FAST FOOD NEWS: Starbucks Cascara Latte

Marvo / January 9, 2017 / Fast Food News / 5 Comments

Starbucks’ first new product of the year is the Cascara Latte.

Not familiar with cascara? It’s the outer skin and pulp of coffee cherries, which grow on coffee trees once a year. Starbucks is using the fruit to give the latte a subtle, lightly sweet flavor.

The new beverage combines espresso with steamed milk and cascara syrup. It’s topped with a velvety foam and a sprinkle of cascara topping made with cascara extract and cane sugar that’s done in a straight line, which according to Starbucks, “mirrors the inside of a coffee cherry.”

Starbucks’ Cascara Latte will be available throughout the winter, while supplies last.

A 16-ounce serving with 2% milk has 240 calories, 60 calories from fat, 7 grams of fat, 4 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 25 milligrams of cholesterol, 160 milligrams of sodium, 34 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of fiber, 32 grams of sugar, 11 grams of protein, and 160 milligrams of caffeine.

If you’ve tried it, let us know what you think of it in the comments.

SPOTTED ON SHELVES: Maltesers Candy (U.S.)

Marvo / January 9, 2017 / Spotted on Shelves / 12 Comments

Not a new candy, but it’s new to the United States. Okay, not totally new to the United States. There were probably some shops that imported them in from Canada or the U.K. But now you’ll be able to find them much easier in the U.S. The candy features a crispy, airy center, wrapped in a chocolatey covering. (Spotted by Rachel C at Macey’s and Jason P at Kmart.)
