After coming home from a long day at work, the last thing you want to think about is what to cook for dinner. The produce department can save you preparation time with convenient pre-sliced vegetable recipes.

The produce retail business unit is introducing a new slicing machine to help associates enhance and develop healthful recipes with fresh-cut vegetables. Produce associates will appreciate the machine’s efficiency, and customers will love the convenience each recipe provides.

“This new line of sliced vegetables was created in response to our customers’ needs and desires for healthful products at their convenience,” said Technical Specialist Wesley Reese. “The hand-selected and pre-sliced vegetables also come with cooking instructions on the scale label, making preparation easy for our customers.” 

The produce department offers nine recipes — from potatoes, onions and carrots, to a mixture of sliced onions and squash. The top selling item during the pilot was sliced squash.

The new machine will roll out to all Publix stores by the end of this year. For a nutritious side dish to complement your main course, stop by your produce department and pick up ready-to-cook freshly sliced vegetables. And don’t forget to recommend them to your friends, family and customers!
