CHELSEA, Mass. — State Garden Inc., a leading supplier of organic and conventional tender leaf greens, spinach and celery hearts, is now packing celery sticks in a peal and reseal container. The new packaging offered in both 8oz and 16oz sizes is on shelves today under the Simple Beginnings brand name.
“It’s the best celery snack item out there” says Ken Reagan, State Garden’s VP of Sales. “It’s the perfect fun snack size for moms and kids. Pop the 8oz container in a lunch box, and keep the 16oz in the fridge for juicing and smoothies.” And with summer vacation right around the corner, it’s a great on-the-go summer snack.
Widely used in salads and soups, celery is a staple in many cuisines, including Cajun, French, and American. Celery is a good source of phenolic phytonutrients that have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It’s rich in vitamins K, C, A, B2 and folates among others. But in recent years, celery heart sales have remained flat. Sales of celery sticks, however, have increased measurably due to the increased convenience. “Our new celery sticks are washed and packed in peal and reseal trays. Just pull the tab and grab a stick. The container reseals tight and easy helping to maintain freshness. They’re ideal for coolers or anytime you’re on the go.” Reagan added.
A pioneer in fresh produce, State Garden has been packaging celery for 78 years. Simple Beginnings new Celery Sticks are washed, packaged and delivered daily.
