Simplot Launches New Hand-Scooped Avocado Chunks
Nov 19, 2020
Simplot is pleased to announce another premium addition to its fresh avocado lineup: Harvest Fresh™ Hand-scooped Avocado Chunks.
For many, chunky texture is what makes scratch-made avocado pulp and guacamole truly feel scratch-made. But processing raw fruit is labor intensive, and the resulting yield—only around 50% of fresh weight—makes raw fruit an expensive choice for operators. The rapid price spikes and uncertain availability of avocado lugs don’t help.
It’s fresh, just faster
The new Harvest Fresh™ Hand-scooped Avocado Chunks are just that: hand-scooped chunks from carefully ripened, fresh Hass avocados, and that’s it—no preservatives added. You never have to pay for over- and under-ripe avocados. There are no pits and peels to compost. And you don’t have to pay someone $15/hour for prep, an attractive proposition if your kitchen is running lean during COVID-19.
