Lipman Family Farms, Immokalee, Fla., is featuring new organic and conventional fresh-cut green beans at the Produce Marketing Association’s virtual Fresh Summit.

Shipments start in October and the product will be available to retailers year-round. The retail packaging is designed to enhance the product’s shelf life, according to a news release, and is microwaveable to eliminate prep time.

The fresh-cut beans are clipped and cleaned so they’re ready to cook.
“Whether our consumers are looking for a quick snack or want to create a delicious dish for Thanksgiving, we are excited to deliver a fresh, flavorful and safe product as part of our fresh-cut portfolio,” Sarah Miller, general manager, said in the release.

The green beans are hand-picked and are grown in Guasave, Mexico, and Baja California, Mexico and distributed by Lipman’s West Coast network, according to the release.

They’re available in a variety of sizes from 12 ounces up to 32 ounces, according to the release.
