Supplying the U.S. With Quality and Consistency: Offshore Production. End Quote

(1888PressRelease) May 04, 2011 - Fresh Quest, Inc. has announced that they will be featured on an upcoming episode of American Farmer.

Fresh Quest, Inc. is one of the leading suppliers of fresh melons to the United States. Since the company began in 1993, their goal has been to consistently produce the highest quality products, while exceeding their customers service expectations.

The episode will focus on the benefits of a diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables, and more specifically on Fresh Quest's offshore melon production. To tell the story, American Farmer travels to Zacapa, Guatemala. On location at Fruta Mundial, one of Fresh Quest's melon farms, we take a look at the melon production process, from harvest, to packing, to quality control, and shipping.

Cantaloupe is an excellent source of Vitamins A, B6 and C, and the mineral potassium. It's also a very good source of dietary fiber, folate, niacin, pantothenic acid, and thiamine. The cantaloupe extract oxykine is rich in superoxide dismutase (SOD), and studies have concluded that cantaloupe SOD extract promotes cellular antioxidant activity. "Through our participation with American Farmer, Fresh Quest, Inc. hopes viewers gain a better appreciation for everything we do to grow, pack and deliver our healthy products to the consumer," said Alan Guttmann, Vice President of Business Development for Fresh Quest, Inc.

"Offshore production plays a major role in meeting the demands of the nation in terms of variety," said Adrien Aniceto, producer for the series. "Fresh Quest has a hand in every step of the melon production and delivery process. The company is proud to supply the U.S. with products that contribute to consumer health and overall well-being."
