Nearly 200 entries were evaluated by an independent panel of judges based on appearance, flavor, texture, uniformity and overall quality.
The following Pure Flavor products were recognized this year:
- Coolest Cucumber — Cocktail Cucumber Category — Poco Bites
- Perfect Pepper — Orange Bell Pepper Category – Orange Sweet Bell
- Chef’s Choice Award — Tomato — Rocco Reds Tomato
- Overall Best in Competition — Pepper Category — Orange Sweet Bell
