Ready Pac introduces hemp to salad kit, Bistro Bowl
Ready Pac Foods' newest products, which feature hemp as a key ingredient, hit Safeway's store shelves April 20. The company said its Hemp Caesar Salad Kit and Bistro Bowl Jamaican Style Jerk Hemp Seed Salad are the first mass-produced, ready-to-eat salad products to feature hemp.
The Ready Pac Hemp Caesar Salad Kit is a chopped kit that features hemp seeds, chopped Romaine, shredded carrots, shredded red cabbage, Caesar herb vinaigrette dressing and herb-seasoned croutons. The company also introduced its Bistro Bowl Jamaican Style Jerk Hemp Seed Salad, which includes hemp seeds, chopped Romaine lettuce, shredded carrots, red cabbage, diced chicken, black beans, red rice and a Jamaican jerk with hemp dressing.
The new Ready Pac salads combine nutrient-rich hemp seeds, which are filled with amino acids and omega-3 fatty acids that pack as much power as other proteins, with lush, leafy greens and other vegetables. Minerals such as magnesium, iron, zinc and potassium, and soluble and insoluble fibers also add to the wealth of nutritional benefits of hemp seeds.
The Hemp Caesar Salad Kit, available in a 10-ounce salad kit, is a chopped Caesar salad kit; chopped salad kits among the fastest-growing and favored salad products among consumers.
"Ready Pac is a trusted brand that works to provide healthy choices in an innovative way," Tony Sarsam, chief executive officer of Ready Pac Foods, said in a press release. "Our on-the-go, health-conscious consumers are open to, and regularly seek, alternatives to typical nutrition offerings. Our Hemp Caesar Salad and Bistro Bowl Jamaican Style Jerk Hemp Seed Salad provide more options for all customers and empower them to make healthier choices for themselves and their families."
