Organic Broccoli, with its Latin name Bracchium, is a variety of cabbage from the Amaranthaceae family. FRDP has set up cultivation channels for broccoli. Manual picking will allow our producer to carry out several successive runs, in order to be able to guarantee optimal maturity of the organic broccoli. After receiving it in the factory, organic broccoli is washed, cut, blanched, IQF frozen and then sized.

Broccoli is a veritable treasure trove of nutrients essential for good health. It is particularly rich in vitamins, notably vitamin C, which boosts the immune system, and vitamin K, which is essential for healthy bones. It is also high in fiber and antioxidants. Eating organic broccoli also means benefiting from a vegetable grown without chemicals, GMOs or pesticides. Organic broccoli is therefore a healthy choice for the consumer, and more respectful of the environment.
One of the main advantages of organic frozen broccoli is its year-round availability. Unlike fresh broccoli, which depends on the seasons, frozen broccoli is available all year round. This means you can enjoy the benefits of broccoli even outside harvesting periods. This offers great flexibility in the kitchen, whether you're preparing soups, stir-fries or more elaborate dishes.
The IQF process, or Individual Quick Freezing, is specially designed to preserve the nutritional and organoleptic quality of foods. For organic frozen broccoli, this process is essential. IQF allows each broccoli floret to be frozen separately, in a very short time, guaranteeing optimum preservation of nutrients and avoiding the formation of large ice crystals. The process also ensures that broccoli pieces don't stick together, making them easier to use in the kitchen.
IQF organic deep-frozen broccoli is frozen immediately after harvest, capturing and preserving its nutritional richness. Vitamins and minerals are preserved, as are taste and texture. IQF organic frozen broccoli therefore offers qualities similar to those of fresh broccoli, even after several months' storage.
This process also reduces the need for preservatives or additives, making IQF broccoli a naturally healthy product.
One of the greatest assets of organic frozen broccoli is its practicality. It is pre-washed, blanched and ready to use. This saves time in the kitchen, particularly for catering professionals, but also for consumers looking for quick, healthy meals.
