Muskmelon is a spherical shaped fruit with thick greenish-white skin and orange. The fruit contains high content of potassium, beta carotene and Vitamin A that ensures health benefits like enhanced immunity, healthy heart & skin and much more.
We prepare frozen muskmelon Balls/Dices/Chunks and it is produced through the following process under hygienic condition. Premium quality ripened fruits are graded, washed and peeled. The fruits are either made into balls by scooping or hand cut in the form of chunks as per customer’s request. The balls or chunks are cleaned, dewatered and transferred to the IQF. The IQF balls or chunks are put through a sieve, inspected, packed and then fed through a metal detector and stored at -18°C.
