Blue Diamond expands flavor portfolio
US almond suppliers Blue Diamond Growers will expand its portfolio, adding four new flavors to its oil-roasted line of almonds for use as ingredients in snack, nut and trail mixes.
The new flavors include Hickory Smoked, Kansas City Barbecue, Fire-Roasted Tomato Salsa and Teriyaki.
"They were developed specifically for industrial customers to add both variety and taste to new product formulations," said the growers.
"Blue Diamond expects to leverage its winning formula for developing new almond flavors by making them available to the global food buyers seeking innovative ingredients for new products," added the co-operative.
The nut suppliers expect another "bumper California crop" of nearly 1.5 billion pounds of almonds this autumn.
