Every year the Food Industry Awards come out highlighting the best in products for manufacturers that either have a product on the shelves and products soon to be on the shelves at your supermarket or local market. Some don’t get the distribution they should, while others flood the market.
You may have noticed that Beyond Meat (plant based hamburgers) are flooding the market right now. And so they should. Both Beyond Meat and Impossible Burger can be found at Ralphs, Del Taco, Burger King, White Castle and Carl’s to name a few. You will also see that Beyond Meat has hot dog/sausage/kraut dogs which I do not find half as good as their burger.
Last year, I served Beyond Meat Burgers and because of their liquid smoke flavor and my ability to put grill marks on them, no one knew it was plant based until I told them. So yay! You go! Beyond Meat!
With that in mind, I bring you some of the Award Winning Food from Natural Products West called the Next Awards of 2019:
Best New Organic Beverage: Mooala Organic Coconut Oatmilk
Best New Organic Food: PROBAR live Live Probiotic Nutrition Bars
Best New Savory or Salty Snack: Love Beets Golden Beet-o de Gallo
Best New Sweet Snack: Lundberg Family Farms Chocolate Thin Stackers
I would like to say something about this brand. It’s interesting. If you go online and look for information about rice and how most rice has mold while growing, you won’t find anything. Yet 5 years ago that was all the rage. And Lundberg was the only rice cultivate without mold. So I eat nothing but Lundberg and until and if studies come out to disprove the claims about mol. I choose not to be a tester!
Best New Special Diet Food: Wild Joy Goods Banana Jerky
Best New Meat Alternative or Dairy Alternative: Strong Roots Kale & Quinoa Burger
Best New Meat, Dairy or Animal-Based Product: Annabella Low Moisture Fresh Water Buffalo Mozzarella
Best New Supplement: Pure Essence Real-Zymes Keto
Best Condition-Specific Supplement: Gaia Herbs Agile Mind
Best New Hemp/CBD Product: RE Botanicals Hemp CBD Tinctures
These are some of the products to be looking for and trying, since they won ‘best in show’ so to speak.
Hope you enjoyed my ‘insider’ information!
Healthy Happy Eating,
