10 HOW THE MENU EVOLVES Catalog will change throughout the year, based on domestic availability of products Initial catalog is 128 items. This can shrink to as few as by spring due to changes in domestic availability; then, it starts to come back to full as we get into March Example: Strawberries: August- November, then gone, back in February-May Innovation where possible : New in 2015: multicolored Baby Carrots, Baby Kale, Arugula
11 SEASONALITY Buy: Avoid: - Citrus, September-November - Pears, March-June Broccoli & Cauliflower, - Peppers, April, May September - Potatoes: Sept-Nov - Romaine Hearts: Feb-Apr - Precut Lettuces, November- January - Squash: Aug-Sep - Celery: December - Corn: February - Watermelon: September - Sugar Snap Peas: Sep-Nov - Honeydew & Cantaloupe: Aug-Sep - Grapes: January Always: - Apples, Beans, Carrots, Cabbage, Mushrooms, Spinach, Spring Mix
12 FRESH VS. CANNED VS. FROZEN Cost Comparison Nutritional Content Shelf Life Student Preferences
13 UTILIZING FRESH PRODUCE IN YOUR DISTRICT Raw Vegetable Cups Fresh Fruit Cups Individually packaged fruit & vegetables convenient for satellite programs
14 UTILIZING FRESH PRODUCE IN YOUR DISTRICT Kale Chips Wash kale Dry Well Tear into pieces Spray or coat with oil Season with: Cumin Red Pepper Flakes Garlic Soup Zucchini Broccoli Carrot Cauliflower Potato

18 UTILIZING FRESH PRODUCE IN YOUR DISTRICT Baking Whole Grain Zucchini Muffins
19 UTILIZING FRESH PRODUCE IN YOUR DISTRICT Herbs Cilantro Basil Freezing Herbs Cilantro Three Bean Salad Tomato Basil Mozzarella Salad
20 YOUR PRODUCE SUPPLIER SHOULD Deliver you 95% usable product, or you should demand a replacement within 24 hours; if you are wasting product the minute it comes in the door, you need to hold your supplier accountable Be flexible, and help you out when you have an emergency or need special handling/pricing/service Receive their bulk produce inbound several times per week, minimizing age, maximizing shelf life in your coolers Offer you the ability to be innovative Be food safe Maintain cold chain Prevent cross contamination with allergens Have a full traceability program
21 RECEIVING FRESH PRODUCE Inspect your produce at time of delivery, but certainly no less than 24 hours from delivery If there is more than 5% unacceptable product (i.e. 2-3 apples in a case), reject it or call your supplier for a replacement If there is hidden damage, i.e. lettuce looks good on the outside, but you cut into it and it is brown, contact your supplier as soon as you find out; if possible, take picture (supplier should use that for QA training) Credit requests within 24 hours should be accepted Hold bad product for your supplier to pick up
22 HANDLING PRODUCE TO MAXIMIZE QUALITY Don t wash produce well before it will be served (such as at time of receiving); prewashing adds moisture, which will decrease shelf life, sometimes dramatically Apples: Let them warm up before washing, so as not to expose the wax. Wax is not harmful, but can give apples unattractive sheen Berries: Freeze them; Avocados: place in water Avoid Ethylene exposure where possible
23 ETHYLENE Store products in your cooler to avoid premature aging Ethylene is a naturally occurring gas that is given off by ripening fruit Ethylene gas can prematurely age highly sensitive vegetables Ethylene gas can also hasten the ripening of under-ripe fruit (peach in a brown bag) Separate ethylene producing fruits from vegetables whenever possible
24 ETHYLENE Emits Ethylene Apples Cantaloupe Honeydew Unripe Bananas Tomatoes Peaches Plums Avocados Prematurely Aged by Ethylene Broccoli Cabbage Carrots Cauliflower Cucumbers Squash Peppers Watermelon
25 FRUIT SHELF LIFE Apples: 1 month Citrus: 6 weeks Grapes: 2.5 weeks Pears: 2 months (assuming unripened) Melons and Pineapple: 1 week Stone fruit: 3 weeks (assuming unripened) Avocados: 3 weeks (unripened)
26 VEGETABLE SHELF LIFE Carrots: 1 month Beets, Parsnips: 2+ months Cabbage, Cauliflower, Cucs, Peppers: 1 week Onions: Several Months Potatoes: Several Months Most lettuces: 1 week Broccoli, Brussels Sprouts: 5 days Mushrooms: 3 days
27 COST SAVING TIPS Split cases are more expensive, and it is justified: additional labor, packaging, labeling, traceability Bulk versus split cases example: 50lb Yellow Onion: $17.80 ($0.356/pound) 10lb Yellow Onion: $7.30 ($0.730/pound) You could throw out more than 50% of the bulk sack, and still come out ahead in total cost
28 CUT IT YOURSELF? Is it worth prepping yourself again? Romaine 24ct: $0.75/pound Chopped Romaine 6/2lb: $1.90/pound, $2.13 Do the math on: Romaine, Cauliflower, Celery, Melons Don t bother on Carrots, Broccoli
29 LOCAL AND FOOD SAFETY Everyone is getting more focused on Local Problem #1, outside of September and a little October, school is not in session during local harvest in Chicago (mid-june to Oct.) Problem #2, is this food up to quality expectations? Problem #3, is this food safe? Local is getting there, but still far below big farm standards No precooling of product; significant loss of temperature control Transportation issues Unreliable supply Lack of 3 rd party audits Lack of water Lack of sanitation training
