<p>4Earth Farms is kicking the term “superfood” into overdrive with its all-new <B>Kale Sprouts</b>, the perfect blend between two of the biggest trends in produce – kale and Brussels sprouts. Kale Sprouts, which were recently on display at the Fresh Produce & Floral Council Convention in Pleasanton, California, combine Russian red kale and Brussels sprouts to create a <B>colorful, nutrient-rich</b> vegetable that’s sure to pack a punch in both flavor and quality.<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"> <img src="https://cdn.andnowuknow.com/legacyWriterImages/4earth_body2_051314.jpg" alt="cropped_image_051314" /></p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><p> <img class="small-cropped-image" src="https://cdn.andnowuknow.com/legacySmallCroppedImages/4earth_body3_051314.jpg" alt="cropped_image_051314" /> “Kale Sprouts capitalize on the high demand and consumer interest in both kale and Brussels sprouts,” Mark Munger, VP of Sales & Marketing, tells AndNowUKnow. “Once a customer purchases Kale Sprouts, we see very <B>high repeat purchases</b>! We encourage retailers to add some of their own signage to highlight that Kale Sprouts are a <B>“NEW,”</b> <B>versatile</b>, and <B>delicious</b> vegetable.”</p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><p> 4Earth Farms has been growing a small plot of Kale Sprouts along the Baja Mexico peninsula since last summer in order to learn how to best grow and package this unique new vegetable. In early June, acreage and supplies will begin to <B>ramp up dramatically</b> and growing regions will span from Baja to the central coast of California.</p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><p> I’m drawn most toward Kale Sprouts’ <B>unique, complex flavor</b> and <B>versatility</b>. Its crispy texture is accompanied by a slightly sweet peppery flavor and can be sautéed, roasted, added to salads, or eaten raw.<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"> <img src="https://cdn.andnowuknow.com/legacyWriterImages/4earth_body1_051314.jpg" alt="cropped_image_051314" /></p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><p> 4Earth Farms presents Kale Sprouts in colorful, <B>informative packaging</b> that says it all – “The Perfect Fusion of Brussels Sprouts & Kale.” The company offers the product in <B>6 oz. bags</b>, which tends to be a good size for consumers and allows for attractive retail pricing, says Munger.</p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><p> “We are creating an entirely new vegetable item, so providing consistent quality product is vital to building credibility and demand for this new product!” Munger tells us.</p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><p> This is definitely one veggie that’s going on my wish list. Can’t wait to see it pop up in more grocery stores!</p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><p><a class="btn btn-sm btn-primary col-lg-12" style="white-space: normal;" href="http://www.4earthfarms.com/page/62520_Conventional.asp" target="_new"> 4Earth Farms </a></p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">
