FOOD CATERING
Apples are a Great Idea for Food Catering
Richland Hills Farms sliced apples offer food catering operators a labor-saving, cost-effective, and nutritious item to add to their menu. Richland Hills Farms offers apple slices in a clear, 2.4 ounce individually wrapped bag. Or, you can purchase the branded version in a 2 ounce logo bag. Apple slices are good foods to cater with because there is very little prep except for opening packages.
Food prep can be a cost-heavy part of catering services. When you’re serving a big group, choosing menu items that are fast and easy can make all the difference. Increased productivity will improve your bottom line. By reducing the cost of labor, a catering company may increase profitability and take on more clients because of the time saved.
The Richland Hills Farms individually wrapped bags are conveniently provided in pack sizes to meet large and small food catering events. We offer our Individually wrapped bags in 50 count, 100 count, and 200 count pack sizes. All Richland Hills Farms products come stamped with a use-by date on them and have a shelf life of 21 days from sliced. This means you can order in advance and they’ll still be fresh and tasty when you serve them.
Our Apple Dippers are another popular choice because the caramel dip adds a sweetness factor. Each serving comes with 3 ounces of sliced apples in individually-wrapped bags with a 1 ounce caramel dipping cup. Not only are they nutritious but they can be marketed as gluten and nut-free. Customers like to serve them at picnics, in boxed lunches, and on children’s menus.
Our bulk apple slices are very economical. They are a fixed food cost menu item that does not fluctuate in price with the produce market. Richland Hills Farms bulk slices are conveniently packed in one pound, two pound, and ten pound bulk bags.
Arguably one of the most important benefits of choosing our product is that our slices do NOT turn brown when exposed to air. Richland Hills Farms uses an Organic Nature Seal* that stabilizes the pre-cut apple slices. Your catering team does not have to worry about clients seeing less than appealing fruit slices on a serving tray. Rest assured that our safe and organic treatment will keep the apples looking fresh and delicious without compromising the nutritional value.
Apple slices have a lot of applications in the catering business. Caterers include apple slices on fruit and vegetable trays, charcuterie boards, or cheese and fruit trays. An excellent compliment to fondue, apple slices are tasty with chocolate or melted cheese. They’re usually the first item guests like to grab when presented with other hors d’oeuvres.
The versatile flavor profile of apples allows them to be served at a dessert bar as well as a salad bar. Pair apple slices with sweet dips and toppings to create a signature dessert. Serve them alongside chocolate or use them in a pie. No matter how you serve them, you can feel confident that the quality will always be consistent when you choose Richland Hills Farms.
