Expo East Gallery: Nuts About Nuts
The food industry is going nuts — literally.
While personal preferences and food allergies are a growing concern among consumers, many are actively seeking out nuts and seeds as part of plant-based, high-fat and high-protein diets.
At Expo East 2017 in Baltimore, Md., the Project NOSH team examined how nuts are playing an increasingly prominent role within the industry. From dairy-alternative yogurts to on-the-go snack bars, here’s what we saw from nut-based products exhibited on the show floor.
