WHAT IS NUGGET ICE?
Soft, Chewable Pellet Ice — The Choice of Healthcare & QSR Chains
Nugget ice (also called pellet ice or sonic ice) is a small, cylindrical, porous ice pellet with a soft, chewable texture that absorbs beverage flavour. Unlike hard cube ice, nugget ice is gentle on teeth, cools drinks quickly and is preferred by healthcare facilities, QSR chains and convenience stores worldwide.
