CORAL SPRINGS, FL – Dave’s Specialty Imports is expanding its program with Cape gooseberries from Colombia.
The Cape gooseberry is a smooth yellow berry that is about the size of a marble and resembles a miniature tomato, according to a press release. “It has a sweet and mildly tart flavor that makes it ideal for baking, but it's so versatile it can hold up to savory dishes, and it is fantastic to eat fresh as a snack,” said Leslie Simmons, Marketing Manager.
Dave’s has imported blueberries, blackberries, raspberries and strawberries from South and Central America for over two decades. The company is continuing to expand across all berry categories.
Mike Bowe, Vice President, says, “We are definitely increasing volumes across the board, but bringing in new specialty items like gooseberries gives us a chance to offer something unique to our customers. We’ve had great feedback from chefs but we also know this is something exciting for consumers at the retail level. We think it’s a great fit to our program.”
Dave’s is featuring the fruit and have samples available in their booth #1890 at Fresh Summit. “This will give people a chance to try the fresh fruit and get a sense of its possibilities,” added Simmons.
The gooseberries will be available in 3.5oz baskets under the Dave’s label.
