Flower Crystals® Hibiscus and Peachy Deegan
Brilliant, rich burgundy color. Wonderful sweet & sour flavor. A perfect combination of sweetness & citrus taste, these crystals are an ideal flavor accent in so many dishes. Add a tangy spark to desserts; innovative topping for lemon sorbet, soufflets, and chocolate ganache. Since Hibiscus is a popular ingredient in new, creative cocktails, Hibiscus Crystals are a natural addition to drinks. Toss in Hibiscus tea! The tart, lemony flavor pairs perfectly with seafood; sprinkle on smoked salmon hor d’oeuvres, specialty ceviches, & even raw oysters.

Over 20,000 restaurant and foodservice professionals met at the Javits Center in New York City on March 4-6, 2018 for the International Restaurant & Foodservice Show of New York. This year’s show brought qualified buyers to the show floor to experience all the newest innovations and products offered from 550+ exhibitors.
“Since 1993, The International Restaurant & Foodservice Show of New York has been the leading industry event for qualified buyers to find the products and solutions they need to bring to their restaurant operations, and for exhibitors to generate valuable leads and get their products in front of industry professionals,” said Tom Loughran, Vice President. “We look forward to seeing the results from these changes – made in tandem with our exhibiting customer feedback.”
Added Loughran, “We are committed to continue to bring quality attendees from leading foodservice establishments to the event to exceed our exhibitors’ expectations. With this in mind, we have invested in a key-buyer program manager to work one-on-one with top multi-unit operators and high volume independents to match them with exhibitors who meet their product needs. Karen Gillis will be reaching out to all exhibitors shortly to introduce them to the program and identify nominees.”
The International Restaurant Show consistently attracts over 16,000 Independent Restaurant Owners, Full Serve and Quick Serve Establishment Operators; Caterers, Bakers, Chefs, and others from across all segments and concepts; plus, bars, nightclubs, hospitals, hotels and commercial foodservice operations. Over 75% of the attendees are involved in their company’s purchasing decisions and nearly half plan to spend at least $100,000 on products and services at the show with 25% planning to spend more than $500,000. This truly represents a quality set of buyers who attend.
There will be a few new additions to this year’s food pavilions. In addition to the current Taste NY & Craft Beverage Showcase and Food Trends Experience Pavilion, there will also be a new Healthy Foods Pavilion, an expanded International Flavors Pavilion, and Pubware & Bar Equipment Pavilion based off of the latest industry trends.
