“Grain-Free” May Be A Smarter Marketing Claim Than Paleo

March 18, 2016: 12:00 AM EST
A Whole Foods Market employee with the title of “forager” recently toured a natural food products expo in California, discussing items that form the avant garde of food trends. Among the innovations – e.g., full-fat foods, veggie-flavored yogurts, organic kefir, etc. – were foods that promised to be “grain-free,” a new term that may supplant “gluten-free” and “Paleo” on packages. Sampling a grain-free granola made from bananas, cashew butter and seeds, Elly Truesdell said the term was better marketing and just plain “smart,” now that Paleo is “losing some steam.”
