8 Innovative Concepts From FARE's Food Pavilion

GRAPEVINE, Texas -- The Food Pavilion at FARE 2016 did not skimp on innovation. From new uses for waffles to new flavors of milk, companies showcased new products and foodservice solutions that were both creative and versatile. Here's a peek into the Food Pavilion ...

This 2-pound sheet of Rice Krispies Treats from Kellogg's is as versatile as it is large. It can be cut up and served as is, or transformed into cakes, biscotti, kabobs and more.

The Manifesto line of cookies, brownies and bars from Sweet Street rolled out in May. The products are GMO-free, additive-free and made using 100% pure cane sugar and cage-free eggs, attributes that are becoming increasingly important to consumers. 

Customization is also becoming increasingly important to consumers, and with this new Hawaiian Island gourmet syrup from Monin, you can customize an assortment of beverages, from sparkling water to iced teas. The Hawaiian Island syrup features hints of passion fruit, orange and guava. 

Baked 100% cheese, these Cheese Crisps from Fresh Gourmet can add a flavorful crunch to salads, soups and wraps--or you may just want to eat them right out of the bag. Cheese Crisps come in two flavors: Parmesan and Asiago.  

Krispy Krunchy has been offering Mashed Potatoes & Gravy for less than a month, but it's the perfect pairing with Krispy Krunchy's signature chicken. The addition offers a "from scratch" flavor that is quick and easy to prepare. 

Kellogg's showcased foldable waffles that can be used for more than the breakfast day-part. The "waffles as bread carriers" concept can extend to tacos, breakfast and lunch sandwiches, and even desserts. The company also highlighted the versatility of small-size pancakes to create breakfast sliders. 

Spice up your foodservice offerings with new seasonings from Grill Mates. Smokehouse Maple, Brown Sugar Bourbon and Mojito Lime pair well with a variety of meats, including chicken, pork and ribs. 

Silk from WhiteWave Foods is now offering Cashew Milk, which the company says is the first of its kind. Silk Cashew comes in vanilla and chocolate flavors in 12-ounce bottles.
