As food waste and its negative impact on the environment consistently makes headlines, consumers are in search of healthier, convenient and economic ways to get more fresh produce into their diets. Grow Green Industries, INC., the company behind the only patented line of food-grade solutions for produce sanitation and shelf-life extension, announced it has released its reformulated eatFresh-FC™ anti-browning powder, formulated to keep cut apples and other produce items from browning for up to 26 days while preserving texture, color and flavor.
“In the US alone, organic waste is the second highest component of landfills, which are the largest source of methane emissions according to the UNEP. eatFresh-FC™ is a viable, organic solution for processors to help keep fresh fruit and vegetables from perishing and on family’s plates,” commented Mareya Ibrahim, CEO and Founder, Grow Green Industries, INC. “We couldn’t be more thrilled with the results from our recent shelf life testing completed with our newly reformulated eatFresh-FC™ anti-browning powder. The apples taste and look like they were just cut yesterday on day 26.”
In a 26-day shelf life test, reformulated eatFresh-FC™ inhibited browning and preserved color and texture of fresh-cut apple slices vs. control product
Made from a blend of plant-based ingredients, the OMRI-approved eatFresh-FC powder is certified for use on organic and conventional produce and can be used as a soak or spray when mixed with water. Apples, potatoes, avocado, lettuce, strawberries and other produce may also be treated with the eatFresh-FC product to inhibit browning and increase shelf life.
“People love the convenience of freshly-cut produce and will eat more of it. We are eager to work with produce processors, restaurants, schools and other food service companies who are ready to create new products or improve their existing processes with a convenient, economic and effective solution that works within just 30 seconds,” added Ibrahim. eatFresh-FC products are available in commercial sizes for food service through Grow Green Industries, INC. and select distributors.
