Mon. June 3rd, 2019 - by Alexis Schreiber

SALINAS, CA - Mann Packing is debuting its new CAULILINI® baby cauliflower 10-ounce retail pack at the United Fresh Produce Association 2019 Convention and Expo in Chicago, Illinois.

To add to the excitement, Mann’s Nourish Bowls® Breakfast line—the Denver Scramble and Fiesta Scramble—was nominated for United Fresh's 2019 Innovation Award for Best New Vegetable Product.

Rick Russo, Vice President, Mann Packing“CAULILNI baby cauliflower was an immediate hit with our foodservice customers when we introduced it last year due to its unique look, flavor, and versatility,” said Rick Russo, Vice President. “Consumers have been hounding us on social media asking when they can find it in their grocery store, which is exactly the demand we were hoping to create by giving it to chefs first.”

According to the company’s press release, CAULILINI baby cauliflower is an Asian-style variety that features green stems and blonde, open florets. Its unique shape adds both taste and texture to side dishes, crudité platters, and entrée builds. The product is entirely edible—from flower to stem—and has a sweet, tender stalk that turns bright green when cooked. It comes washed and ready to eat and has year-round availability.

“We’re also proud that our Nourish Bowls Breakfast line-up is a finalist for the 2019 Innovation Award for Best New Vegetable Product,” stated Russo. “Since we introduced the bowls in January, they have quickly become two of our best-selling skus.”
