One full bag of 1kg (2.2lbs) naturally farmed fresh frozen dice cut butternut squash from Belgium, Europe. No use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. GMO-free. Freshly harvested, blanched, and then individually flash-frozen (IQF) for freshness and quality. Butternut squash is great mashed, roasted, or as a key ingredient in delicious dishes such as soups, sauces, pasta, curries, and more!

Blanching is a non-chemical simple process of scalding the vegetables for 60 seconds in 90°C (200°F) hot water and then shock cooling in ice water to stop the cooking process. Blanching stops enzyme actions that cause loss of flavor, color, and texture, it also cleanses the surface of dirt and organisms, brightens the color, and helps to preserve the vitamins.
