What is the product
Gel Group Frozen Green Asparagus are carefully selected asparagus spears, frozen to preserve their natural shine and crunchy texture. Calibrated to a fixed length of 15 centimeters, they are whole, even, and bright green in color. The rapid IQF (Individual Quick Freezing) process allows the organoleptic and structural qualities of the freshly harvested vegetable to remain almost unchanged, offering a ready-to-use product at any time of the year.
Origin and raw materials
The asparagus is grown in Chile, an area offering climatic conditions and soils particularly suited to the production of this delicate vegetable. After harvesting, the asparagus is cleaned, sorted by size, and immediately frozen. The Gel Group brand ensures careful management of the cold chain, bringing a vegetable with excellent characteristics into kitchens, food-safe and completely free of artificial additives or preservatives.
Advantages for catering
Using these frozen green asparagus offers unparalleled advantages for catering professionals, restaurants, and hotels. The product is 100% zero waste: no trimming, peeling, or cutting of the tough lower part is required, saving significant time for the kitchen staff. Furthermore, the uniform 15 cm size guarantees perfect portion standardization, allowing food costs to be calculated with extreme precision and maintaining a flawless and consistent aesthetic in the dishes.
Uses in the professional kitchen
Thanks to their versatility, frozen asparagus is suitable for multiple preparations. They do not require prior thawing: they can be dropped directly into boiling water or sautéed in a pan with a knob of butter. They are the star ingredient for creamy spring risottos, brightly colored soups, or as an elegant side dish for roast meats and fish fillets. The tips, left whole, are a classy garnish for gourmet pizzas, focaccias, and rustic savory tarts.
Format and storage
The product is packaged in practical 1-kilogram polyethylene bags, a format that is easy to store in professional freezers, minimizing space requirements. Storage must strictly be at a temperature of -18 °C to maintain the cold chain until the moment of use. The packaging is designed to make it easy to take out the exact amount needed for service, then closing the bag to put it back in the freezer without any waste.
