TASTING NOTES FROM THE CURATOR

Bonduelle is famous for their high-quality frozen foods, and their whole Brussels sprouts are no different. With no preservatives, and no artificial colorings, these Bonduelle Brussels Sprouts are all-natural. They have a crunchy outside, and a tender inside. Their flavor is nutty, smoky, and almost sweet.

PREPARATION AND PAIRINGS

Brussels Sprouts are actually a very versatile vegetable. With its nice bright green color, it gives a great pop of color to your dishes. These sprouts can be pan-fried, stir-fried, baked into gratins, roasted, or put in salads.

GIVE PEAS A CHANCE

It was in 1926 that Pierre and Benoit Bonduelle turned an old barn into a cannery. It housed four pea shellers, and produced about 600 boxes of peas a day. They had a good momentum going. That is, until 1939, when the building was requisitioned by the French army, and damaged from the war.

It wasn’t until 1945 that they could resume operations. And in 1947, Bonduelle as a brand was born. With business booming and advertising flying off, Bonduelle became a name in the canned pea business.

It was in 1968 that they ventured into frozen food, something that was already popular in the United States, but was relatively unknown in France. It was a success. Bonduelle is now a giant in the frozen food industry, with quality never straying and still held at the forefront of their production.
