Mann rolls out Caulilini Sweetstem Cauliflower

Mann Packing Company has launched its proprietary Caulilini Sweetstem Cauliflower along with Kale Cabbage Blend and Sweet Potato “Fettuccine” for foodservice.

Caulilini is the newest member of the brassica family, and features long edible stems and blonde, open florets, Mann said. The product is entirely edible, from flower to stem, and the company said it has a sweet, tender stalk that turns bright green when cooked. Caulilini comes washed and ready to eat, has year-round availability and is offered in a 3×2 lbs. foodservice pack.

“After being in field trials for over a year, we’re thrilled to introduce this amazing cauliflower variety to the world, the result of a development partnership with Aruba Seed,” said Rick Russo, vice president of sales, marketing and product management at Mann’s.

Mann’s has also introduced two other new foodservice items: Kale Cabbage Blend and Sweet Potato “Fettuccine.”

A mixture of green cabbage, broccoli stems, shaved Brussels sprouts, kale and radicchio, Kale Cabbage Blend can be used as a slaw, colorful filler for wraps, or sautéed as part of an entrée build. Sweet Potato “Fettuccine” is a wide, flat ribbon cut that can be used as a pasta substitute, wrap filling or baked into desserts.
