[ad_1]
I had an amazing day at the Specialty Food Association Summer Fancy Food Show this week in NYC! I tried a lot of awesome new products along with some of my long-time favorites. This was the first time the show was back in NYC since the pandemic and it was great to be back! Here are my top 20 finds of the show…
1. Carbone
Carbone sells delicious Non-GMO tomato sauce! 🍅 Carbone originated in their world-famous homemade Italian restaurant in NYC. Now their sauce is sold on shelves nationwide and online as well. Carbone is one of the only homemade style AND Non-GMO tomato sauces on the market today. It IS the new Rao’s.

2. Loi
Loi is a brand all the way from Greece! They sell a variety of products including, olive oils, teas, herbs, pasta, and vinegar. My favorite product was their organic herbs! Choosing organic herbs is so important, many unnecessary chemicals are added to conventional herbs these days. The lemon verbena grows wild in the fields of Greece. This fragrant, lemony herb is perfect for culinary uses and is known for its soothing digestive properties since Ancient Greece.

3. Edward and Sons is an online retailer offering a wide variety of natural and organic products. They are well known for their coconut milk items made without fillers and gums like many canned coconut products on the market. I was most excited about their coconut curry milk product! You just heat the milk with lentils, add veggies, or add to a soup for extra flavor. So great and no weird ingredients.

A long-time favorite of mine, SunButter is made from just one ingredient: roasted sunflower seeds! It is free of the top-8 allergens and contains high amounts of iron and magnesium, and sunflower seeds are also anti-inflammatory. Plus, sunflowers are highly sustainable compared to almonds. So it makes a great alternative to nut butter, especially for those with allergies or if you just love sunflower seeds, you will love SunButter.

Hampton Grocer makes delicious granola! They use all organic ingredients made with real, whole foods, and sweetened with honey.

13. Rind
Rind makes delicious, non-GMO dried fruit snacks. These are an epic upgrade for traditional fruit snack. They offer a variety of fruits and their newest products are fruit “chips.” I love that they use no added sugar, its just the fruit which is hard to find these days!

14. Spindrift
Spindrift is one of the cleanest sparkling waters I have seen to date. Made with real fresh-squeezed fruit for flavor and nothing else added. The waters have a color to them which is how you can tell if the flavoring is natural or genetically modified. Sparkling waters that have fruit flavors and are clear, typically have been made with fake flavorings.

15. Zolli Pops
Known as the “clean teeth candy,” Zolli Pops comes in a variety of flavors and types of candy. Sweetened with stevia, and colored with turmeric, red beet, spirulina, and blueberry juice. This is an excellent upgrade from traditional candy.

17. Remedy Organics
I tried Remedy at the Winter Fancy Food Show and though they were so delicious, I needed to share again! They make a plant-based protein shake and immunity shots. The chocolate one made with cacao was delicious and had 14 grams of protein per serving. Also sweetened with coconut sugar, so no stevia flavor backlash! They are fully organic and add adaptogens and other superfoods to their drinks. So great for a busy morning breakfast or afternoon pick-me-up.

19. Raaka Chocolate
I am so excited about this chocolate! There are so many chocolate brands today, but not many that are organic, pure cacao, dairy-free, AND sweetened with natural sweeteners. Raaka is epic, they just use cacao beans, and cacao butter, and depending on the flavor they will use the real fruit, for example, organic strawberry in the bar shown here! A must-try!

20. Pop Bitties
Pop Bitties are ancient grain chips and they are delicious! Made with non-GMO ingredients, these are definitely an upgrade for conventional chips. They offer 7 different varieties, each is delicious, however, the Himalayan Salt was my favorite because there is no added sugar. If you are looking for a chip upgrade, I recommend trying these out!
