Ark Foods is placing renewed emphasis on its bagged specialty pepper line as consumers look for versatile, flavor-driven ingredients for everyday cooking in the year ahead
IMMOKALEE, FL – Ark Foods is putting peppers in the spotlight. As home cooks settle back into everyday routines, the modern-day farming company is highlighting its lineup of bagged specialty peppers, a standout collection designed to bring variety and inspiration to the produce aisle.
From mild and snackable to bold and spicy, Ark Foods’ pepper offerings include Shishito, Cubanelle, Poblano, Jalapeño, Jimmy Nardello, Hungarian Wax, and a Hot Pepper Medley. Each variety is packed in convenient tote bags, making it easier for shoppers to explore new flavors while keeping cooking simple and approachable.
For Ark Foods, peppers are more than just a supporting ingredient; they’re an opportunity to rethink how consumers experience vegetables.
“Peppers offer remarkable range, yet many consumers engage with only a narrow portion of what the category usually offers,” said Noah Robbins, founder and CEO of Ark Foods. “Our objective is to remove barriers to exploration by educating customers on the varying spice levels and providing recipes or suggested use cases for them to have fun with.
