WEST PALM BEACH, FL — Z Natural Foods has announced the release of its wholesale product list, which is available to download for free here. Used by food manufacturers and retailers, this list includes vegan milk powders, protein powders, fruit powders, super green blends and more.
With more than 400 specialty superfoods, Z Natural Foods provides a wide range of natural ingredients to the biggest wholesalers and retailers in the industry, including commercial bakeries looking for ways to meet consumers’ growing demands for clean-label, better-for-you products.
“The great thing about our powders is that they can be added for flavor or as a functional food with only minor recipe alterations,” said Sam Hirschberg, director of marketing at Z Natural Foods. “Our powders are concentrated and don’t add any additional moisture to baked products. They are also quick to incorporate and have a great shelf life. These properties make them easier and more economical than trying to work with fresh produce.”
Some of the most popular superfoods that Z Natural Foods provides include organic coconut and cashew milk powders, extra rich cacao (100% cacao) and plant-based proteins. All the company’s products are grown organically and free of chemicals, pesticides, heavy metals and contaminants.

The quality and quantity of these products make them versatile for application in baked goods. According to Hirscherg, some of the most popular products for bakers are also exceptionally high in nutrition:
- Coconut palm sugar is lower glycemic than sugar, contains some minerals and has a caramelly taste.
- Luo Han Guo is a superfood sweetener similar to stevia in that it is very sweet but does not raise blood sugar.
- Organic cacao powder (100% cacao) is popular in chocolate recipes for its sugar-free and nutrient-packed profile, as it contains high levels of potassium, iron and flavonoids (which improve blood flow and help lower blood pressure).
- Organic coconut and cashew milk powders are popular, dairy-free replacements for traditional milk. These alternatives offer fewer calories, lower carbs and less fat than cow’s milk, without compromising on texture or taste.
