Three New Products, Endless Possibilities
Released on March 3, Camu Camu Puree and Soursop Puree reflect diverse palates and demand for global flavors. Camu Camu is a super fruit crafted from the nutrient-rich reddish-purple berries of the Amazon rainforest. Revered by indigenous populations throughout South America for its medicinal properties, Camu Camu is harvested by boat from tall shrubs that grow in water part of the year. Bright tartness and subtle citrus undertones make Camu Camu a versatile rising star for both culinary and beverage innovation. Its tart, tangy flavor goes well with sweeter fruits like pineapple, mango, cherries and coconut. Camu Camu is Kosher, vegan and non-GMO. Try it in Camu Camu Caipirinha, Citrusy Camu Camu Mignonette or Camu Camu Salad Dressing. Recipe photos available upon request.
Soursop Puree captures the lush, tropical essence of this sensational fruit, also known as guanabana or graviola. Native to the tropics, soursop is a large, aromatic fruit that grows on broadleaf evergreen trees and weighs 3-4 pounds when mature. Its spiky green skin reveals sweet, creamy white flesh whose flavor is compared to a mix of apple, pineapple, banana and strawberry. With its distinctive harmony of sweet and tangy notes, Soursop Puree brings captivating aroma to every creation from beverages to desserts. Soursop is Kosher, vegan and non-GMO. Try it in Playa Paraiso with or without rum, Soursop Curry Sauce or Soursop Flan. Recipe photos available upon request.
Tastecraft, released in January in partnership with German company Döhler, is an innovative line of freeze-dried fruit that offers the flavor, shape and nutritional value of just-picked fruit in shelf stable, resealable pouches. Much more than a garnish, Tastecraft is designed to enhance offerings by adding texture, flavor and visual interest. Because of its low moisture content and crisp texture, Tastecraft can be ground into a powder and added to recipes for flavor.
