TCVN IQF Frozen Lemongrass

This is where IQF Frozen Lemongrass from Thanh Cong Vina becomes a game-changer—offering the perfect balance of freshness, convenience, and quality. With our advanced processing and freezing technology, we deliver lemongrass that retains its vibrant aroma, essential oils, and culinary performance, making it an ideal ingredient for foodservice, retail, and industrial applications.

What Is IQF Frozen Lemongrass?

IQF (Individually Quick Frozen) Lemongrass is made from freshly harvested lemongrass stalks that are washed, trimmed, and cut into uniform pieces before being rapidly frozen at ultra-low temperatures. The IQF process freezes each piece separately, ensuring that the product maintains its shape, aroma, flavor, and color while remaining easy to handle and portion.

Thanh Cong Vina’s IQF lemongrass eliminates the hassle of peeling, chopping, and storage concerns. It offers the same culinary quality as fresh lemongrass—available year-round and ready to use straight from the freezer.

Why Choose Lemongrass?

Lemongrass has gained global recognition for its culinary, aromatic, and health-promoting properties. It is widely used in the food, beverage, and wellness industries for its unique taste, natural oils, and versatility.

1. Distinctive Flavor Profile

Lemongrass has a fresh, lemony aroma with subtle notes of ginger and mint. It adds depth and brightness to both sweet and savory recipes, especially in Southeast Asian, Indian, and Caribbean cuisines.

2. Rich in Antioxidants and Essential Oils

Lemongrass contains key compounds such as citral, limonene, and geraniol that have antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory effects.
