SANTA MARIA, CA – Growers and marketers of Kalettes™ are unveiling the new Brussels sprouts and kale hybrid at Fresh Summit.
“We are very excited by the reception to Kalettes from both consumers and the trade, and with all of the media attention we have been receiving,” said Kraig Kuykendall, Sales Manager of Tozer Seeds America. “Supply hasn’t caught up with demand yet, but crops are in the ground and getting ready for harvest. We are looking forward to seeing it on store shelves and in restaurants in a big way this coming spring.”
