Natural Grocers has expanded its private label with 10 new varieties of organic frozen vegetables.
From its produce bins and racks to its freezers, every piece of produce offered at Natural Grocers’ stores avoids contact with conventional or GMO items and is grown without synthetic pesticides or conventional farming practices.
The new certified organic frozen vegetables are also processed and packaged without synthetic colors or artificial flavors and preservatives (as defined by the company’s standards).
“At Natural Grocers, we’ve always focused on fostering a mutually beneficial relationship with nature,” said Raquel Isely, VP of marketing at Lakewood, Colorado-based Natural Grocers.
“We believe that organic farming and food production provide healthier food for healthier people and a healthier planet. Expanding our 100 percent certified organic produce offerings – at our always affordable prices and now in the freezer – is one of the ways we lead within our industry, while caring for our customers.”
Recent studies have found that eating diets rich in high-quality, high-fiber carbs (including certain vegetables and fruit), help people maintain better health as they age compared to those who don’t.
“We know that vegetables are one of the very best sources of high-fiber carbohydrates,” Isely added.
“In addition to premium quality and their high nutritional value, our Natural Grocers Brand Organic Frozen Vegetables make filling your plate with quality carbs a breeze. From crisp broccoli florets to sweet green peas, chopped kale and nutrient-packed spinach, these veggies are ready whenever you are.”
The new products include broccoli florets, California blend, cauliflower florets, chopped kale, chopped spinach, cut green beans, green peas, mixed vegetables, riced cauliflower and sweet corn.
Since its launch in 2016, Natural Grocers’ private label products have grown to more than 900 high-quality items, available exclusively at Natural Grocers stores. Recent additions to the private-label line include five new varieties of organic cooking oils, with more premium-quality products on the way, such as two limited-edition, seasonal organic coffee blends: Dark Chocolate Mint and Holiday Spice.
