San Antonio, TX. 17 Apr 2009 ------------------------------------------------------------- Excerpt: Tropical Foods is showing a taste for change. The Charlotte snackmaker, best known for producing packaged bulk nuts, dried fruits and snack mixes, is introducing about a dozen new products this year — from Buffalo Nuts to all-organic snacks. Company officials say they’ve avoided a downturn in revenue by developing products aimed at American diners’ choosy palates. “We want to target new trends and the sectors of customers that follow them,” says Arnie Stone, Tropical’s vice president. “We’re becoming more of a branded manufacturer than in the past.” … “People are really into bold flavors right now,” Stone says. “The U.S. population is traveling more and they want to try new things. It’s no longer good enough to have Chinese flavors. It has to be from a certain province.” Some of the new products recently or soon to be unveiled include: -Artisan Creations line of snacks, including buffalo, wasabi soy sauce, coffee, and peanut butter and jelly flavors.

Go a bit farther and, alas, there's red pepper jelly. It used to be that spreads such as onion or pepper weren't commonplace beyond farmers markets and gourmet specialty stores, local jam makers say. But now you can find them at the local grocer. "They're making a comeback," said Eve Felder, chef and associate dean for The Culinary Institute of America, based in Hyde Park, N.Y. Jellies, jams and preserves made from things other than sweet fruits can go great with meats and cheeses, Felder said.
