Hundreds of new kosher products will be introduced at the 23rd Annual Kosherfest show, the largest trade show featuring kosher food, foodservice, drink, liquor, wine, and Jewish gifts from around the globe, November 8-9, 2011 at the Meadowlands Expo Center (www.kosherfest.com).

According to Menachem Lubinsky, founder and co-producer of Kosherfest, “Natural, healthy and gluten-free products continue to grow among new kosher product categories, as an estimated 18 million people in the US are sensitive to gluten. ‘Kosher’ now appears on more new products than any other claim. And, more and more kosher foods are available in unexpected places, from Six Flags Great Adventures, to Madison Square Garden.”

This year, new and unusual flavors have popped up in all kinds of products, from ready-to-make mushroom quinoa (Pereg-Gourmet.com) to cherry-infused challah (challywood.net). There’s nothing bland about kosher, as more than 12,250,000 kosher consumers seek new ingredients, new cookbooks, and easy-to-use and ready-to-make products that will bring them into 2012 and beyond.
