After introducing The Original Chewable Ice^® in 1981, Scotsman's nugget ice has grown to become the preferred ice choice for countless consumers and operators alike. Now available in two nugget types, the soft, chewable ice form is a favorite for fountain beverages, smoothies, blended cocktails, salad bars, therapeutic use, and many other applications. Consumers enjoy how the chewable nugget ice absorbs the flavor of beverages, while operators appreciate its lower operating costs and higher liquid displacement, which lowers syrup costs per cup.
