FreshPoint
With unmatched fresh produce, knowledge and experience, FreshPoint provides today’s chefs with the ingredients to create tomorrow’s culinary success.
Over the last few decades, we have seen revolutionary changes in the produce industry—from refrigerated trucks and fresh-cut produce to submitting and processing orders online. With these innovations, our passion for produce and commitment to helping our customers succeed remains unchanged.
It's Wallpaper Wednesday...and we are talking about our cutting fresh solutions with FreshPoint FreshCuts®!
When you buy FreshCuts you get more than just butternut squash chunks, you are getting optimized storage space in your cooler, which tend to take up less cooler space and are easier to inventory since it is finished product rather than whole cases.
Butternut squash is a perfect item to outsource to FreshCuts. Why? Because butternut needs to be peeled, seeded, and cut, all of which just makes sense to have pre-cut for you, especially if you need a large amount for a high-volume kitchen. Ready to roast, this dish practically comes together by itself as most of the prep is already done.
