There has been a lot of talk about clean food lately, but there has also been a lot of confusion about what clean food actually is.
Contrary to what some people are saying, food is not put into two categories: clean and dirty. The clean food movement started as a way for people to actively engage in their diet by encouraging them to find out what they are eating and where this food was coming from.
According to Jaclyn London, Nutrition Director for Good Housekeeping, even though the clean food movement called for people to eat lots of “whole, real foods,” the original concept “seemed to be a call to action for understanding the traceability of our food.”
At Garden-Fresh Foods, we take that to heart. Take our cabbage. We follow the harvesting schedules across the nation and purchase only freshly picked cabbage to ensure our salads and slaws live up to the name Garden-Fresh.
And our in-house kitchen, lead by Chef Tom Sterle, is always looking for ways to elevate the standards of our classic dishes and new creation to reflect America’s desire to eat fresher and more local.
As one of country’s leading manufacturers of fresh and wholesome deli salads, dips, desserts and salad kits, we embrace the spirit of the clean foods movement, because fresh is what we do.
