Just when you thought you’d heard of every nut butter, Tiger Butter arrives. But don’t let the nutty taste of Tiger Butter fool you. Yes, it’s made with tiger nuts. But guess what? Tiger nuts are actually a root vegetable typically cultivated in Spain and Africa. Still, this spread is packed with prebiotic fiber and a worthy addition to any spread repertoire. SRP: $16.99; Booth 6510
Soy sauce keeps many from being able to enjoy a good teriyaki sauce, but Primal Kitchen’s no soy version of this classic makes it possible again. Whole30 Approved, gluten free and paleo friendly, it’s ready to be used as a sauce in a wok or as a marinade for the BBQ. No matter the dish, the sweet and savory flavor won’t disappoint. SRP: $7.99; Booth 8724
Who would have thought pesky watermelon seeds could actually serve up a unique flavor profile of their own. Thanks to 88 Acres, we now know they do. They also pack a nutrition punch as they are high in iron, magnesium and protein, to name just a few benefits. Of course, blending them into a certified organic spread makes them much easier to eat than fresh out of the watermelon. SRP: $14.99; Booth 8309
Made with grass-fed organic ghee, Pure Indian Foods’ certified organic Curry in a Hurry Madras sauce offers up medium heat with adjectives such as “bright,” “bold,” “tangy” and “sweet” used to describe its flavor. Use it to saute vegetables or chicken, or mix it with a can of coconut milk to simmer a meal. SRP: $10.95; Booth 8410
Easy peasy squeezies … we’re serious, these new squeezable coconut butters are a game changer for weekend road trips and camping, smoothies or the almond and chocolate flavors work for a quick snack on the go. Whatever the need, we love these 6.2-ounce squeezable pouches. And the new 12-ounce squeezable pouches are also incredibly handy too. SRP: $6.99 (6.2 ounces); Booth 1216
Keto dieters will love NuttZo’s new certified organic Keto Butter. Made with eight simple ingredients, seven of them nuts and seeds—coconut, Brazil nuts, almonds, pecans, macadamia nuts, flax seeds, chia seeds and celtic sea salt—each serving packs just 2 grams net carbs. SRP: $12.99; Booth 8800

As one of the smaller categories in grocery, it has been fun to watch the exponential growth in condiments, spreads and sauces over the past few years as it catches up with market trends. So it’s no surprise that the drivers of growth in this category are similar to what is happening in other categories. Plant-based and allergen-free are bringing new butters, spreads and sauces onto shelves, while special diets such as keto and Paleo are serving up modified versions of old standbys such as ketchup and Teriyaki sauce.
And, if there’s is one thing we’ve learned about millennials, it’s that they love their flavors. They want access to a global cuisine even if it’s in their own kitchen—hence, from sriracha sauce to hummus and curry, new products are ensuring that palettes never get bored.
Of course, convenience is the other essential element. Consumers today want to cook in a jiffy, with fast access to flavors at home or on-the-go. These new condiments help us access the spices of India or Africa without having to spend hours creating it ourselves, while new packaging ensures that we can even take oils and sauces with us to work or camping.
It’s a brave new world when it comes to this category, and we’re loving it!
