Plantation, FL, May 04, 2011 --(PR.com)-- 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, they 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.”
Fresh Quest, Inc. is one of the largest growers of melons in Central America. Farming operations in
Guatemala and Honduras produce over 250 million pounds of melons between November and May for
distribution and sale in North America and Europe.
