keeping boxes and transported directly to the factory via cold chain vehicles within 2 hours. The transportation process maintains a constant low temperature of 0-4℃ to avoid oxidation, softening, and nutrient loss caused by exposure to room temperature.

• Import-Grade Inspection Checkpoints: Before warehousing, each batch of raw materials undergoes dual testing by the factory laboratory and authoritative third-party institutions, focusing on pesticide residues, heavy metals, and microbial indicators. Only those fully complying with the safety standards of the target export market are allowed to enter the production process, eliminating unqualified raw materials from the source.

Production Process: International Standards, Precision Manufacturing

The factory adopts fully automated production lines with key equipment imported from Germany and Japan. The production process strictly follows HACCP system requirements, with standardized operating procedures and quality control points for each process:

1. Preprocessing & Sorting: In a 100,000-class clean workshop, dual sorting by manual labor and intelligent color sorters eliminates raw materials with yellowing, damaged, insect-infested, or irregularly shaped flower heads, and removes aged stems and residual leaves. This ensures every broccoli head is a first-grade product with a purity of over 99%.

2. Three-Stage Deep Cleaning: Uses food-grade stainless steel cleaning equipment to implement a three-stage purification process: the first stage is high-pressure spray rinsing with precisely controlled water pressure to thoroughly wash away sediment, insect eggs, and residual pesticides on the flower head surface; the second stage is soaking and tumbling in a bubble cleaning tank to remove stubborn impurities in the crevices of flower heads using bubble impact; the third stage is rinsing with purified water (meeting drinking water standards) to ensure broccoli is clean, residue-free, and free from secondary pollution.

3. Precise Blanching & Color Protection: Adopts computer-programmed precise temperature-controlled blanching technology, with the temperature strictly controlled at 88℃ and blanching time of 20-25 seconds. Natural food-grade color protectants (ascorbic acid, citric acid) complying with international standards are added during blanching to effectively lock in chlorophyll, prevent browning during freezing and long-term storage, inhibit harmful microorganisms, and not affect product texture or nutrition.

4. Rapid Dewatering & Cooling: After blanching, broccoli is immediately sent to high-speed centrifugal dewatering equipment to drain surface moisture within 30 seconds, then transferred to a low-temperature cooling tunnel to quickly cool to below 10℃. Thisterminates the blanching reaction, avoiding soft texture and nutrient loss caused by residual heat, and further locks in freshness.

5. -36℃ IQF Freezing: Cooled broccoli is sent to an ultra-low temperature IQF freezing tunnel, where the temperature drops to -36℃ instantly to achieve individual quick freezing. Each flower head is frozen independently without clumping, ensuring intact shape and uniform crisp texture after thawing, while maximizing nutrient retention (nutrient retention rate of over 95%).

6. Aseptic Packaging & Inspection: Aseptic packaging is completed in a 100,000-class clean workshop. Packaging materials are food-grade high-barrier composite films complying with FDA and EU standards, featuring moisture resistance, oxidation resistance, odor prevention, and low-temperature freezing resistance. Before packaging, products undergo three inspections: weight detection, metal detection, and foreign matter screening to prevent unqualified products from leaving the factory. Packaging labels clearly display product name, specification, production batch, shelf life, storage conditions, traceability code, exporter information, and compliance statements for the target market, meeting customs declaration and market sales requirements.
