The Low GI (GI 53) indicates slower carbohydrate absorption. The product contains wheat and legume components, and is not suitable for gluten-free or soy-free diets. Each bun provides 4.2g dietary fiber from whole grain sources.
The product addresses growing consumer demand for lower-sodium, whole grain options in restaurants, cafés, and corporate catering. It works as a breakfast staple for health-focused menu concepts, and as a dim sum item for Cantonese and fusion restaurants. The 10-minute preparation time supports fast-casual operations with limited kitchen staff. The balanced sweetness of red bean paste appeals to consumers seeking reduced-sugar desserts and snacks without compromising flavor.
The 420g pack size fits standard frozen food shelf dimensions, with clear front-of-pack Low GI marking for consumer visibility.
The soft texture is suitable for elderly diners with dental challenges, while the portion-controlled 70g buns support consistent carbohydrate counting for diabetic meal programs. The product works in hospital patient menus, rehabilitation center meal programs, and university campus dining halls offering healthy meal options.
Do not thaw product before cooking. Remove buns from plastic packaging and place in steamer trays lined with parchment paper or lightly oiled, leaving 3cm spacing between buns to allow for expansion during heating. Place trays above vigorously boiling water, cover, and steam over medium heat for 10 minutes. Buns are ready when dough springs back when gently pressed and filling reaches a minimum internal temperature of 75℃.
Maintain constant frozen storage at or below -18℃ for 12 months shelf life from production date. Avoid temperature fluctuations during storage, as thaw-refreeze cycles cause dough cracking and filling leakage. Once opened and partially used, seal remaining buns in an airtight container and use within 30 days. Do not refrigerate product, as refrigeration temperatures accelerate starch retrogradation and produce a dry, firm texture.
Additional certifications include HACCP, ISO 22000 and FDA facility registration.
