You asked for it — and now it’s here! Information about ingredients, nutrition panels, and notes from PCC nutrition educators for the dishes in the PCC deli now is available in a searchable database on our website.

Visit pccmarkets.com/delinutrition and search by recipe name, category (i.e., salads), or apply a filter (i.e., high fiber). You’ll learn a lot about your favorite PCC dishes and discover some new ones to try.

PCC is the only Seattle-area retailer to offer this level of information about so many products.

Whether you’re striving to add more whole grains to your diet, are counting calories, looking for low-fat meals, or just want to know what spices we use in our BBQ Tempeh, we’re sure you’ll love having extra information to help you make the best choices for your diet (and palate!)

Nutritional information also is available by request at our deli counters.
