In today’s fast-paced kitchens—whether in restaurants, catering services, or food processing facilities—efficiency, consistency, and flavor matter more than ever. That’s where KD Healthy Foods’ IQF Onion comes in as a true game-changer.
IQF Onion is a versatile ingredient that brings both convenience and quality to every dish. Whether you’re preparing hearty stews, savory sauces, or vibrant vegetable medleys, our IQF Onion offers the same rich aroma and flavor as freshly chopped onions, with none of the prep-time hassle.
Why Choose IQF Onion?
Cooking with IQF Onion is about more than saving time—it’s also about consistency and reliability. Our onions are peeled, cut, and frozen at peak freshness, ensuring a standardized product that delivers great taste and texture every time. That means fewer surprises in the kitchen and more control over the flavor profile of your dishes.
Some key benefits include:
Labor savings: No peeling, chopping, or tears—just open the bag and use as needed.
Reduced waste: With no skins or ends to discard and a long freezer shelf life, IQF Onion is both cost-effective and sustainable.
Year-round availability: Regardless of the harvest season, you’ll have high-quality onion ready for cooking.
Consistent size and texture: Ideal for recipes where uniform cooking and presentation are important.
How to Cook with IQF Onion
One of the best things about IQF Onion is its adaptability. It can be cooked straight from frozen—no thawing necessary. Here are a few simple ways to get started:
1. Sautéing
This is one of the most common uses. Heat a pan over medium heat with a bit of oil or butter, then add the frozen IQF Onion directly to the pan. Stir occasionally and cook until the onions are soft and lightly golden, usually 5–7 minutes.
This method is perfect for starting off dishes like stir-fries, soups, sauces, or rice pilafs. You’ll enjoy the same depth of flavor as with fresh onion—minus the prep time.
2. Roasting
Toss IQF Onion with olive oil, salt, and your favorite herbs, then spread it on a baking sheet. Roast in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15–20 minutes, stirring once halfway through. The result? Sweet, caramelized onions that are perfect as a side dish or salad topping.
3. In Soups and Stews
Simply add IQF Onion directly into your pot during the cooking process. The onion will soften and release its flavor as your soup or stew simmers, integrating beautifully into the broth. No need to sauté first unless your recipe calls for it.
4. As a Pizza or Flatbread Topping
Use IQF Onion as a convenient topping for pizzas or flatbreads. Simply scatter the frozen onions over your base along with other ingredients and bake as usual. They will soften and lightly brown as they cook, adding a burst of flavor.
5. In Casseroles and Bakes
Add IQF Onion directly into casseroles, gratins, or savory pies. Its moisture content helps keep dishes succulent, while its mild, sweet flavor complements a wide range of ingredients from meats to legumes and cheeses.
Storage Tips
Store IQF Onion in the freezer at -18°C (0°F) or lower. After opening, reseal the bag or transfer the contents to an airtight container to prevent freezer burn. For best results, use within 12 months of the production date.
