NatureSeal introduces formulation for fresh-cut avocados
NatureSeal has added a new formulation for avocados to protect from color, flavor and texture changes, which is particularly effective for cut avocado used in sushi such as California rolls. This new formulation may be applied as a dip or as a spray like previous NatureSeal avocado treatments. This product is sulfite and allergen-free, and does not contain genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
Avocados are a popular menu item today, ranging from salads to sandwiches to fancy buffets. Served as a main dish, side dish, or a garnish, avocados offer a vast variety of options, now that the quality can be maintained after cutting. As the demand for the green fruit increases, maintaining its freshness when cut is an essential part of its success.
Consumers are demanding healthier, yet at the same time, more convenient choices in their diets. Health and convenience do not have to be mutually exclusive—sliced or bite-sized fruit and vegetables are hugely popular. Avocados rank high in phytochemicals and nutrients such as lutein, vitamin E, potassium, fiber, magnesium, folate and monounsaturated fats, making them a natural choice for the health-conscious consumer.
The same NatureSeal innovation and expertise that has driven the fresh-cut apple market is available to expand the fresh-cut avocado market as well. The increasing availability of sliced and diced avocados will drive supermarket sales of avocados as a value added product. Consumers are more likely to purchase the fruit more frequently as it becomes easier to use, and as its serving options are significantly diversified.
