About vegetables; spinach, new zealand spinach and orache spinach (garden spinach), uncooked or cooked by steaming or boiling in water, frozen

HS code 071030 covers a range of frozen spinach products, including traditional spinach, New Zealand spinach, and orache spinach. This industry plays a vital role in the global food supply chain, providing a convenient and nutritious source of leafy greens for consumers worldwide. As a versatile ingredient, frozen spinach is widely used in a variety of culinary applications, from soups and stews to side dishes and sauces, making it an important component of the broader 020000 Vegetable and Fruit industry.

Production process

The production of frozen spinach typically involves several key steps. First, the spinach is harvested at the peak of freshness, often using specialized machinery to efficiently gather the leaves. The harvested spinach is then thoroughly washed and cleaned to remove any dirt or debris. Next, the spinach is blanched, a process of briefly submerging the leaves in boiling water or steam, which helps to preserve their color, texture, and nutritional content. Finally, the blanched spinach is rapidly frozen, either through individual quick freezing (IQF) or in larger blocks, to lock in freshness and extend the product's shelf life.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of frozen spinach include the raw spinach leaves, which are typically sourced from dedicated spinach farms or larger 011000 Field Crop and Vegetable operations. Additionally, the industry relies on water for washing and blanching, as well as specialized freezing equipment and packaging materials to ensure the final product is preserved and protected during storage and transportation.

Production outputs

The primary output of the frozen spinach industry is, of course, the frozen spinach itself, which is then distributed and sold to a wide range of consumers and commercial customers. This includes 151000 Animal and Vegetable Fats and Oils manufacturers, 160000 Meat, Fish, and Seafood Preparations producers, and 190000 Preparations of Cereals, Flour, Starch or Milk; Pastrycooks' Products companies, all of which may incorporate frozen spinach into their own product formulations.
