Avocado + Sweet Potato Add Up To A Newly Nutritious, Delicious, And Versatile Twist On The Mother’s Day Menu

Index Fresh and Bako Sweet champion the combined benefits of high-quality California-grown avocados and sweet potatoes 

Moms spend their lives finding ways to fill their children with nutritious snacks and meals. This year, California-grown sweet potatoes and avocados on the Mother’s Day brunch table can go a long way to returning the favor with superb flavor and nutrient-dense dishes. 

Index Fresh and Bako Sweet have been collaborating to emphasize and reiterate the simple message from Mom that quality counts in food choices. Both California companies pride themselves on providing consistent quality produce to consumers and building strong relationships based on reliability and adding value. The companies are teaming up for sweet potato and avocado giveaways through Instagram @avoterra_by_indexfresh and @bakosweet. 

“Collaborating with Country Sweet Produce and the Bako Sweet brand to raise awareness about healthy menu options is a great place to be for Index Fresh and the Avoterra brand. Both companies have a rich history in California’s agriculture space, and like Index Fresh, Country Sweet Produce is dedicated to bringing healthy, top-quality produce to family dinner tables worldwide,” said John Dmytriw, Index Fresh Vice President of Business Development. 

In recent years, avocados have become a global icon and consumer favorite with U.S. consumption doubling over the past 10 years. Not to be outdone, sweet potatoes are on the rise with 33 percent of households reporting purchasing them in the last year, and home cooks have gravitated toward air-fried sweet potatoes as an easy and tasty meal. 

“Avocados from Index Fresh and sweet potatoes from the Bako Sweet family are a great way to guarantee quality ingredients and thoughtfulness for mom. A major perk for menu-building with avocados and sweet potatoes is the compatibility of these nutritional powerhouses that are Whole 30 and Keto friendly, low-carb options, and special requirements for any health-conscious Mother’s Day guests,” said Sofia Castellanos, Director of Marketing and Advertising for Index Fresh. 

California avocados are in season now so show that special someone how much you care this Mother’s Day. Bako Sweet grows its sweet potatoes in “California’s Sweet Spot” on the family farm in Bakersfield, an area known for having some of the best soils in the world. 

“We are able to provide retailers with consistent, fresh, and quality sweet potatoes year-round!” said Alexandra Molumby, Director of Marketing for Bako Sweet. “We love the newfound consumer-driven trend to pair crispy toasted sweet potato with creamy avocado. It’s a crowd-pleaser and bends to both sweet and savory flavor profiles for ultimate versatility.” 

Both California sweet potatoes and avocados are rich in potassium and important vitamins while being low in the glycemic index and high in fiber. Both are indicated as positive contributors to heart health and an overall healthy diet and lifestyle.
