MENU IQF (INDIVIDUALLY QUICK FROZEN) FREEZING PROCESS & INGREDIENTS Individually Quick Frozen (IQF) ingredients are produced by spreading freshly harvested herbs or vegetables in a single layer on a slow moving conveyor through sub-zero air. This flash-freezing technology results in a free-flowing individually quick frozen product that can easily be handled. You can trust in the quality and supply chain of Van Drunen Farms’ IQF products. Most ingredients are grown on our own farm in Momence, Illinois, USA. After harvest, we immediately place them in a cooling tank, then tumble, clean, and freeze them. We trace each product from seed to finished product. LET'S GET STARTED!
