CASTROVILLE, Calif. (Aug. 8, 2017) – Ocean Mist Farms is proud to announce the expansion of its product line to include 3 lb. Brussels sprouts halves. On display at PMA Foodservice’s Fresh Ideas Showcase, the company extended the product line to the Foodservice segment as a natural progression of its dedication to the value-added program.
The halves come pre-washed, sliced and ready to prepare, diminishing prep-time for foodservice operators. Reducing the prep-time gives foodservice operators the liberty to exert more energy in recipe development and increases efficiencies.
“We’re passionate about expanding our product lines to better serve the end user,” said Diana McClean, director of marketing at Ocean Mist Farms. “Our value-added items have done well at retail, so we are excited to offer a similar approach to the Foodservice industry.”
Brussels sprouts, high in Vitamin C, were one of the first vegetables the Ocean Mist Farms family grew beginning in the early 1990s. Currently, Ocean Mist packages Brussels by the stalks, in clamshells, and ready-to-eat microwavable bags.
“It’s humbling to see how Ocean Mist has transformed over the years,” McClean said. “Our hope is to continue to spread our family farm values and high-quality products to our customers.”
Halves are available in 4×3, 6×3, or 8×3 case sizes. For more information about the company or products, visit www.oceanmist.com.
