SANTA MARIA, CA - Kalettes™, one of the industry’s hottest new vegetables, will be making its second return to this year’s PMA Foodservice.
Supported by Classic Salads (booth #36), Mann Packing (booth #139), and Ocean Mist Farms (booth #120), Kalettes will be on-hand for attendees to see what the hype is all about.
Tozer Seeds America, the company behind Kalettes, developed the product after more than a decade of research. Kraig Kuykendall, Sales Manager at Tozer Seeds, said the company is excited to get Kalettes in front of more foodservice professionals during the convention.
“Our goal is to connect with professionals who are at the forefront of the foodservice industry and influence food trends,” Kuykendall said in a press release.
The kale and Brussels sprout hybrid offers a sweet and nutty flavor profile, combining the best traits of each of its parent vegetables, according to a press release. Kalettes are not genetically modified and were developed by cross-pollinating Brussels sprouts with kale through traditional methods.
Tozer Seeds has exclusive marketing agreements with select companies to grow and market Kalettes. These companies include 4Earth Farms, Classic Salads, Mann Packing, Ocean Mist Farms, Southern Specialties, and WP Rawl. As part of the agreement, Kalettes seeds will be sold by Johnny’s Selected Seeds to small farmers and home growers.
