Vietnamese Frozen Green Beans – Premium Quality for Global Export
Origin
Vietnamese frozen green beans (frozen French beans) are renowned for their bright natural green color, crisp sweetness, small tender seeds, and excellent retention of fresh flavor and texture after thawing, thanks to the tropical climate and advanced freezing technology. Vietnam is one of the largest exporters of frozen green beans in Asia and ranks among the top globally. Key production regions include:
- Mekong Delta (Tien Giang, Dong Thap, Long An, An Giang): Largest production area with high yields and proximity to export ports.
- Southeast region (Dong Nai, Binh Duong, Ba Ria - Vung Tau): Large-scale cultivation for export.
- Central Highlands (Lam Dong, Gia Lai): High-quality green beans due to cooler climate.
Production Process
- Cultivation of high-quality green bean varieties (harvested when pods are young and tender, 10-15 cm long, before seeds bulge).
- Hand-harvesting in the early morning to maintain freshness.
- Washing, trimming both ends, and grading by length and thickness.
- Quick blanching (brief hot water treatment) to preserve bright green color, crispness, and nutrients.
- Shock freezing using IQF (Individual Quick Freezing) at -35°C to -40°C.
- Packaging and storage at -18°C.
- Quality inspection, fumigation (if required), and pesticide residue testing.
