Manufacturing Process:
  1. Receiving & Inspection: Fresh spinach leaves are delivered from contracted farms and inspected for color, cleanliness, and leaf integrity.

  2. Sorting & Washing: Leaves pass through multi-stage washing to remove sand, soil, and field impurities.

  3. Chopping: Spinach is finely chopped to a consistent particle size.

  4. Blanching: The chopped spinach is blanched to stabilize color, preserve nutrients, and ensure microbiological safety.

  5. Cooling & Draining: Rapid cooling is applied, followed by draining to remove excess water.

  6. Forming Cubes: The chopped spinach is portioned into uniform cubes for easy handling and consistent portion control.

  7. IQF Freezing: Cubes are individually quick frozen at −35°C to −40°C to preserve shape, color, and freshness.

  8. Metal Detection & Packing: Frozen cubes undergo metal detection, are weighed, packed in food-grade bags, and sealed in export cartons.

  9. Cold Storage: Stored at −18°C until loading into pre-cooled reefer containers.
