As food processors worldwide seek premium, natural ingredients that meet both quality and regulatory standards, frozen black currants are emerging as a top-tier raw material — especially for functional foods, juices, and health supplements. With rising consumer demand for clean-label, antioxidant-rich ingredients, our solution combines proven sourcing, advanced freezing technology, and full cold chain logistics to deliver consistent, high-value results.
Our black currants originate from certified organic farms in Northern Europe, where climate conditions naturally enhance anthocyanin content. Each berry undergoes manual selection — a process that ensures an 87% whole-fruit rate (vs. industry average of 65%). This attention to detail preserves texture, color, and uniformity — critical for B2B clients using these berries in ready-to-drink beverages or bakery fillings.
Using industrial-grade blast freezing at -35°C within 30 minutes of harvest, we lock in freshness. Studies show this method retains up to 92% of polyphenols compared to traditional slow freezing (which loses ~40%). The result? A vibrant purple hue, intense tart flavor, and maximum nutritional value — all essential for product differentiation in competitive markets like Germany and the UAE.
| Nutrient | Per 100g (Frozen) |
|---|---|
| Polyphenols | 1,200 mg |
| Vitamin C | 180 mg |
| Antioxidant Capacity (ORAC) | 12,500 μmol TE/g |
Every batch is tested by third-party labs (SGS, Eurofins) for heavy metals, pesticides, and microbiological safety — meeting EU Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 and GCC standards for Middle East exports. Our HACCP-certified facility ensures traceability from farm to freezer, giving buyers peace of mind when sourcing for sensitive applications like infant nutrition or sports supplements.
We offer flexible packaging options — from 5kg vacuum-sealed bags to 15kg export-ready boxes — tailored to your processing needs. Combined with temperature-controlled shipping (maintained between -25°C to -35°C), our system prevents thawing during transit, ensuring product integrity even across long-haul routes like Rotterdam to Dubai.
One European juice manufacturer reported a 23% increase in shelf life after switching to our frozen black currants — thanks to reduced oxidation and better consistency in blending. Another client in Saudi Arabia successfully launched a new antioxidant-rich smoothie line using our berries, achieving strong sales in just six months.
