MANHASSET, NEW YORK, SEPTEMBER 13, 2023 – Annette R. Crymes of Florissant, Missouri has been honored as a Woman of the Month for September 2023 by P.O.W.E.R. (Professional Organization of Women of Excellence Recognized) for her outstanding contributions and great success in the field of food and beverage.
ABOUT ANNETTE R. CRYMES
Annette R. Crymes is the president of Culinary Nutritionals, a consulting agency specializing in flavor development, product research and development, vanilla products and consultations, Peruvian vanilla extracts, teas, and coffees.
Crymes is also the force behind The Pompona ProjectTM LLC and Pompona Project Peru S.R.L. – an effort to reintroduce culturally significant and natural vanilla crops to the Peruvian people. The project aims to create awareness of this natural resource and develop Peruvian vanilla products for entry into the commercial domestic and international markets beginning with exhibiting the products at the ExpoAlimentaria 2023, one of the biggest food and beverage conferences in Latin America. “The idea came to me while taking a university course in the Peruvian Amazon jungle,” said Crymes. “Most indigenous people are unaware of the potential economic value of their crops.”
Annette earned an M.A. in International Affairs from Washington University and is a candidate for a Ph.D. from Washington University. She belongs to the American Chemical Society, Women in Flavor and Fragrance Commerce, and Missouri Botanical Gardens.
In her spare time, Annette enjoys gardening, cooking, crocheting, reading, thinking and volunteering.
