   Maintaining our stock in-house not only improves control of our products, but also enables us to provide less-than-truckload shipping and mixed-load capabilities. These facilities, combined with our supply chain, enable us to provide an industry-best, seven day order lead time.

   All our ingredients are cooked and individually quick-frozen without the addition of preservatives, synthetic colors, or other additives.

   Conventional & organic IQF RICE

 We offer you rice from all around the world so that you can innovate your food business with:  

   IQF Wild Rice

Wild Rice is the seed from a wild marsh grass and has a nutty taste and chewy texture. Various grades and blends are available, and can be used as a gourmet ingredient in soups, stuffing, casseroles, and other products, providing contrast in texture and appearance. 

   IQF Arborio

This short-grain rice is sticky when cooked and has a mild flavor—this  is exactly why Arborio is the perfect rice for risotto.

   IQF White and Brown Long Grain Rice

Ebrofrost North America produces a broad range of long-grain rice products, including plain white, yellow, and rice mixed with oils and spices. By only removing the hulls, brown rice maintains its silver skin and germ bud, which preserves vitamins and nutrients. With its light nutty aroma, it is particularly well suited for healthy dishes and salads. 

   IQF Jasmine

Our Jasmine Rice is imported from Thailand. This aromatic long-grain rice cooks to a soft, slightly clingy texture.

   IQF Basmati

Our Basmati Rice is imported from India. This aromatic long-grain rice elongates when cooked, and has a sweet and delicate flavor.

   IQF Red Rice

Red rice has a sweet and nutty flavor with a more chewy texture than white polished rice.

   IQF Black Rice

Also known as the forbidden rice, has the most antioxidants of all the rice varieties. This rice has a nutty, earthy flavor and a very subtle interior.

   IQF Calrose  

This medium-grain rice was developed and is grown in California. Calrose holds flavor well and is soft and sticks together, making it ideal for preparing sushi.

Our conventional & organic IQF GRAINS varieties are the base for an innovative and new meal solution for your business, offering a whole new world of colors, textures, and flavors with, among many others: 

   IQF Lentils (Red, Green, Brown, and Black)

As an ingredient, the red lentil is ideal for curries and stuffing. The brown lentil has a little more of a mild and earthy flavor, and is delicious blended into soups. Black lentils retain their shape and have a delicate taste. The green lentil has a peppery taste and works well as a warm side dish.

   IQF Quinoa (Red and White)

Quinoa is a flavorful, healthy, and versatile ingredient that dates back to the Incas and is still grown in Bolivia and Peru, and also extends to other countries. The small round grains have a mild taste and a firm, slightly chewy texture. When cooked, the grains sweeten and become translucent with white rings.  

   Conventional & organic IQF PASTA

Our precooked and quick-frozen pasta will become your new ingredient for your next generation of ready meals, bringing superior taste and texture to them.  You can choose from a vast variety of pasta shapes including everything from whole wheat to gluten free, as well as  fresh-extruded pasta nests like spaghetti, tagliatelle 2-eggs, linguine, ramen, soba, udon and Chinese egg noodles.
