New product innovations

Frequently cited as a ‘must attend’ for discovering innovative new ideas and concepts, Nordic Organic Food Fair has proved popular with buyers from across Scandinavia and beyond.  Last year’s 3,930 attendees (up 10% from 2014) represented over 2,000 companies, from 59 different countries. 

Over 4,500 attendees are expected for 2016.  Here’s a preview of some of the new organic and natural products they’ll see at the show:

• KULAU GmbH is launching its new crunchy KULAU Snax range, made with organic seaweed chips.  The chips are carefully dried, not fried, so they contain less fat and are loaded with nutrients.

• Bravo Foods is launching its QuinuaReal quinoa range, made from high quality organic Bolivian quinoa. 

• The Free From People is showcasing Buttercup Meadow's latest range of natural free-from mixes, in six flavours.  Uses include everything from stuffing, burgers, sausages, meatballs and meatloaf to dim sum and wontons.

• Mediterranena Vegetable Oil is launching a new Organic Avocado Extra Virgin Oil – a first from Spain.

• Herb Hero is introducing Moringa powder, Turmeric powder, and Coconut Oil.  Raw, vegan and organic, they are made as simply as possible to retain as many nutrients as possible.

• BioStyle is launching Goody bites – a new generation of organic raw food with bio active ingredients.  It contains essential fatty acids, as well as superfoods.

• New Go4Raw Crackers are made with 100% raw ‘living’ ingredients, which are dried below 42 degrees celsius, so that minerals and vitamins are retained.  They are organic, vegan and gluten free.

• Pip Organic’s new Fruity Water is available in Mango, Orange & Apple and Blackcurrant, Raspberry & Apple flavours.  It’s made with a blend of organic fruits mixed with spring water, with no sugar, flavourings, or sweeteners.

• LA NAYA chocolate is showcasing its organic chocolate bars, handmade with high quality cocoa beans and tropical fruits.  Flavours include pistachio & cocoa nibs; strawberries, cinnamon & chili; and orange & juniper.

• Bio Green Food is showcasing Greenherz’s new homemade-style bio-vegan spreads, sauces and dips.  The range includes guacamole, pesto rosso, mexican sauce, and pepper, almond, tomato, and black garlic pâtés.

• Natural Crunch is showcasing Vitasnack Organic Fruit Crunch & Choc, made with mango, pineapple, strawberry, banana, apple and cocoa.  It contains no added sugars, with only 78 kcals per 20g pack.

• Grybai LT is showcasing its new whole organic champignons in brine.  Farm-grown, hand-picked, and then processed in their own factory, they are packaged a light weight plastic pouch to ensure freshness and reduce CO2 emissions during the product lifecycle (compared to using a glass jar of the same size).
