Culinary Cuts scoops up packing award at Fresh Summit

Mann’s Culinary Cuts has been awarded one of five 2015 PMA Impact Awards for Excellence in Packaging this year at the Fresh Summit in Atlanta. Culinary Cuts are a line of fresh cut vegetables cut into distinctive shapes including 'Sweet Potato Ribbons' and 'Butternut Squash Zig Zags'. The vegetables are washed and ready to cook and versatile enough for multiple uses such as side dishes, stir-frys, soups and casseroles.

Each package contains four to five, 1-cup servings and can be prepared in four minutes or less in the microwave, sautéed, steamed or on the stovetop. Detailed cooking instructions are included in each package as well as three recipes and usage ideas; the line is gluten free and an ideal fresh pasta swap.

The company’s launch of the product line in St. Louis earlier this year won a Marketing Excellence Award from Produce Business magazine.

The product line was two years in development involving extensive consumer research, test markets, professional recipe development and online research.
