SALINAS, CA - The clock is running down on the PMA Fresh Summit kick-off, and Church Brothers Farms is showcasing two all-new products and packaging for the big event.

Enter the company’s newly-developed value-add diced broccoli stems, and cleaned and cored Redy-Pep™ Peppers.

“Broccoli is highly nutritious and adds great color and flavor to food,” said Kori Tuggle, Vice President of Marketing. “Our partners are excited about the convenience these items bring to their operations; both save labor and food waste.”

Tuggle added that the diced broccoli stem brand meets the company’s goal of both reducing food waste and increasing grower yields, according to a press release.

The Redy-Pep™ Peppers bring uniformity and convenience, already topped and seeded. Church Brothers noted that the new-to-market format:

  • Reduces food waste
  • Has a longer shelf life than traditional peppers, reducing labor and freight costs
  • May be stored from 34 degrees to 38 degrees
