BERRY

Renee Greiner, RD, LD Martin Bros. Menu System Support Dietitian & Advisor Berries come in many varieties, shapes, sizes and colors. They can liven up any dish from morning to night with a bit of sweet and a splash of color!

With berry season fast approaching, there are many reasons to enjoy a bowlful anytime.

Berry Products

Blackberry Cobbler (981910 – 4/5 lb)

There are many health and wellness benefits to berries, including:

1 2 3 4 5

Brain & Memory Boost Berries contain pigments called anthocyanins, which have been linked to brain function and memory improvement.

Healing & Immunity Strawberries, for example, are a great source of vitamin C, a nutrient essential for wound healing and immunity.

Cancer Prevention Phytochemicals are nutrients in many foods, including berries, which have been linked to cancer prevention.

Oregon Berry Mix (965090 – 1/10 lb) A blend of four berry favorites – Strawberries, Marion Blackberries, Blueberries and Raspberries.

This is a berry mix that can stand alone or be an ingredient in tarts, pies, salads and blintzes.

Strawberry Cubes/Diced Strawberries (964270 – 4/5 lb) Sliced Strawberry Fruit Topping (965060 – 6/2 lb) Blueberry Fruit Topping (965460 – 6/2 lb) Raspberries (965350 – 1/10 lb) Raspberries in Syrup (965340 – 6/6.5 lb) Raspberry Fruit Topping (965070 – 6/2 lb)

Saving Calories One cup of strawberries, for example, is a mere 40 calories.

Mood Boost Adding berries to any meal can enhance the presentation and color of your plate, which can also lift the spirits of those you serve.

Fresh Strawberries (377618 – 8/1 lb) Fresh Blueberries (375250 – 12/1 pint) Fresh Raspberries (377230 – 12/6 oz)

Berry Recipe Idea

Berry Delicious Menu Ideas • At breakfast, berries are perfect for smoothies and yogurt parfaits, as an addition to a bowl of cold or hot cereal or as a topping for waffles.

• At lunch, serve berries on top of salads or in a bowl as a side dish.

• At dinner, a pureed berry with other savory flavors like chipotle, mustard or mayonnaise can enhance any center of the plate entrée or sandwich.

• Dessert is a great time to enjoy a slice of Angel Food Cake Topped with Berries.

UPSIDE-DOWN BERRY SUNDAE Instead of starting your ice cream sundae with ice cream, consider starting with berries at the bottom of the bowl and put the ice cream on top. So, instead of 1 cup of ice cream + ½ cup of berries = 300 calories, you have 1 cup of berries + ½ cup of ice cream = 180 calories! That even allows your customers the possibility of adding a couple toppings…while still saving calories!

Perfect Fit. Exact Fit for Bronco™ & TrimLine™ Containers Example: Most people buy a 55 gallon can liner (36x58 inch) to fit their 44 gallon Bronco™ in order to get it around the container opening. If you were to purchase the 44 gallon Tru-Fit can liner (37x50 inch) to properly fit your 44 gallon Bronco™, you would be saving 8 inches of plastic in the length of the bag. This adds up to significant cost savings...as well as saving on landfill waste and thus being more environmentally friendly!

How to Save Money on

TRASH CAN LINERS Roxanne Hassman

Are you throwing money away with your trash?

Improper sizing, thickness and density of liners could be costing you a lot of money!

Martin Bros. Janitorial Category Marketing Manager

SIZING Do you have to tie a knot in can liners or put a band around them to keep them from falling into your waste cans? If so, you are using too much bag for the job, and obviously, the larger the bag, the more it costs.

A perfect-fitting can liner should hang 3-4 inches over the top of the container and fit snugly. Many waste containers will have the gallon capacity printed somewhere on them. But if not, here is a formula to measure for the correct can liner size needed.

WIDTH: On a circular container, use half of the circumference (distance around the largest part of the container divided by two). On a square or rectangular container, use half of the total of all four sides.

LENGTH: On a circular container, use height plus half of the diameter (distance straight across the circle divided by two) of the container bottom plus three inches for overhang. On a square or rectangular container, use the height plus the diagonal of the container bottom plus three inches for overhang.

THICKNESS Besides wasting money on can liners that are too big, you may also be using too thick of a can liner. You could try going down to the next lowest thickness and see if the liner is strong enough for the type of garbage you have. On the other hand, if you find you are “double bagging� because the liner tears too easily, you need to try a thicker liner, which will save you money in the long run because using two thinner liners are going to cost you more than using one thicker liner.

Thinner Bag, Thicker Savings!

Example: 40-45 gal 1.2 mil = $51.31/case* 1.0 mil = $42.91/case*

Savings of $8.40/case! * Pricing is an estimate only.

DENSITY High density can liners can save you money, too. High density liners tend to be less expensive than low density liners. But they can only be used for certain applications. They are ideal for disposal of wet and bulky trash (food scraps, coffee grounds, paper, etc.). They are also great for carrying heavy loads of wet linens. Restrooms and office environments are perfect places for high density liners. You should NOT, however, use a high density liner if you have a lot of garbage that has sharp or jagged edges.
