Vancouver, B.C. based Daiya brand foods, caters to individuals living a dairy free or vegan life style.  Daiya is most notably known for their vegan cheeses which come in different varieties (mozzarella, cheddar, and pepper jack).  Scurrying down the frozen pizza isle at Whole Foods, one couldn't help but notice that Daiya has frozen pizzas!

What do fruits like mangosteen, acai berries, chokeberries, goji berries, noni fruit, blueberries, lychee berries, ligon berries and maqui berries have in common?
