WHAT’S NEW
AVOS ARE ON TREND
Local avocados are ripe and ready to enjoy and they’re super-trendy this season too. Frozen avo treats have made the lists of many trend watchers this year, who say the rise in plant-based foods – everything from burgers to ice-cream – is driving this craze, with the smooth, creamy texture and buttery flavour of avocado making it a hit in the frozen department. Avos are riding the popular meat-free wave, in dishes like vegetable bounty bowls, meatless makeover meals and trendy nosh platters. One of the biggest food trends this year is convenience: on-the-go food, nutrient-dense snacks and healthy meal replacements that provide satiety and nutrition for times-trapped consumers. Eaten straight out the skin, avos offer a quick, easy and fully mobile meal option for breakfast, school and office lunches, and supper – all with 100% compostable ‘packaging’ to boot!
