Given an alternative – Hitting the Shelves – non-dairy, frozen dessert; roasted soy gourmet coffee; potato-based beverage – Brief Article
A new entry into mainstream American supermarkets is Swedish Glace, from Perry’s Ice Cream, Akron, N.Y. Suitable for vegetarians, this non-dairy, frozen dessert is made with organic soybeans. Chocolate, vanilla, strawberry and mocha flavors are retailing in Northeastern supermarkets for $3.99.
The last soybean glace entry in the U.S. was in 2000, from WholeSoy, San Francisco. Other notable alternative products of late include a roasted soy and gourmet coffee blend from Rocamojo, Los Angeles, available on the Internet. Certified organic, it contains 50% less caffeine than regular brewed coffee. In Canada, consumers can now enjoy a potato-based milk-type beverage called Tayo, “a refreshing nondairy beverage.” Available in several flavors, the drink is easy to digest, is cholesterol-, lactose-, and fat-free, and is fortified with several vitamins and minerals. It is available from Tayo Foods and is shelf stable.
