Ladyfingers is a product that has been around for many years, gaining popularity and use throughout the 1950’s, 1960’s and early 1970’s. They have become an ingredient in making trifles, charlottes and the traditional family dessert that is passed down through the generations.

Throughout the 1980’s, Ladyfinger volume declined as peopled moved out of the kitchen and the food service trade was neglected.  In the 1990’s, Ladyfingers started growing again, gaining popularity, in part, because the Company developed consumer awareness and education programs.  Ladyfingers are ideal for today’s lifestyle, whether used in decadent desserts such as Tiramisu and Chocolate Ice Box Cake, or as part of a lite dessert such as Strawberries and Ladyfingers.  They are the basic ingredient in an endless variety of no-bake desserts, which provide some great dessert alternatives for today’s busy schedules.  In addition, with only 26 calories and less than ½ gram of fat, Ladyfingers can fit into today’s nutrition conscious lifestyles.
