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.

These PANTRY STAPLES Are Versatile Musts For STAY-AT-HOME COMFORT
If you are looking for pantry staples that will satisfy just about the every family member, the Mighty Sesame Co. and Wissotzky Tea come to the rescue. Both brands have stepped up to the “ho-hum” plate with shelf-stable products you can use to add variety and versatility to your daily routine.
Consider today’s tahini trend. At a time when hummus is the new “it” food – seriously, who could have predicted a Snickerdoodle hummus revolution? – consumers are excited about tahini, the smooth sesame paste that’s so essential to traditional Middle Eastern hummus.
The healthy-minded people at Mighty Sesame Co. know a thing or two about tahini. In a recent taste test of 18 tahini brands on the market, no less an authority than Epicurious anointed Mighty Sesame Tahini The Best Tahini You Can Buy. They praised the clean, delicious taste and smooth texture that make it “a great tahini to use for anything and everything,” and applauded the no-stir convenience of the squeeze bottle.
So, think of Mighty Sesame Tahini as a game-changer for sandwiches, marinades, dips, baked goods, desserts, salads, and even cocktails. Use it in soups or drizzle it over meat and fish. Why not start a hummus revolution of your own? Just let your imagination take the reins. (MSRP $_5.99_per 10.9 oz. bottle.)
Vegan TAHINI WALNUT BROWNIES Recipe
SERVES: 8INGREDIENTS:- 14 oz bittersweet chocolate, melted
- ½ cup tahini
- 1 ½ cups AP flour
- 1 t baking powder
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/3 cup orange juice
- 1/3 cup rum
- ½ cup walnuts, toasted and chopped
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- In a bowl, mix chocolate, tahini, orange juice, rum ad powdered sugar. Incorporate all ingredients well.
- Sift in flour, adding slowly. When finished add baking powder. Mix well but do not over mix.
- Pour into a greased 8” baking pan. Bake for 16 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when brownies are pierced.
- Cool, cut and serve.
- Enjoy!
Mighty Sesame has also made a splash for snackers with three varieties of all-natural tahini bars – Pistachio, Cocoa Nibs, and Vanilla – each at only 100 calories per bar. Like their squeezable cousins, these addictive grab-and-go treats promise a premium-quality product that is gluten- and dairy-free, vegan, kosher, halal, non-GMO, 100% guilt-free, and delicious. It all adds up to a healthy and exciting change of pace for the back-to-school days ahead. (MSRP: $3.99 per box of 6 individually wrapped 0.63 oz. bars.)
Tea is an elixir for the blues and good times alike. Nothing says ‘cozy’ like a good cup of hot tea. And nothing says ‘summer’ like a tall glass of sweet tea with plenty of ice. Wissotzky Tea Company has dozens of varieties of teas to satisfy any mood on every occasion.
Its Artisan Spiced Tea collection artfully pairs hand-selected premium black tea leaves with market spices, herbs, and other natural ingredients. Serve Salted Caramel Chai, Ginger and Turmeric,Spiced Nana Mint, Pumpkin Spiced Chai – or any of Wissotzky’s premium teas and infusions – hot or iced. Now you can indulge in a trip around the world without leaving home. (MSRP $3.99 Nana Mint; $4.99 Chai)

Innovative Newcomers: From Gooey, Gluten-Free Pizza and Passover “Pringles” to Cold Brew Earl Grey Macaroons
When it comes to Passover, most rituals will never change – but that doesn’t mean your meals have to be the same ol’-same ol’. Passover starts at sundown on Wednesday, April 8, 2020. That gives you just a few weeks to figure out how to take a tradition that’s been around for thousands of years and make it feel fresh.
KAYCO (www.kayco.com) and Manischewitz, two of the most trusted names in kosher food, are here to help. So is Kosher.com (www.Kosher.com), the premier website for all things kosher.

Then there’s dairy-free Gefen Almond Milk, perfect with gluten–free Gefen Granola; “clean” non-GMO snacks like Beet Chips and Carrot Chips; and vegan 5-ingredient Freedom Bars for wholesome snacking.
You can even enjoy a sandwich during Passover this year thanks to rolls from No Way! It’s Gluten Free. The Tuscanini brand is introducing 4 varieties of all-natural sparkling seltzers with zero calories, bottled at the source and imported from Italy. And Heaven & Earth’s unique new veggie juice blends come in single-serve packs for nutritious refreshment on the go.
Admittedly, not all food trends are quite so virtuous. Go ahead and indulge in new finds like Manischewitz Cold Brew Macaroons in two varieties, Coffee and Earl Grey (whaaaat?!), made from real tea and coffee.
Of course, some classics are perfect the way they are. This year Manischewitz reboots the packaging for everyone’s favorite Horseradish, now in adorable mason jars you can put straight on the Seder table. They are also introducing Handmade Shmura Matzo with a light, delicate texture – perfect for the traditional Seder.

Peperonata
Recipe By Gabe Garcia
A simple rustic Italian sauce with the main ingredient being bell peppers will go great with any type of fish but will shine with fried fish. It can be served hot or cold.
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
4 garlic cloves, smashed
3 bay leaves
2 tablespoons Tuscanini Tomato Paste
1 and 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
6 bell peppers, julienned
1 cup Baron Herzog Chenin Blanc or other dry white wine
1 cup water
1/4 cup basil chiffonade
2 tablespoons Tuscanini Balsamic Vinegar
-
Pour olive oil into a large pot and place it over medium flame. Once the oil begins to smoke add onion, garlic, and bay leaves. Cook until the onions are translucent.
-
Next add tomato paste, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the tomato paste has darkened, about five minutes. Add the peppers continue cooking until they have softened, about another 10 minutes.
-
Add wine and water. Turn up the heat and bring to a boil. Cover the pot, reduce the heat to a medium low and simmer for 20 minutes. This will give the peppers time to break down further.
-
Uncover the pot and turn the heat back up and stir until most of the liquid has evaporated. To finish, take off the heat and remove the bay leaves. Stir in basil, balsamic vinegar, and season with salt and pepper.
