While we missed being together in-person, IFT FIRST attendees accessed a variety of resources in the ABC Supplier Suite, including:

  • An on-demand session, “Propelling Product Innovation from Mainstream to Next Level,” in which research chef Rob Corliss from All Things Epicurean and Director of Innovation Lu Ann Williams from Innova Market Insights dug deeper into the 2020 almond global new products data and looked ahead to future opportunities with product innovation.
  • ABC experts who answered questions about almond nutrition, sustainability and processing techniques
  • Downloadable collateral including our 2020 Global New Products infographic

Five future-forward almond formulations developed and showcased by Chef Rob, such as:

Harissa Apricot Almond Bars

The fruit and spice of the harissa apricot topping make the flavor of these chewy bars made with defatted almond flour really pop. The sliced and toasted almonds also give an added crunch to these delicious snack bars.  

​​​​​Vegan Almond Queso

Creamy almond butter, almond milk, cauliflower and roasted red bell pepper come together for a bold, plant-based queso that will be the perfect addition to an appetizer spread at a social event or for delightful, individual snacking with tortilla chips or vegetable crudité.
