With Passover less than ten weeks away now, this article from the Jan 29 edition of Kosher Today was especially important to see.We have excerpted part of an article about new foods for Pesach…….
In foods and related goods, consumers will have several hundred new items to choose from, making Passover feel very festive but in many respects feel like any other day of the year. From HKS: Sparkling PomeGrape Juice and Pomegranate Juice, Gefen Rotelle (Wagon Wheel Wagon Pasta) Non Gebrokts and Cholesterol free, Kineret Frozen Soup Bowls: Vegetable, Potato and Chicken Noodle Soup, Kineret French Fries (zero grams of Trans fat), Kineret Potato Vegetable Poppers & Potato Pizza Poppers, Tivi Valley All Natural Red Peppers, Bartenura Grapeseed Oil (no carbs, no cholesterol or trans fat), Savion Cinnamon flavored Matzo Snacks, Savion Toasted Coconut Marshmallows, Fireman’s Frenzy Sauces & Marinades, Gadilla Snack Hits in Falafel (Onion and Barbeque flavor all in one once bags).
From Israel comes Alei Katif with a new line of baby spinach; Osem has a new line called Shkedia. Other Osem products include Bittersweet Chocolate Coated Coffee Beans, Hazelnuts, Raisins, Bittersweet Chocolate Coated Citrus Peels Gift Box, Bittersweet Chocolate Coated Mix Gift Box, Jordan Almonds, and a mini can of Sliced Green Olives. Wissotzky Green Teas has two new flavors for Pesach, Apples & Cinnamon and Lemon & Honey. From “Kasher V’Sameach” comes a new line of upscale and healthy mixes: English Cake Mixes, Pancake Mix, Blintzes Mix, Chocolate Truffles Mix and Kneidel Mix as well as Coating Crumbs. From Matzot Aviv comes a new tin decorated with a piece of art by Menashe Kadishman. The picture that was chosen is one of Kadishman’s sheep, due to the connection between the sheep and Passover’s sacrifice.
From Manischewitz: Whole Grain Matzo Farfel and Matzo Meal, Italian Herb Coating Crumbs, Family Size Matzo Ball Mix, Manischewitz Sparkling Grape Juice, Concord and Niagara, Blanchard & Blanchard Salad Dressings come in Traditional French and Thousand Island. Mishpacha Kids Apple Juice and Fruit Punch Tetra-Pack, Mishpacha Kids Apple Juice and Fruit Juice, Manischewitz Cereal: Cocoa Magic Crunch, Fruity Magic Cereal and Sunny O’s. Sultan’s Finest Foods is introducing Pure Tunisian Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Snack Factory is a new flavor of Pretzel Crisps, Honey Mustard & Onion. Neshama is introducing new low fat/low carb chicken and turkey sausages. From VIP Foods comes new Kojel jello flavors. From Rue Lafayette a new Apple Sauce in a Pouch. From Quality Frozen Foods, Izzy’s Best fresh chestnuts.
In addition to the many new items listed above, we also received word of numerous new chocolate and snack items as well as cleaning and other Seder related gift items. One distributor said his list for Passover 2007 is well over 21,000 items, certainly a far cry from what was available only a decade ago.

Hard to remember that we were kids there was no milchiqs and little to eat other than eggs, onions and potatoes.
