Irvine, CA — Fresh Avocados topped the “prominent produce” category to capture “2013 Ingredient Of the Year” in the Multi-Unit Foodservice Operators Conference (MUFSO) “State of the Plate” presentation.* So it’s no surprise that Fresh California Avocados are finding their way into the hottest new breakfast items. Trend predictions keep breakfast on the foodservice radar, especially ethnically-inspired dishes.**
While breakfast standards like California Avocado Scramble will always be popular, a new style of culturally diverse, morning warm ups—such as savory rice and noodle bowls, flatbreads, and hashes—are appearing on menus to tempt both early risers and customers who enjoy breakfast 24/7. Asians often start the day with soup, and the subtle flavors of California Avocado-Mushroom Wonton Soup are both soothing and wholesome. Eve’s Potato Works serves up a vegan hash that’s hearty and satisfying. And, California Avocado Scallion Flat Bread offers a versatile base for a variety of flavorful toppings, a platform for egg dishes, or a cover for wraps.
