Koppert Cress unveiled new product scarlet cress to the catering trade this week, as it exhibited its lines at hospitality exhibition Northern Restaurant & Bar 2010.
The Dutch micro vegetable and herb producer was highlighting its range of unusual products to restaurant and bar owners and chefs in the North West. Lines on show included honey cress, Sechuan cress, mini watermelons and new product scarlet cress, among others.
Scarlet cress is available year round and can be stored for up to seven days at a temperature of 2-4°C. The product has a taste of mild red beetroot or spinach.
Anneke Cuppen, Koppert Cress’s UK marketing manager, told FPJ: “We do eight or nine of these shows around the UK each year and they are important for meeting people around the country. If you tell people that a cress has a particular flavour they don’t know what to think, but if they try it, it really helps.”
