Duda Farm Fresh Foods' Ready To Eat Radishes To Debut At PMA Fresh Summit

OVIEDO, FL – Duda Farm Fresh Foods is planning multiple activities at PMA Fresh Summit this year including launching a new line of ready to eat radishes.

“Duda is all about innovation and doing things differently and we want to bring that fresh approach to everything we do at PMA,” said Nichole Towell, director of marketing.  “Our theme this is year is Dandy® Delivers – quality, safety, service and innovation.”

At the show, Duda will introduce Ready to Eat Radishes, a line of three fresh cut radish products and feature the items as ingredients in award winning original recipes in booth #2430.

“We saw an opportunity to innovate in the radish category – offering new forms with compelling product benefits. After exploring billions of potential combinations for new radish products we chose the top three, as items consumers would purchase with the most amount of frequency,” Towell, said. “We built our program around Ready Radishes, which are cut, trimmed, and ready to eat, along with Radish Coins and Radish MiniSticks. Our research shows these products will entice the radish lover and the younger non-radish user who may be discouraged from using the item due to prep and unfamiliarity.”

On Saturday, Chef Todd Fisher will be serving Ciabatta and Burrata with Dandy Radish Mini Sticks & Celery “Crudo,” his award winning Lemon Grass Steamed Chicken Bahn Mi with Celery and Radish Mini Stick “Quickles,” and Dandy Citrus Tartlets with Burnt Meringue.

On Sunday the chef will serve Grilled Tombo Tuna Tacos with a Dandy Radish Mini Stick and Black Garlic Slaw, Lemon Grass Steamed Chicken Bahn Mi with Celery and Radish Mini Stick “Quickles,” and Dandy Meyer Lemon Panna Cota with Clementine Conserva.

Duda is part of #TeamFreshSummit, a social street team project that invited 16 food bloggers to blog live from the PMA show floor.  Duda is paired with Carly Morgan from Ever Clever Mom and Megan Myers from Stetted who will each blog for two hours on Saturday and Sunday.

“We look forward to the new eyes and experience the bloggers will bring to the show,” Towell said. “We understand and appreciate the power of bloggers and we are excited to have these bloggers act as Dandy brand ambassadors and create a positive association for the whole fresh produce industry.”
