These IQF whole raspberries are suitable for a wide range of everyday recipes, from breakfasts and baking to sauces and desserts.
🥣 Breakfast Bowls & Smoothies
Add frozen raspberries directly to smoothies, oatmeal, overnight oats, chia pudding, or thick Greek yogurt alongside nuts and seeds for natural sweetness, balanced tartness, and vibrant color.
🧁 Baking & Desserts
Fold frozen raspberries into muffin, cake, scone, or pancake batters just before baking. They are also suitable for cheesecakes, crumbles, tarts, and other fruit-based desserts.
🥗 Sauces & Savory Pairings
Cook raspberries into coulis, fruit sauces, or reductions for desserts, or pair them with balsamic vinegar, goat cheese, leafy greens, and roasted meats for sweet-tart contrast.
How to prepare & use frozen raspberries
01Straight from Freezer: For smoothies and shakes, use frozen raspberries directly from the bag. They help chill beverages while adding fruit flavor.
02Refrigerator Thawing: Place the desired quantity in a covered container and thaw in the refrigerator until softened.
03Cold-Water Thawing: For quicker thawing, place the sealed package or container in cold water and use once softened.
04Avoid Excess Heat: Avoid microwave thawing when possible, as rapid heating may soften the fruit and affect texture.
05Handle Gently: Thawed raspberries are delicate and may release juice. Stir gently to help preserve their shape.

Storage
Keep frozen raspberries properly stored to help preserve their quality, flavor, and texture.
01Store Frozen: Keep at −18°C (0°F) or below until ready to use. Maintaining a consistent freezer temperature helps preserve product quality.
02Reseal After Opening: Reseal the original packaging tightly after each use, or transfer the raspberries to an airtight, freezer-safe container. This helps minimize exposure to air and moisture, reducing the risk of freezer burn.
03Cold Chain Delivery: Delivered via temperature-controlled transport across Metro Manila and available for pickup in Makati to help maintain the frozen cold chain during transit.
Shelf Life
Simple guidelines for maintaining quality during storage.
01Best-Before Guidance: When stored continuously at −18°C (0°F) or below, frozen raspberries can maintain their best quality until the best-before date indicated on the packaging.
02Refreezing Guidance: Once fully thawed, avoid refreezing, as repeated freeze-thaw cycles may affect the fruit's texture and appearance.
03After Thawing: Store thawed raspberries in a covered container in the refrigerator and consume within 2 to 3 days for best quality.
