After launching Fruit Pearls, Nature's Premium is debuting Dessert Pearls, a new frozen novelty with a yogurt pearl base and unique flavors and textured add-ins to create varieties like Cookies & Cream; Chocolate Mint and Strawberry Cheesecake.
Nature’s Premium Dessert Pearls use CitraPac's proprietary cryogenic technology, making it easier for retailers and consumers to store the products at regular freezer temperatures without losing shape like some flash-frozen beaded treats. “The frozen dessert category has an opportunity to grow with innovative, single-serve portions that are hassle-free,” said Hal Woodyard, SVP of sales and business development at CitraPac, “The category is also primed for growth as consumer awareness of food waste issues has climbed with economic pressures where shoppers want the most value out of their purchases.”
