FRESH-CUTS


The Room

Welcome to the Nicho Produce Salad Room.  We're quite proud of what our kitchen employees are capable of producing.  Using all stainless steel cutting equipment, knives, and tables,  our employees fill orders efficiently, and always adhere to all HACCP guidelines as set forth by the FDA.  We even go so far as to test for the presence of harmful contaminants in our own laboratory.  (No other Fresh-Cut kitchen in the Rio Grande Valley has the equipment necessary to test for the presence of Salmonella, Listeria, or E-Coli)

F.A.Q.s

  1. What type(s) of preservatives are used?
  2. What's the shelf-life of the salads?
  3. How are the salads packed/shipped?
  4. Once an order has been placed, how soon can it be ready?
  5. What is HACCP?

The Process

Preparing the LettuceWe start with supermarket quality produce (lettuce, onions, bell-pepper, etc...) trim the excess, and give it a good washing.  (Remember: all produce bought at your local grocery store should be washed thoroughly.)  We then slice, dice, chop, shred - whatever the recipe calls for, or whatever the customer needs.  Then the bagging process begins.  We don't just throw it all in a bag and seal it up.  We seal the ingredients in individual bags.  So your salad comes ready to toss.  The shredded carrots haven't touched the sliced lettuce until you're ready to eat! 


The Product

Preparing Lettuce - Wide ShotOur kitchen offers a wide variety of processed items.  But we're always willing to explore new possibilities.  If you have any special requests,  please feel free to ask  Paul Ludden about custom ordered salads, celery sticks, sliced radishes, etc...  He is the brainchild behind the Nicho Produce Salad Room, and is always willing to listen to customer suggestions.
