Local Bounti announced it will showcase its recently launched chef-inspired, grab-and-go salads at the IFPA’s Global Produce & Floral Show in Orlando, Fla., Oct. 27-29, according to a news release.

“We are excited for IFPA attendees to sample and experience our new restaurant quality grab-and-go salads, which utilize our innovative method of indoor farming to sustainably grow fresher and more flavorful leafy greens,” said Brian Cook, president of Local Bounti in the release. “We believe our Stack & Flow Technology™ is the future of farming and the reason behind our rapid growth into one of the largest CEA companies in the United States. With our high-tech greenhouse facilities around the U.S., we are able to provide consumers across the country with our superior produce varieties and salads that are grown sustainably with sunlight, use 90% less water and land, and last longer in your fridge,” Cook continued.

Local Bounti’s two recently launched salads focus on the following flavor profiles to meet the needs of the increasing number of flexitarian consumers:

  • Poppy Power (240 calories) – Local Bounti’s Northwest-grown Romaine Crisp and Bok Choy are topped with antioxidant-packed cranberries and a colorful carrot and broccoli slaw. A powerful blend of seeds—pepitas, sunflower and flax—adds a satisfying crunch that is finished with a craveable poppy seed dressing.
  • Modern Greek (230 calories) – Local Bounti’s Northwest-grown Romaine Crisp topped with fresh tomatoes, feta, hearty quinoa, red onion, crunchy chickpeas, and chopped olives is finished with a bright and savory Tzatziki dressing, bringing a refreshing take on a timeless Mediterranean classic.

IFPA attendees can visit Booth #3253 to sample Local Bounti grab-and-go salads and to learn more about its grab-and-go salad program, which is currently available in the Pacific Northwest with plans to expand into the Southeast and West regions early next year, according to the release.
