The products are Sweet Baby cauliflower and broccoli, and cubed butternut and spaghetti squashes and sweet potatoes.

We are excited to deliver nutrition and flavor to shoppers at affordable prices.”

Details on products include:

  • Sweet baby cauliflower: six 10-ounce pouches per carton, with a 16-day shelf life;
  • Sweet baby broccoli: available in 1-pound pouches with handles, 12 to a carton, 8-ounce overwrap trays, 12 to a carton, 8-ounce pouches, six to a carton, 18-count iced bunches, and 18-count iceless bunches, with 18-day shelf lives (8-ounce pouch has 16 days);
  • Sweet potato cubes: half-inch cubes, six 16-ounce bags per carton, with a 16-day shelf life;
