KD Healthy Foods is a trusted supplier of premium frozen vegetables, fruits, and mushrooms. With our own farm and production facilities, we grow, harvest, and process fruits like seabuckthorns under strict quality standards. Our mission is to deliver high-quality frozen berries from farm to fork.
There’s something extraordinary about seabuckthorn berries—those tiny, sun-coloured fruits bursting with brightness and natural vitality. At KD Healthy Foods, every berry we freeze begins as a small part of a bigger story: a journey of careful selection, gentle handling, and strict quality control. Today, we’re pleased to share the detailed process behind our IQF Seabuckthorns—from raw harvest to deep-freeze storage.
1. Raw Material Arrival: Berries with Leaves and Twigs
Fresh seabuckthorns arrive from our farm or trusted growers with natural leaves, twigs, and other field debris. Our quality team inspects each batch to ensure only the best raw materials enter the production line. This initial step is crucial for achieving a premium frozen seabuckthorn product.
2. Raw Material Cleaning & Debris Removal
The berries undergo raw material cleaning or debris removal, which removes leaves, twigs, and other foreign matter. This step guarantees that only clean, intact berries continue in the process. Clean raw material is the foundation for high-quality IQF seabuckthorns, trusted by food processors, beverage manufacturers, and supplement producers worldwide.
3. Color Sorting: Two Lines for Maximum Precision
After cleaning, the berries pass through a Color Sorting Machine, which divides them into two product streams:
• Left Line – Good Berries
Bright, uniform, and fully ripened berries proceed directly to the next stage.
• Right Line – Broken or Discolored Berries
Pale, damaged, or overripe berries are removed.
This step ensures consistent appearance and premium quality for each batch of frozen seabuckthorns.
4. X-Ray Machine: Foreign-Matter Detection
Next, the berries enter an X-ray detection system, which identifies hidden foreign matter such as stones or dense contaminants not visible during previous steps. This step guarantees food safety and product integrity, which is especially important for commercial buyers requiring reliable IQF frozen fruits.
5. Packing: Final Hand Selection
Even after multiple automated checks, human inspection remains essential. Our workers carefully remove any remaining broken berries or imperfections before packing. This ensures that each carton contains only premium quality IQF seabuckthorns.
6. Finished Product: Clean, Consistent, and Ready
At this point, the berries have completed multiple layers of cleaning, checking, and preparation. The finished seabuckthorns maintain their natural appearance and are ready for final quality assurance.
7. Metal Detection Machine: Every Carton is Checked
Each sealed carton passes through a Metal Detection Machine, ensuring no metallic contaminants are present. Only cartons that meet our strict standards proceed to freezing.
8. Freezing & Cold Storage at –18°C
Right after metal detection, all cartons enter our –18°C cold store for rapid freezing.
