Produce News Update
HELLO ALL
I HOPE EVERYTHING IS GOING WELL FOR YOU. THE HOLIDAYS WILL BE HERE BEFORE WE KNOW IT! IF YOU NEED MY CHRISTMAS LIST, JUST LET ME KNOW AND I WILL BE GLAD TO E-MAIL A COPY OF IT TO YOU!
FLORIDA CITRUS IS GETTING MUCH BETTER. WE HAVE NAVEL ORANGES, JUICE ORANGES FOR CUTTING AND TANGERINES. APPLES ARE STILL LOCAL AND GREAT QUALITY. USE THE RED, GOLD AND PRE-SLICED. KIWI IS AN EXCELLENT CHOICE...120 PER CASE. RED PEARS ARE A NEAT CHANGE OVER THE STANDARD GREEN. USE THE RED, WHITE AND BLACK GRAPES FOR A "WOW" PRESENTATION. REMEMBER TO ORDER THE BROCCOLI SLAW AND MAKE IT LIKE YOUR STANDARD SLAW. ORDER IT AND MIX IT WITH CHEESE AND RANCH DRESSING AND MENU IT AS FRESH BROCCOLI SALAD. THE KIDS AND ADULTS LOVE IT THAT WAY! MINI CARROTS AND CELERY STICKS ARE ALWAYS A FAVORITE. WITH TURKEY AND DRESSING APPROACHING, REMEMBER TO USE OUR PRE-DICED ONIONS AND CELERY (5# BAGS). FREEZE THE REMAINING AND COOK WITH THEM LATER. THIS IS A LIFE SAVER ON SUCH A TOUGH DAY!! STARFRUIT IS A NICE ITEM TO USE THE "STARFISH IN THE SEA". SWEET POTATO STICKS ARE GREAT AT THIS TIME...THEY ARE ALSO A LOCAL PRODUCT. TRY SOME AND SERVE THEM WITH THE MINI CARROTS AND CELERY. DON'T FORGET ABOUT CANTALOUPE. THEY HAVE A NICE TASTE RIGHT NOW AND ARE RESONABLE IN PRICE. EACH CASE SHOULD YIELD YOU AROUND 160-175 SERVINGS PER CASE. SALAD MIX AND SHREDDED LETTUCE IS STILL THE CHEAPER WAY TO GO AT THIS TIME....AND MUCH EASIER. REMEMBER NOT TO PREWASH AND SALAD MIX...USE IT STRAIGHT FROM THE BAG. ORDER THE N/B SALAD MIX AND USE IT FOR SALADS AND SANDWICHES IF YOU DO NOT LIKE THE SHRED. A LOT OF MANAGERS LIKE IT BETTER AND IT IS EASIER TO HAVE JUST ONE PRODUCT. IF YOU HAVE A VEGGIE GRANT, FEEL FREE TO CALL ME FOR UNUSUAL ITEMS THAT YOU CAN SERVE THE KIDS. I LOVE TO WORK WITH THESE GRANTS! IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO CONTACT US. WE APPRECIATE YOUR BUSSINESS. OUR MANAGERS RULE! IT IS SO NICE TO WORK WITH THE "CREAM OF THE CROP"! HAVE A GREAT WEEK......DON
