Frozen Baby Corn

Vietnamese Frozen Baby Corn – Premium Quality for Global Export

Origin

Vietnamese frozen baby corn (young corn) is renowned for its natural crispness, sweet flavor, uniform kernels, and attractive light golden color, thanks to the tropical climate and advanced farming techniques. Vietnam is one of the largest exporters of frozen baby corn in Asia and ranks among the top globally. Key production regions include:

• Mekong Delta (Tien Giang, Ben Tre, Vinh Long, Dong Thap): Largest production area with high yields and proximity to export ports.
• Southeast region (Dong Nai, Binh Duong): Large-scale cultivation for export.
• Central Highlands (Lam Dong, Gia Lai): High-quality baby corn due to cooler climate.

Production Process

1. Cultivation of specialized baby corn varieties (harvested when cobs are 6-12 cm long, before pollination).
2. Hand-harvesting in the early morning to maintain freshness.
3. Washing, trimming stems, and size grading.
4. Quick blanching (brief hot water treatment) to preserve color and crispness.
5. Shock freezing (IQF - Individual Quick Freezing) at -35°C to -40°C.
6. Packaging and storage at -18°C.
7. Quality inspection and fumigation (if required).
