Salinas, CA: NewStar Fresh Foods, North America’s largest shipper of iceless green onions, today announced the introduction of microwavable asparagus into the company’s line-up of “Pick Me” value-added products.

“Asparagus is the perfect extension to our recent launch of fresh herbs, culinary herbs and green onions in the “Pick Me” brand of products. This addition reflects our ongoing commitment to our retail partners by supporting their marketing efforts with convenient, high-quality products in consumer-friendly packaging” said NewStar owner Anthony Vasquez. He went on to state that; “We have found that our brand resonates with the buyer community and has continually demonstrated broad based consumer appeal.”

The “Pick Me” line of products is packed in brightly colored, consumer-friendly packaging, complete with a UPC, taste profile and usage suggestions for the “at home chef”. In fact, “Pick Me” recently received an award for package design.

“Our customers are looking for alternative ways to meet consumer demand for fresh, healthy ingredients in a new dynamic way” said NewStar’s Tim Meissner. “The “Pick Me” line gives them an opportunity to market these fresh ingredients in attractive, educational, grab and go packaging.”
