03 — Product stories

Why these products are worth discovering.

Growth category

Why lalo is growing in demand

Haitian, West African and Middle Eastern households cook lalo (jute leaf) weekly — and there are few reliable frozen suppliers. Stocking clean, ready-to-use lalo turns a hard-to-find item into a repeat purchase that builds loyalty in your produce and frozen sets.

Trending

Why soursop keeps trending

Soursop (guanabana) is one of the most-searched tropical fruits, riding the wellness and smoothie wave. Frozen soursop and pulp let retailers capture that demand year-round — no short fresh season, no spoilage, consistent margin.

Caribbean staple

Why bammy & breadfruit belong in more freezers

Bammy and breadfruit are everyday staples for Caribbean shoppers but rare on mainstream shelves. Carrying authentic frozen versions signals to the community that your store is the place to find home — and pulls in weekly basket trips.

Fast-growing

Why African vegetables are a category to watch

African grocery is one of the fastest-growing ethnic segments in the U.S. Leafy staples like bitter leaf, ugu and amaranth are bought in volume and rarely discounted — a high-loyalty, low-competition category for forward-looking retailers.
