Last month, we welcomed a customer from Mexico who planned to start a new business – processing potatoes into diced potatoes and selling them to local restaurants after packaging. This ready-to-use diced potato product not only saves a lot of preparation time for catering companies, but also improves the standardization of ingredients.
We tailor a complete potato processing solution to meet the specific needs of our customers. The entire process includes:
1. Potato cleaning and peeling
First, use a potato cleaning machine and peeling equipment to process fresh potatoes to remove mud and skin to ensure that the raw materials are clean and hygienic.
2. Potato dicing
Use a professional dicing machine to cut the processed potatoes into uniform diced pieces for easy packaging and cooking.
3. Secondary cleaning
The diced potatoes are washed again in a washing machine to remove excess starch, prevent sticking and extend the shelf life.
4. Vacuum Packaging
Finally, we recommend using a vacuum packaging machine to seal the potato cubes.
So, why is vacuum packaging recommended?
- Extend shelf life: Vacuum packaging can effectively isolate air, slow down the oxidation and discoloration of potatoes and the growth of bacteria, thereby greatly extending the shelf life of the product.
- Keep the product fresh: The vacuum environment helps to lock in the moisture and taste of the ingredients, and maintain the original flavor and texture of the potato cubes.
- Easy to transport and sell: The packaged products are neat and beautiful, which is convenient for cold chain transportation and sales in supermarkets and catering channels.
- Meet customer needs: The customer’s goal is to supply ready-to-use ingredients to restaurants, and vacuum packaging is more suitable for this market positioning.
We always insist on providing customers with processing solutions that meet actual needs. If you have similar food processing projects, please feel free to contact us.
