Bejou Hydrating Dew Moisturizer

When developing her skin care line, Bejou founder Carolina Lopez wanted to create products that highlight nutrient-dense ingredients from her home country of Colombia, promote healthy skin naturally and don’t break the bank.

Packaged in a unique refillable container.
MisoHeat Chili Paste

Great cooks know that umami—also known as the meaty or savory taste—is a great way to infuse depth and flavor into a dish. No wonder MisoHeat was founded by a professional chef and culinary educator! Curtis Bell is the brain behind MisoHeat Chili Paste, which contains red miso paste and six varieties of roasted peppers, but no oil, added sugar or gluten. Enjoy this vegan paste with toast, scrambled eggs, soups, meats and more.

Growee Foods Red Pepper Dip and Spread
SRP: $7.99
Booth: 650
Traditional dips for chips and crudités are often calorie bombs made with heavy ingredients such as sour cream or mayo. Not Growee’s line of creamy, veggie-forward dips and spreads, which place sweet red bell peppers, tomatoes, sunflower seeds and spices at center stage. Perfect for smearing on a sandwich or enjoying with veggie sticks, this nutrient-dense, allergen-free alternative enables tasty snacking.
Red Boat Vietnamese Lemongrass Curry
SRP: $7.99
Booth: 745
Red Boat is known for its authentic Vietnamese fish sauce made from black anchovies caught near Vietnam’s Phú Quốc archipelago. That very fish sauce is part of what makes the company’s new line of simmer sauces, including Lemongrass Curry, so tasty. This gluten-free sauce also features coconut cream, tomatoes, sweet potato puree, dried lemongrass leaves and a flurry of spices like makrut lime leaves and paprika.
Progeny Cold Brew COPO
Booth: 1352
When Maria Palacio, a fifth-generation Colombian coffee farmer, saw that fancy U.S. coffee shops could charge nearly $8 for a pour-over, she was surprised. How could specialty coffee be sold at such a high price while coffee farmers in Colombia lived in poverty? She founded Progeny, a line of canned cold brews, to source specialty coffee beans directly from Colombia and pay farmers a fair, premium price. This version has flavor notes of sumptuous pecan and milk chocolate.
