These are the gotta-try food trends.

Sink your teeth into the latest healthy trends.

Earlier this month, we nibbled our way through Natural Products Expo East, the largest healthy trade show on the East Coast. The trends we deemed worth trying:

The next superfood: Coconut
Enjoy it in Earth Balance's organic coconut spread, a lactose-free, gluten-free, soy-free vegan alternative to butter; sweeten up with Madhava Naturals Coconut Sugar, made from the sap of the coconut palm tree (it tastes like caramel!) or sip an almond and coconut milk blend, soon to be released by Almond Breeze.

The next genius app: Honest Label
Honest Label's free barcode-scanning app for iPhone and Android takes the guesswork out of healthy eating and boasts more than 250,000 entries for grocery store products. Customize the settings according to your goals and concerns, such as vegan, nut allergy, no HFCS and more. Download at the iTunes App Store here or for your Android phone here.

The next vegan alternative: Sophie's Kitchen Vegan Seafood
Made from a Japanese root, Sophie's Kitchen Vegan Seafood totally surprised us. The soy-free "shrimp" actually tasted like shellfish! Order here.
