Easy Prep Avocados » Got Guacamole!

Simplot Easy Prep Avocados You've always got guacamole whenever J.R. Simplot's Pure Avocados line of quick-frozen, prepeeled and pre-pitted 100 percent Haas Avocado Halves, Avocado Pulp, Avocado Slices & Dices, and Guacamoles, including their "Guacamole Especial," is in the house.

Rick Trujillo, F&B director, Angel Fire Resort, Angel Fire, New Mexico, uses J.R. Simplot's easy prep, prepared avocados and avocado products because of their cost-savings, consistency, availability and flexibility.

"Simplot's Avocados and Avocado products foster cost savings in all avenues without losing anything in taste," shares Trujillo, who uses the Avocados line in the Tex-Mex restaurant, country club and other outlets. "They require no peeling or chopping and produce no waste, thus saving labor. The products have a long shelf-life, eliminating avocado price fluctuations and availability concerns. Because the end product has a more consistent flavor and texture, returning guests can count on a quality product."

Mike Fein, director of marketing for the Avocado Group at J.R. Simplot, says the company strives to create new products for operators like their pre-made and easy-prep guacamoles that increase value and convenience and decrease labor.

"We're always looking at a new family of products to do that," Fein says.

This philosophy helped create their "Guacamole Especial," which Fein describes "as close as it comes to fresh in terms of texture, look and feel." - SBH
