The September SUPERFOOD is Beets! Beets are more than pretty vegetables. Their color comes from betalains – antioxidants with a variety of potential health benefits. Vitamins, potassium and fiber round out beets’ benefits.
Beets offer two edible parts – the root, which we typically think of when eating beets, and the greens, which are delicious in salads. Beets are a unique source of phytonutrients called betalains, which has been shown to provide antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and detoxification support.
Tomatoes are the SUPERFOOD for August! Tomatoes are an excellent source of Vitamin C, and a good source of Vitamin A. Tomatoes come in a variety of different colors, each with their own distinct taste. Red tomatoes have lycopene – research suggests that a lycopene-rich diet may be associated with lowering the risk of certain cancers and heart disease.
Stop in to your local VVS Café and enjoy the many flavors and benefits of tomatoes!
VVS was founded in 1961 by Wayne Davis and Gale Evans when they installed their first vending account in Cozad, Nebraska. Realizing the company’s potential, Wayne Davis soon purchased 100 percent of the business.
In 1968 VVS developed an amusement and games division and continued to grow the company in the following years through both vending and games. In 1979 VVS acquired its first dining account and Wayne Davis stepped down so his son Dick Davis could become President of VVS. Dick then guided VVS through a series of company acquisitions and territory expansions. His daughter, Kristen Jack, joined the company in 1991 and is now President of VVS. Dick remains the Chief Financial Officer and Chairman of the Board.
In 2001 VVS signed with Canteen, a global company, as a member of their Franchise Group. Today, VVS Canteen operates on a national level providing Dining Service, Micro Markets, Coffee Service and Vending to a diverse client base.
