Frozen Okra – Naturally Vibrant Green, Retaining Mucilage and Nutritional Value
Okra is not only a familiar vegetable in Vietnamese daily meals but is also regarded as a “superfood” in many countries, thanks to its high fiber content, vitamin C, folic acid, and especially its natural mucilage, which supports digestive health, cardiovascular function, and blood sugar control. With its mild flavor, slightly crunchy texture when cooked, and signature “viscous” consistency, okra has become increasingly popular in healthy diets, vegetarian cuisine, and macrobiotic eating.
To meet year-round demand and cater to export markets, BQF (Block Quick Frozen) okra has emerged as the perfect solution, preserving the natural freshness, vibrant green color, and internal structure of the vegetable. The product is made from carefully selected young and tender okra pods, thoroughly cleaned, trimmed or left whole (depending on market requirements), and then deep-frozen to retain moisture and natural mucilage—without the use of additives or preservatives.
Frozen okra is currently a favored item in Japanese, Korean, Middle Eastern, and European foodservice sectors, where it is used in soups, curries, stir-fries, grilled dishes, vegetarian stews, or salads. Beyond saving time in preparation and storage, the product ensures food safety and supports consistent menu quality for industrial kitchens and food processing plants throughout the year.
Significantly, BQF okra retains its signature mucilage—a quality indicator especially valued in dishes such as sour soup, hot pots, and nourishing recipes. This viscous gel, rich in soluble fiber, contributes to lowering cholesterol, stabilizing blood glucose levels, and enhancing digestive efficiency.
The product can be packed in vacuum-sealed PE bags or carton boxes with liner bags, stored at -18°C, with a shelf life of 12–24 months. Processing is carried out in facilities compliant with HACCP and ISO standards, with export documentation available upon request to meet the requirements of each target market.
Frozen Okra – a clean, green, and high-potential ingredient solution for the modern food industry, connecting the traditional nutritional values of Vietnam with dining tables around the world.
