Zhejiang Fengzi Food Unveils New Wormwood‑Infused Pastry for Global Foodservice Market

ZHEJIANG, China — Zhejiang Fengzi Food Co., Ltd., a leading manufacturer specializing in authentic Jiangnan‑style frozen dim sum, officially introduces Wormwood Glutinous Rice Cake to its global‑oriented product catalogue. As more international foodservice operators seek unique Asian‑flavor frozen items with clean‑label ingredients, this newly optimized frozen pastry fills market gaps for hotel buffets, Chinese‑style banquets, group catering projects and chain restaurant menus across different regions around the world.

The creation of Wormwood Glutinous Rice Cake originates from time‑honored Jiangnan folk food customs. Wormwood, or mugwort, has long been used in traditional Chinese food preparation for its distinctive light herbal aroma and natural plant‑based color. In past years, many overseas buyers showed strong interest in plant‑infused traditional Chinese snacks, yet few factory‑made frozen versions could keep stable texture, original herbal fragrance and consistent appearance after long‑distance cold‑chain shipping. Responding to repeated feedback from global partners, our R&D team spent months on raw‑material screening, steaming parameter testing and quick‑freezing process adjustment before finalizing the formula of Wormwood Glutinous Rice Cake.

Raw‑material selection stands as the foundation for high‑quality pastry performance. For this product, our procurement team picks high‑grade non‑glutinous‑mixed glutinous rice to guarantee soft‑chewy bite without excessive stickiness. Natural wormwood is carefully harvested, cleaned and processed to retain its unique scent while removing bitter impurities. No artificial pigment or heavy synthetic flavor is added into the formula. Every batch of raw materials will go through incoming‑goods inspection inside our factory laboratory, making sure pesticide residue and heavy‑metal indexes satisfy both domestic standards and international food‑import requirements for foodservice‑grade frozen food.

Manufacturing of Wormwood Glutinous Rice Cake takes place in our standardized closed production workshops which hold ISO9001, ISO22000 and HACCP management‑system certifications. The whole production workflow includes rice soaking, grinding, mixing with wormwood paste, shaping, steam cooking, instant quick‑freezing, automatic packaging and metal‑detecting check. The ultra‑low‑temperature quick‑freezing technology locks fresh taste and soft texture immediately after steaming, preventing texture deterioration during long‑term frozen storage. Each finished carton undergoes metal detection and random sampling test before leaving factory. Strict batch‑record system enables full traceability for every production lot, which brings great convenience for importers and foodservice purchasers doing quality management for their supply chain.

From the practical kitchen‑operation perspective for commercial clients, Wormwood Glutinous Rice Cake belongs to ready‑to‑steam frozen dim sum and requires no pre‑thawing work. Kitchen staff only need to remove outer package and steam over boiling water for several minutes before serving. Such simple cooking workflow largely cuts manual preparation cost for hotels and catering companies. Compared with handmade counterparts, the factory‑produced frozen pastry delivers unified size, color and mouthfeel for every single piece, helping chefs maintain stable plating presentation for banquets and buffet lines. This item fits multiple usage occasions: it can be served as breakfast buffet dessert, cold‑warm appetizer for Chinese banquets, featured snack for themed‑restaurant menus, or convenient quick‑serve dish for large‑scale group catering events.

Cold‑chain logistics performance has always been one major concern for cross‑border frozen‑food buyers. Wormwood Glutinous Rice Cake holds a 12‑month shelf‑life when stored below minus 18 degrees Celsius, and can sustain stable product status under qualified cold‑chain transport below minus 12℃. Our export‑oriented outer carton and inner package follow international labelling rules, containing clear product name, ingredient statement, storage instruction, cooking guidance and batch information. Our sales and technical team can offer document support including production certificates, test reports and customs‑related materials to assist overseas importers for local customs clearance procedures.

Zhejiang Fengzi Food keeps focusing on balancing traditional‑pastry inheritance and modern industrialized manufacturing. Besides Wormwood Glutinous Rice Cake, our product lineup covers dozens of Jiangnan‑style frozen dim sum series including osmanthus rice cake, cherry‑blossom rice cake and crispy bite‑size snacks. We provide flexible bulk wholesale terms for international foodservice partners. Apart from existing standard SKUs, our R&D department also accepts moderate customization requests, such as adjusting sweetness degree, improving package format for special market demands, to satisfy diversified requirements from different countries and regions.

“We notice that global foodservice markets are growing demand for authentic Asian‑style frozen specialties with clean ingredients,” commented our sales director. “We hope Wormwood Glutinous Rice Cake can become one competitive featured‑dish choice for worldwide hotel and catering operators. We keep improving our production capacity, quality‑control process and cross‑border‑service capability, to bring more safe, tasty Jiangnan‑origin frozen dim sum to global wholesale buyers.”
