California Avocado Commission Says Market is Ripe for Foodservice Operators
IRVINE, CA - The California Avocado Commission (CAC) is calling out to foodservice operators as year-after-year avocado popularity continues to trend upward, saying that now is the time to plan for those green dishes.
“With America’s appetite for avocados escalating every year, the arrival of Fresh California Avocados in the market is cause for menu celebration,” the commission stated in a release. “Foodservice operators count on Fresh California Avocados for their hand-picked quality and consistency, Golden State origin, rich flavor, silky texture and the seasonal appeal to a range of dishes.”
To help add those benefits to your offerings, as well as dip into consumers’ increasing cravings for avocados, CAC recommends a variety of dishes. A few examples of the versatility Fresh California Avocados can offer are:
California Avocado Bruffin

Guacamole Nogada
