    Kayco Launches New WONDER LEMON™ 100% Organic Cold-Pressed Juice

    Kayco introduces WONDER LEMON™, a first-of-its-kind, superior-quality 100% organic cold-pressed juice with zero added sugar. WONDER LEMON was carefully created to combine the deliciousness of high sugar lemonade with the health benefits of lemon, and without the overbearing acidity of regular lemon water. WONDER LEMON gets it ‘ripe’ with the national debut of three natural lemon juice blends made of pure lemon juice and other fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices. WONDER LEMON uses only fair trade, high-quality, and kosher ingredients to make a juice loaded with vitamins and nutrients.

    “Everyone loves the refreshing and delicious flavor of lemons, yet many do not know that lemons have incredible health benefits, says Laura Morris, Associate Marketing Director at Kayco Brands. “Unlike many other fruits you can eat by biting into or cutting them, lemons need to have something to take away from their tartness, unless you just squeeze them into your water – which is great, but doesn’t give you full lemon flavor. That’s why we created wonderful and refreshing Wonder Lemon, which is carefully crafted with all-natural ingredients and the amazing health benefits and full flavor of real lemons.”

    Refreshing with a twist, WONDER LEMON juice is available in three refreshing flavors: Lemon Ginger, Lemon Mint, and Lemon Basil Jalapeño. By pairing the natural tart flavor of lemons with other fruits, like apples, WONDER LEMON juices are sweet and refreshing, with no added sugar, artificial flavors, or artificial coloring. WONDER LEMON offers consumers a better-for-you beverage with fantastic taste and flavor, just without all the additives found in many other juices on the market.

    WONDER LEMON’s outstanding packaging and clean label highlight the benefits of: 100% cold-pressed juice, GMO-free, USDA organic, kosher, all-natural, fair trade ingredients, no additives or preservatives, no artificial colors or flavors, no added sugars, and not from concentrate. WONDER LEMON will fly off shelves into consumers’ hands faster than you can say squeeze.

    Lemons have long been a popular fruit for the health-aware consumer. They naturally have an abundance of vitamin C, calcium, and potassium that provide a boost to the body and aid in digestion and clear skin.

    The three lemon blend flavors have only five to six ingredients each. The Lemon Ginger is made with lemon juice, apple juice, lime juice, mango puree, passion fruit puree, and ginger; the Lemon Mint is made with lemon juice, apple juice, pineapple juice, lime puree, and mint; and the Lemon Basil Jalapeño has lemon juice, apple juice, lime juice, jalapeño, and basil.

    WONDER LEMON joins WONDER MELON in the Kayco cold-pressed juice line, which delivers all hydrating properties of everybody’s favorite summertime treat, watermelon, along with its natural bounty of antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins. Devotees of these fashionable cold-pressed beverages swear by their delicious, hydrating goodness. Cold-pressed juice fans enjoy these juices either over ice, straight from the grab-and-go bottle, or in cocktails and mocktails. WONDER MELON offers two delightful varieties: Cool Watermelon Cucumber Basil and Watermelon Lemon Cayenne.

    Thanksgiving Leftovers Are Better Than Ever With Low-Carb Folios Cheese Wraps®

    After a delicious Thanksgiving dinner with family and friends, create low-carb or gluten-free turkey leftovers with Folios Cheese Wraps®. With zero gluten or grain and only 1 gram of carbs each, Folios Cheese Wraps® are the tastiest way to enjoy holiday leftovers without compromising your dietary goals or triggering your allergies or intolerances.

    Folios Cheese Wraps®, the original cheese wraps on the market, are lightly baked sheets of 100% cheese, available in Cheddar, Jarlsberg, Parmesan, and new Mozzarella. A hugely popular choice for keto dieters and people with celiac disease, they’re a unique and versatile staple ingredient to make healthy dishes that are friendly to your family’s diverse needs and tastes.

    The best Thanksgiving dinners are big ones, sometimes leaving us lots of leftovers. Don’t let those leftovers go to waste; enjoy them with one of our two delicious Thanksgiving Leftover recipes! First, we’ve all enjoyed a good Thanksgiving leftover sandwich, but you’ve never had one like this! Crisped-up Folios Cheese Wraps® in place of bread or buns will make this a knockout lunch, almost better than when the ingredients were fresh! Try it out:

    Thanksgiving Leftover Sandwich

    Ingredients:

    • 2 Folios Cheese Wraps® Mozzarella, depending on size preference
    • Fresh spinach
    • Leftover turkey, ham, or other protein
    • Leftover sides, like mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, and cranberry sauce

    Directions:

    1. Cut two Folios Cheese Wrap® into even round or square pieces to desired sandwich size.
    2. Microwave Folios Cheese Wrap® on a microwave-safe plate for 60-90 seconds. Allow cooling until crisp.
    3. (If heating turkey or ham) Slice meat into thin slices. Place in a shallow, microwave-safe dish with sides to trap the steam, and drizzle with stock or chicken broth. Cover with a paper towel and microwave for 2-5 minutes until heated through, flipping every 30 seconds.
    4. (If heating mashed potatoes, leave out for fewer carbs) In a microwave-safe bowl, add potatoes and stir in butter, milk, or broth a little bit at a time until you reach a smooth consistency—cover and microwave for 2 minutes, stirring halfway through.
    5. On top of one crisped Folios Cheese Wrap®, pile spinach, meat, and sides. Drizzle with gravy and cold cranberry sauce, and top with second-crisped Folios Cheese Wrap®.

    Second, if you’re looking for an exciting new way to enjoy your leftovers this year, you’ll love this wrap, bringing together all those unique flavors in a cheesy, handheld package:

    • *Substitute any of the above for your Thanksgiving sides and entrée

    Directions:

    1. Set out Folios Cheese Wrap® while completing other steps, about 5 minutes.
    2. (If heating turkey or ham) Slice meat into thin slices. Place in a shallow, microwave-safe dish with sides to trap the steam, and drizzle with stock or chicken broth. Cover with a paper towel and microwave for 2-5 minutes until heated through, flipping every 30 seconds.
    3. (If heating mashed potatoes, leave out if making a low-carb wrap) In a microwave-safe bowl, add potatoes and stir in butter, milk, or broth a little bit at a time until you reach a smooth consistency—cover and microwave for 2 minutes, stirring halfway through.
    4. In a microwave-safe dish, add green beans with a splash of water. Cover and microwave for 2-3 minutes. Repeat as necessary.
    5. Layer heated ingredients on Folios Cheese Wrap®. Top with cold cranberry sauce, roll Folios Cheese Wrap®, and enjoy!
