IQF Avocado

Here at Kiril Mischeff, we pride ourselves on being a leading supplier of frozen fruit and vegetables to the UK food and drinks manufacturing industry. We have offices in both Buckinghamshire and Nottinghamshire. We freeze our avocados in ready cut slices, halves or in chunks. We then treat it with an acidified solution to prevent the unattractive browning that occurs if this process is not carried out. We think this is the perfect way of preparing the fruit for food businesses capitalising on this healthy trend.

Avocado has become very popular, especially among the health and fitness conscious, as it has many health benefits. It is known to contain a heart healthy fat called oleic acid that helps lower cardiovascular inflammation. It also contains a nutrient called beta-sitosterol (the plant version of cholesterol) which helps to lower your cholesterol levels.

Our expert growers in Mexico and Peru use the popular Haas variety. They are native to tropical countries like central America and love plenty of warmth, sunshine and moisture. Once planted, an avocado takes 3 or 4 years to fruit, so we know that once established we have a reliable and responsible source.

It is known to be an excellent source of folate and supply more soluble fibre than any other fruit. They are full of useful minerals such as copper, iron and potassium, all vital for a healthy immune system as well as many other benefits. Avocados are also packed with vitamins A, D, E and B6, proteins, amino acids, magnesium, folic acid and if eaten regularly can contribute to healthy hair, eyes and maintain healthy digestion.
