So much flavor, so little prep time
ORANGE, Calif., Sept. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Over the years, guacamole has become a staple for restaurants — as an appetizer, topper and versatile ingredient used on sandwiches, burgers and Mexican dishes. A recent Technomic study found that 50% of operators cited simplicity as the primary benefit to their kitchen/menu with regards to using packaged or pre-made guacamole1. In response, MegaMex Foods is expanding its WHOLLY® Guacamole portfolio with the introduction of three new foodservice products.
