IQF vs. dry vs. canned
From six prep steps to one.
The same black beans, three ways to get them on the plate.
| Dry beans | Canned beans | Seenergy IQF | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Prep steps | Sort, rinse, soak, cook, cool, portion | Open, drain, rinse, portion | Portion and heat |
| Hands-on time | Hours, planned a day ahead | Minutes per batch, plus can disposal | Minutes, straight from frozen |
| Same result at every location | Depends on the cook | Varies by brand and can | Same spec in every bag |
| Leftovers | A cooked batch to use within days | An open can to use fast | Unused product stays frozen, 18-month shelf life |
| Salt | Whatever the cook adds | Often salted in the can | No added salt; salted versions available |
