Frequently asked questions
Yes, and in some cases more so. IBIC’s I.Q.F. broccoli is blanched and frozen within hours of harvest, locking in Vitamin C (135% DV per serving) and other nutrients at peak levels. Fresh broccoli loses Vitamin C during transport and storage — research shows frozen broccoli often contains comparable or higher Vitamin C than fresh broccoli that has been stored for several days.
Sulforaphane is a bioactive compound in cruciferous vegetables, particularly broccoli, associated with anti-inflammatory and potentially cancer-protective properties. Blanching before freezing activates the enzyme system that produces sulforaphane precursors, and I.Q.F. storage maintains the broccoli’s ability to generate sulforaphane when thawed and eaten — though cooking temperatures above 70°C reduce sulforaphane content.
IBIC frozen broccoli florets are HALAL certified, produced under ISO 9001:2015 quality management and ISO 22000 food safety management systems, and comply with HACCP and GMP protocols. All products conform to WHO and EC pesticide residue limits, making them suitable for European, North American, and GCC import markets.
