Introducing Quinocchis
Finalists in the聽IFTSA & Mars Product Development Competition,聽Marie Pr茅mont St-Jean, Omid Sadeghpour Marvi, Nicole Yateke, Diana Rodriguez-Hernandez and Veronica Jaramillo聽have created Quinocchis, a unique plant-based product that brings a delightful experience to your plate. Inside each bite of Quinocchis, a creamy plant-based ricotta-like filling enhances your taste experience. Quinocchis offer consumers the choice between a savoury or sweet meal.
Introducing Bonapia
Finalists in the Developing Solutions for Developing Countries Product Development Competition, Aretha Gani, Cindy Nguyen, Zijing Yu Xiyuan Shang, Wenhua Lian and Jinyu Zhou have invented Bonapia, which combines tilapia, sweet potato, and black bean to produce an all-purpose paste that can be used by the snack industry to manufacture crispy chips or diluted by households for the preparation of stew. It could also be used by households to make Kasav, Haitian cassava bread, after combining it with grated cassava. It is specifically formulated to tackle malnutrition in Haiti by ameliorating deficiencies in vitamin A, folic acid, iodine, zinc, and iron, while reducing reliance on imports to feed their population.
Introducing Magic Mud Pots
Finalists in the聽IFTSA Smart Snacks for Kids Product Development Competition, Emily Legault, Chanie Corbeil-Stroombergen, Marguerite Drolet, and Siqi Li have developed Magic Mud Pots, a delightful, health-conscious, and engaging alternative to traditional chocolate pudding. Designed to captivate children and satisfy the requirements of parents and schools alike, these gluten-free and nut-free treats offer a unique three-part experience; a decadent cup of chocolate black bean pudding crowned with a lid split into two compartments: one containing vegetable-shaped gummies, the other chocolate quinoa crumble.聽Kids channel their inner farmer as they "till the soil" or playfully mix the pudding with the crumble and use the vegetable-shaped gummies to "plant and harvest" their own "vegetables" before eating them. Magic Mud Pots provide an excellent hands-on opportunity to educate youth on common agricultural practices.
Last year, 苹果淫院 students Cassandra Popovich, Valerie Leclerc, and Jiachen Wei聽 for their team's Hungry Monster chocolate-flavored tart that kids can build by themselves by filling the tarts and decorating them into hungry monsters using fun decorations.
Congratulations and good luck to all of our remarkable competitors!
