SALINAS – The New York Produce Show and Conference awarded FOXY PRODUCE (www.foxy.com) with the Joe Nucci Award for Product Innovation. The Award honors companies for product innovation in service of expanding fresh fruit and vegetable consumption. Foxy Produce was recognized for the development and introduction of their new vegetable, the BroccoLeaf http://thebroccoleaf.com (organic broccoli leaves).
For years, American produce growers have utilized broccoli leaves to cleanse and nourish the soil. Yet, the leaves were widely overlooked as a standalone culinary vegetable. What proved to be good for the Earth is also good for the body, as BroccoLeaf is a magical and delicious superfood veggie. Among the significant health attributes:
- Organic BroccoLeaf provides an Excellent source of Calcium
- Delivers an adult dose of Vitamin C
- Packed with Folate (a key nutrient for heart health and pregnancy)
- Loaded with phytonutrients which contain the heroes of detoxification (the 3 cancer fighting Glucosinates)
Foxy Vice President of Marketing, Matt Seeley said, “We are so thrilled to have received this award and want to thank the New York Produce Show for their recognition of the BroccoLeaf and Foxy Organics. A special thank you to Lorri Koster of Mann Packing who presented the award to us and to Joe Nucci for having paved the way in product innovation.”
The BroccoLeaf made its retail debut in October 2014 and is currently available nationwide, with distribution growing daily.
