KINGSVILLE, ON - From festive lights to comforting holiday meals, the colors of the season inspire shoppers this time of year. Bringing a colorful array to the produce department, Mastronardi Produce® is a greenhouse maven meeting consumer demand.

“This winter season, we’re highlighting our SUNSET® Flavor Bombs® tomatoes on the vine, and SUNSET® Lollipeppers®, our seedless mini peppers. Both of which are perfect for snacking, holiday entertaining, and adding even more flavor to your favorite dishes,” Peppe Bonfiglio, Vice President, Sales, began telling me. “Flavor Bombs®, the first in the award-winning BOMBS® tomato line, are ripened to perfection on the vine. Jam-packed with delicious flavor, these versatile little tomatoes are great for snacks, salads, charcuterie boards, and more.”

Peppe continued, stating, “Lollipeppers® are mini sweet peppers without the mess of seeds. This minimal prep makes them an easy, fresh snack during the busy holiday season, as well as an excellent addition to a variety of holiday appetizers. Kids love their sweet taste and satisfying crunch. The unique and bright color of these peppers adds excitement to the produce department, and the resealable, eye-catching bag is convenient for shoppers.”

Flavor Bombs® and Lollipeppers® are non-GMO, greenhouse-grown, and available year-round, ensuring consistent flavor, quality, and supply so consumers can continue to enjoy these tomatoes and peppers far beyond the winter season.

“Retailers can maximize sales by creating vibrant displays that feature Flavor Bombs® and/or Lollipeppers®, making it easy for shoppers to find fresh, flavorful options for their holiday dishes and winter snacking needs,” Peppe added. “Positioning these offerings near complementary items such as cheeses, dips, and charcuterie encourages consumers to think about snacking and entertaining, ultimately driving impulse purchases.”

On a final note, Peppe emphasized that SUNSET® is known for exceptional quality, consistency, and creating “WOW” flavor experiences through its tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, and berries.

“We are always excited when retailers and customers find inspiration in flavor. This enthusiasm drives our innovations and everything we do!” Peppe concluded.
