“Super-hot peppers have become a cult favorite in recent years,” said Alex Berkley, Sales Manager. “We are seeing their arrival from Holland earlier than last year, which is perfect timing to add them to ‘chill & grill' displays and merchandise with summer favorites like watermelon and refreshing young coconuts, on ice. In fact, according to a recent study by C + R Research in partnership with Frieda’s, 35 percent of shoppers say they are more likely to shop at YOUR store if you sell young coconuts.”
