Key Advantages of Frozen Asparagus Whole

Superior Nutrient Retention

Processed using IQF (Individually Quick Frozen) technology, whole asparagus spears are frozen at peak freshness, effectively locking in nutrients before cell structure is damaged. Over 90% of vitamin C, vitamin A, dietary fiber, and folic acid are retained. By comparison, fresh asparagus may lose around 20% of vitamin C within 48 hours at room temperature, making frozen whole asparagus a more stable and reliable nutritional option.

Pure, Natural Flavor

Made from 100% natural asparagus, free from artificial preservatives, colorants, or flavor enhancers. Carefully controlled blanching and quick-freezing help preserve the vegetable’s natural sweetness and fresh green flavor. Optional light salting is available upon request to meet different market or culinary needs.

Uniform Size & Vibrant Green Color

Standardized blanching with color-protection techniques effectively inhibits chlorophyll degradation, ensuring bright green color and upright whole spears. The visual appearance closely matches that of freshly harvested asparagus within hours of picking—ideal for foodservice and premium presentations.

Ready-to-Use Convenience

Frozen asparagus whole is washed, trimmed, and pre-processed, eliminating labor-intensive preparation. After thawing, it can be microwaved, boiled, steamed, or stir-fried, typically requiring only 1–3 minutes of cooking, improving kitchen efficiency for restaurants, catering, and food manufacturers.

Healthy, Low-Calorie Vegetable Choice

Naturally low in fat and calories (~20 kcal/100g) and rich in dietary fiber (2.1 g/100g), potassium, and magnesium (~202 mg potassium/100g). Frozen asparagus whole is well-suited for weight management, balanced diets, and daily nutritional supplementation, and is widely used in health-focused menus.

Application Scenarios

Home & Retail Cooking

Ideal for quick preparation: thawed whole spears can be microwaved or sautéed and seasoned with garlic and olive oil, or combined with eggs, pasta, or rice dishes for fast, nutritious meals.

Foodservice & Restaurant Use

Commonly served as a side dish for steak, seafood (salmon, shrimp), and poultry, or incorporated into salads, pasta, and Western or Asian cuisine. The consistent length and color enhance plate presentation.

Food Processing & Healthy Meals

Suitable for salad bowls, ready meals, frozen food kits, and plant-based menus. Whole spears maintain structure after cooking, making them ideal for premium meal solutions and value-added products.

Quality & Storage Recommendations

  • Store at a stable temperature of –18°C or below

  • Avoid repeated thawing and refreezing, which may cause moisture absorption and texture softening

  • Recommended reheating:

    • Microwave: 1 minute (medium-high)

    • Boiling or steaming: 2–3 minutes

  • Avoid prolonged high-temperature cooking to prevent color fading and loss of firmness
