Fiddlehead ferns are a chef's favorite this time of year! Peaking in the spring, the season begins with the early, purple-tinged varieties from the West, followed by the vibrant emerald, green varieties from the East as the season progresses. Contact your sales consultant about adding fiddleheads to your next order.

Did you know each head of romaine, including romaine hearts, is hand packed in the field? Our QA team is in the fields inspecting what makes the cut, and not everything does. 🥗

This time of year, things can change rapidly during the carefully orchestrated event known as The Annual Field Transition. Spring weather can be erratic as warm and cool temps vacillate and the season changes. Our QA team is in the field inspecting what makes the cut, and importantly, keeping us all in the loop via the FreshPress.

It's Wallpaper Wednesday...and this month we are talking about peppers!

Food anthropologists believe that the cultivation of chile peppers began in Central Mexico around 6,000 months ago, making it one of the oldest domesticated crops still in production.

Your on-the-go foodservice customers count on fresh, delicious and convenient options that taste great every time. But sometimes labor, packaging, ingredient availability or volume (large or small) can make it a challenge to serve customers consistently.

Made to order and hand-assembled from fresh ingredients, each Created Fresh! item is consistent to ensure that your repeat customers are always having the same great eating experience every time they purchase.

Our Created Fresh! grab-and-go line can fuel your customers from sunup to sundown...and have them returning day after day.

Contact your sales consultant today about our Created Fresh! line of grab-and-go offerings, now available in our Central Florida location as well as all of our East Coast companies. #peoplepassionproduce #ourfirstnameisfresh
