Guava is known for its refreshing tropical aroma, soft texture and pleasant sweet–tangy flavour. DWBL Foods produces IQF Guava Slices using ripe, high-quality guavas sourced from major growing regions such as Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. These regions consistently produce guavas with good flavour, colour and smooth flesh—ideal for slicing and IQF processing.
With both IQF (Individually Quick Frozen) and Blast Freezer systems, we provide guava slices in formats suitable for industrial processing, foodservice and export markets.
Product Overview
Our IQF Guava Slices are produced by washing, trimming and slicing fresh guavas, followed by rapid individual quick freezing. IQF technology ensures that each slice freezes separately, retaining its natural shape and preventing clumping. Blast freezing is also available for bulk-frozen or block formats.
No artificial colours, flavours or preservatives are used.
