Frozen Apples
From the Pacific Northwest orchards to your application
Tree Top frozen apples are the closest thing to straight-from-the-tree! But we've done all the work for you: they are washed, peeled, cored, sorted, trimmed, and cut to the desired piece size. They are either Individually Quick Frozen (IQF) or blast frozen for blanched and solid packed apple styles.
Why choose frozen apples?
-
Because they:
- Are available as an all-natural fruit ingredient
- Come in many shapes including diced, cross cut, wedges, slices, in a variety of sizes
- Are available Individually Quick Frozen (IQF), or solid pack
- Start as Pacific Northwest apples, regarded by many as the best in the world
- Retain the unique qualities of their variety: Fuji, Golden Delicious, Gala, Granny Smith, and others upon request

Let us work with you to create a product to take advantage of the latest
fruit consumption recommendations. Incorporating a full serving of fruit
into your product creates a marketable advantage.
Preservative Options
Preservatives are used to delay enzymatic browning. We offer our fresh chilled and frozen apples preserved with sodium sulfite, alternative, or without preservatives. Frozen applications typically are treated with sulfite alternative.
Sulfited
Sodium Sulfite: 200 ppm maximum
Sodium sulfite is very effective at inhibiting both enzymatic and non-enzymatic
browning, and has been used for centuries in its gas form (sulfur dioxide)
for this purpose.
Alternative Treatment
Ascorbic Acid, Citric Acid, Salts
Alternative serves as both an antioxidant and an acidulant. In inhibiting
oxidation, it does not destroy the enzymes, but rather is preferentially
oxidized in place of other substrates, since browning occurs after thaw.
Storage
Frozen: store at minus 10°F
