What This Line Is
Canned potatoes packed as whole, diced or sliced in water, in tin formats from 340G through to 2840G. The pack list covers retail, catering and manufacturing needs from a single production run, so an importer does not need to order from multiple suppliers. Canned at our plant in Xiayi County, Shangqiu City, Henan Province, on the same site and under the same inspection regime as our mushroom and fruit lines.
Key Benefits
- Whole, diced or sliced styles allow flexibility for different cooking applications
- Packed in water so salt and seasoning stay with the final recipe
- Retail tins at 340G and 425G fit standard shelf space without custom can design
- Catering tins at 2500G and 2840G suit batch cooking rather than individual portions
- Ships with our mushroom and vegetable lines in one mixed container
- Every tin passes double X-ray scanning before it is packed
Problems It Solves
- Buying potatoes from one factory and vegetables from another for one shelf
- Retail and catering formats arriving on different sailings from different suppliers
- Foreign matter risk on an own-brand product the retailer has to stand behind
- Opening volumes too small to justify a full container of a single line
- No control over seasoning when the tin arrives already flavoured

Use and Storage Guide

Compared With the Alternatives
Honest trade-offs rather than a list of reasons to buy.
| Dried potatoes | No rehydration step and a consistent drained weight per tin, against a higher freight cost per kilo of solids |
|---|---|
| Canned green beans | Potatoes hold a firmer texture and are more starchy, while green beans are more fibrous and less dense |
| Frozen potatoes | Ships and stores at ambient temperature with no cold chain, which suits kitchens with no spare freezer space |
| Potatoes already seasoned in the can | Water packing leaves the seasoning to your own recipe, at the cost of one extra step in the kitchen |
