As consumers seek healthier alternatives to conventional dairy and protein, favorites like peanuts, almonds, and hazelnuts will continue to shine. Swapping cashew or almond milk for traditional dairy milk may take some experimentation, but incorporating a healthy plant-based alternative to conventional recipes will create loyal fans among health- and planet-conscious customers.

Don’t be afraid to explore. Macadamias, Brazil nuts, Marcona almonds, and pistachios have loyal fans all over the world and can be a fun addition to your assortment. Like nuts, seeds are becoming more and more popular, especially for those who seek traditional favorites but need to avoid tree nuts and peanuts. Sesame and sunflower are easy-to-find alternatives that are both tasty and healthy.
