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.⁠
⁠
Add a little color to your workspace with this vibrant desktop wallpaper. ⁠Click the link to download the wallpaper and then scan to see this month’s recipe idea—Roasted Butternut Squash and Sage—a side dish idea featuring FreshCuts ½” Diced Butternut Squash and seasoning from European Imports. This dish takes minimal prep but is packed with a whole lot of autumnal flavor. 🌿🖥️ ⁠https://bit.ly/4q8POEN
