SALINAS, CA – Mann Packing will launch two items—Arcadian Harvest Emerald® and Kalettes™ brand Kale sprouts—and feature its Salad Solutions program at the PMA Produce Foodservice Expo this year in Monterey, Calif.
Mann’s Arcadian Harvest Emerald® is the first all green lettuce salad blend since chopped Romaine. A blend of two green leaves, with a sweet crisp bite and a sophisticated leaf shape, Arcadian Harvest Emerald® is ideal for upscale salads, said Gina Nucci, director of healthy culinary innovation.
Arcadian Harvest Emerald® joins Mann’s other Arcadian Harvest® premium fresh lettuces as part of its Salad Solutions program for foodservice operators.
“Our blends are comprised of carefully selected varieties, cut just once in the field, washed and packaged, to provide an array of lettuces that look and taste fresh from the garden,” Nucci said.
Mann will also introduce Kalettes™ brand Kale sprouts at the trade show. Mann’s Kalettes™ are a new hybrid vegetable, a cross between kale and Brussels sprouts. Mann’s will offer Kalettes™ in a 2.5 pound size bag for foodservice. All items will be on display at the PMA Foodservice Produce Expo on Sunday, July 27 in Booth #139.
In addition, Mann’s will serve samples of Arcadian Harvest Emerald Caesar spring rolls, a recipe created by Chef Lindsey Hull. The recipe is a finalist in the PMA Foodservice Sensory Experience contest; Mann’s entry won the contest last year.
