Description
Product Overview
Vietfrost is a specialist IQF Sugar Apple Supplier in Vietnam, processing premium Frozen Sugar Apple (also known as Custard Apple or Sweetsop) during the June-October harvest. Sugar Apple is beloved for its creamy, custard-like flesh with intense natural sweetness and tropical aroma – often compared to a blend of Banana, Pineapple, and Vanilla.
IQF Sugar Apple serves niche but growing demand from Premium Dessert Producers, Ice Cream Manufacturers, Smoothie Brands, and Gourmet Foodservice Operators. The fruit’s unique flavor profile and creamy texture make it a standout ingredient for differentiated product lines. Sugar Apple is particularly popular in Latin American and Caribbean markets, where it is known as “Anon” or “Ata.”
Vietnam’s Ninh Thuan and Binh Thuan provinces are the country’s primary Sugar Apple growing regions. Fresh Sugar Apple is extremely perishable, making IQF processing the only viable method for international supply. Our process separates pulp from seeds and flash-freezes at -40°C, delivering ready-to-use creamy pulp with 24-month shelf life.
Packaging Options
