THIS IS OUR PROCESS
You reach out, and say, "Hey! I have an idea." We source for you only the finest produce from one of our friendly farmers. From there, we bring the raw material into our facility where it will be washed, sorted and mashed. The result will be a fine ingredient holding true to the taste and texture of nature's ripest harvest. After we deliver, the rest is up to you! Time to create that blueberry pie from grandma's recipe that you've been dying to share with the world.
FROZEN PUREE
Cardinal Foods offers a single strength puree, unrivaled as a formulation ingredient. Fruit is crushed, heat treated, and filtered. Vegetables are mashed, resulting in a smooth liquidized puree. The single ingredient offers a true to taste addition to any recipe.
why puree?Because
it is just so
sweet!
Limit your ingredient list by adding an all- natural fruit or vegetable puree! We've tasted and approved. Don't stop there, purees are great additions to soups, marinades, jams, and so much more!
Our process delivers a sweet potato puree with the brix, or soluble sugar content of 12 allowing the natural sugars to remain center stage. The fully ripened fruit, used in our berry puree, gives a brix level no lower than 10 ensuing an all-natural sweetener.
what about brix?
