What This Line Is
Canned strawberries in halves, slices or whole berries, packed in syrup, water or juice across three brix bands from 11 to 22 percent. The product is available in tins from 425G to 3000G and glass jars from 330ML to 1700ML, with multiple pack sizes per carton. The cannery is located in Xiayi County, Shangqiu City, Henan Province, China, and the strawberry line is planned against your order rather than against a fixed local harvest calendar.

Compared With the Alternatives
Honest trade-offs rather than a list of reasons to buy.
| Canned raspberries | Strawberry holds a firmer texture and a more consistent size while raspberry is softer and more fragile |
|---|---|
| Canned apricots | Strawberry carries a softer texture and a more fragile berry than apricot halves, which hold their shape better in a catering tin |
| Frozen strawberries | Ambient storage and no cold chain, against a softer texture than IQF fruit |
| Canned fruit cocktail | A single fruit gives consistent size and colour while the cocktail pack gives visual variety at a lower fruit cost |
Canned Strawberries Questions
Which brix level should we order?
The three bands are 11 to 14, 14 to 17 and 18 to 22 percent. The usual approach is to match the sweetness of the product already on the shelf you are entering, then decide whether you sit above or below it.
Which cut style is available for strawberries?
Halves slices and whole berries are all available, cut from the same fruit intake based on the order specification.
When does strawberry production run?
Strawberry is planned against your order. Apricot, peach and pear are the lines tied to a fixed local harvest window, so those are the ones to book earliest in a mixed fruit programme.
Can strawberries be packed in juice rather than syrup?
Yes. Syrup, water and juice are all available, and juice packs normally sit in the lower brix band.
What pack sizes are available for retail?
425G and 820G tins packed 24 to a carton, and jars from 330ML through 720ML for a premium tier.
How far does the fruit travel before it is canned?
The cannery is in Xiayi County, Shangqiu City, Henan Province, China, at the junction of the Henan, Shandong, Jiangsu and Anhui provinces.
