(FOR 10 DAYS) AVOCADO IN HONG KONG
After developing what it describes as its world-first, patented ‘no browning’ Natavo
Zero avocado processing technology, Naturo All Natural Technologies launched its full
range of sliced, diced and smashed avocado products for the food service industry at
Asia’s leading Food and Hospitality Trade Show, HOFEX, in Hong Kong, May 7-10.
Marketed as Natavo Natural Avocado,
the 100% natural avocado products
will not brown for up to 10 days when
refrigerated (even when the packaging
has been opened) and two years when frozen and
unopened.
According to Natavo, the products are a game
changer for the avocado and food service industries
due to the opportunity to use fresh, natural avocado
in pre-prepared salads, sandwiches, sushi and ready
meals which has been impossible in the past. Natavo
Natural Avocado is already being sold in Australia,
New Zealand, Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong,
Philippines and France.
Naturo director, Ross Harris says: “The global
avocado trade is valued at AUD $18 billion or
approximately 5.5 million tonnes (2018), however due
to the seasonality, fragility and quick-browning nature
of the fruit it has been a challenging ingredient for the
food service industry to use. To date, there’s been a
lot of guess work, high wastage and expense.
“Our technology has changed all that as we switch
off the enzyme which causes avocado to go brown,
while still preserving its texture and taste.
“It’s now possible for the food service industry
to access large quantities of perfectly ripe,
ready-to-use, 100% pure natural avocado,
with no additives or preservatives all year
round."
