Markon launches Ready-Set-Serve Heart-Y Slaw 

Markon’s newest product Ready-Set-Serve Heart-Y Slaw is made of julienned broccoli, shredded cabbage and kale, cauliflower pearls, sliced radishes and shredded carrots. The company said the fresh blend can be used as a salad, sauté, slaw, topping or garnish, and is ready to serve right out of the bag.

“The National Restaurant Association highlighted fresh produce’s position as the star of the dish as one of its top menu trends for this year,” said Nicholas & Company Executive Chef Vic Vegas. “With its crunchy texture and nutrient-dense popular vegetables, such as broccoli and radishes, RSS Heart-Y Slaw holds up in both hot and cold applications and makes adding produce to menus nearly effortless.”

RSS Heart-Y Slaw is available to operators through Markon’s foodservice members: Ben E. Keith Foods, Gordon Food Service, Maines Paper & Food Service, Nicholas & Company, Reinhart Foodservice and Shamrock Foods Company.

The new RSS Heart-Y Slaw was created specifically for Markon by its foodservice member chefs at the third annual Chef Summit held in September 2017.

“After spending a day in the produce fields, getting trend insights, and interacting with growers, last year’s Chef Summit attendees were energized to create a new blend that focused on raw material utilization, on-trend ingredients, and menu versatility,” said Eric Cronert, vice president of marketing and merchandising for Reinhart Foodservice.
