Food Industry
Companies. Your customers will
love the convenience and quality of IQF rice.
(Home made texture and
flavor after 2 to 3 minutes in a microwave.) IQF rice can be purchased in
1400 lb totes or 40 lb boxes. At frozen temperatures, each kernel of rice
remains separate and the rice flows freely. This allows the rice to be
scooped by hand, or conveyed and blended in high speed conveying and scaling
mechanisms. IQF rice is very inexpensive at less than 15 cents per
serving. IQF rice makes a great side dish in frozen entrees. It be
used in rice bowls, skillet meals, meal kits, or as a component in items such as
veggie burgers, egg rolls, enchiladas, burritos, and stuffing in poultry.
Sage V Foods can pack flavored IQF rice (blended with vegetables if desired) in
small pouches to go in meal kits along with a protein. Companies in the
protein business can now easily offer a full meal.
