Nationwide Produce is delighted to announce the launch of Tenderstem® Purple, new to the UK foodservice sector. This partnership marks a significant milestone, with Nationwide Produce the first to distribute Tenderstem Purple within the UK foodservice sector for 2024.
This strategic partnership is a vote of confidence, recognising Nationwide Produce as the ideal partner to introduce this unique product to the UK foodservice market. The collaboration continues to grow from strength to strength, presenting new opportunities and reinforcing the commitment to quality and innovation.
A spokesperson for Tenderstem reported that "We are so pleased that Nationwide Produce has grasped the opportunity to deliver what we believe is 'Purple Sprouting Broccoli, But Better', to the foodservice sector. We truly value this channel as it enables consumers to try something new, precisely at the moment when they are seeking something delicious and different."
Tenderstem Purple will be packed in co-branded Nationwide Produce Tenderstem 10 x 200g boxes. This collaboration underscores both companies' shared commitment to delivering top-quality Tenderstem broccoli to the UK and Irish markets.
Will Clayton, Sales and Procurement Director of Nationwide Produce PLC, stated: "Our customers' interest in new products and the diverse range we supply motivates us to continually seek innovative products and foster strong partnerships. Our collaboration with Coregeo to introduce Tenderstem Purple to the UK foodservice market in 2024 exemplifies our unwavering commitment to delivering the highest quality produce. We are excited to launch this new product to our customers across the UK and Ireland."
Tenderstem Purple boasts a more mellow, earthy and buttery flavour, complemented by a distinct darker-coloured stem. Tenderstem Purple retains a hint of purple once cooked and offers a rounded flavour with a nutty aftertaste. Its versatility makes it easier and quicker to cook, making it an excellent addition to any culinary creation.
Moreover, Tenderstem Purple is not only delicious but also nutritious. It is low in fat and calories, low in saturates and sugar, high in fibre, a good source of potassium (which contributes to the maintenance of normal blood pressure). A source of vitamins A and B6, and high in vitamin C (helping to boost the immune system and reduce fatigue).
The versatility of Tenderstem Purple makes it perfect for restaurant-quality dishes. Whether incorporated into traditional hearty gratins, roast dinner side dishes, flavourful curries, or noodle dishes, this new vegetable will brighten up any seasonal dish. Tenderstem Purple is now available at Nationwide Produce PLC.
