Mini-vegetables, watercress and fresh-cut articles characterize today's events in the world of gastronomy. However, the current rise of these product groups has so far had no significant influence on the popularity of sprouts. Because sprout mixtures are still finding their way quite quickly to the Swiss restaurateurs through the specialized suppliers, says a buyer and seller of Tenti AG, based in Winterthur.
Garnish
The sprouts of the Swiss wholesaler have been sourced from a nearby, specialized producer for many years. Depending on the season and availability, different organic products on offer. Currently, the special mix with radishes, onions and kohlrabi is very much in demand. "The need for sprouts is still great, at least within our clientele, because of course it is also a product group that matches the trend of healthy diet food," says the Sales Department.
In addition, the sprouts are particularly well suited for gastronomical purposes and they are easy to use. “It is an affordable and reasonably priced product that is an excellent garnish. That's why we also offer very small quantities or 100 gram trays, which are very well received.”
Traditional company
Tenti AG is a traditional wholesaler, founded in 1985. Nowadays the company is run by a fourth generation and it offers its customers a wide range of fruits, vegetables, herbs as well as pasta, dairy and frozen food.
