Highly Nutritious & Insanely Delicious™ Crunchy Tomato Chips

Highly Nutritious & Insanely Delicious™ Crunchy Tomato Chips from Just Pure Foods are now available on Amazon in an 8-pack for $19.99, shipped in Recycled Packaging. Made with real tomatoes, these 100% Dehydrated, Gluten-Free, Vegan, Nut-Free, Farm Fresh, Allergen-Free, Calorie Conscious, Keto Friendly and Non-GMO snacks are neither baked nor fried. Instead, they are low-temperature dried to keep enzymes and nutrients intact. Besides ordering online, the Healthy Tomato Chips are available in California at Ralphs and Bristol Farms.

“At Just Pure Foods we believe in creating melt-in-your-mouth Healthy Tomato Chips made with vine-ripened tomatoes,” explains Dr. Scott Feldman, Founder of Just Pure Foods. “Fresh and delicious, try our incredibly cheesy, spicy, and smoky flavors. Stay tuned for more guilt-free, delicious, and nutritious snacks.”

Just Pure Food’s strategic partner, Master’s Touch Brands, has been growing top-quality produce at Nase Farms in Vizcaino Baja, California, for more than 30 years. These healthy alternative snacks are made using sustainable farming practices by upcycling tomatoes that would have been plowed under because they are not the right size, shape or have ripened too early.

Besides being tasty, tomatoes contain tons of important nutrients and anti-inflammatory compounds. They’re rich in lycopene, an antioxidant compound thought to have anti-cancer properties, and rich in potassium, which can help reduce blood pressure and stroke risk while stimulating neural activity and boosting metabolism.

Try all three flavors:

Spicy Jalapeño Tomato Chips

A tasteful combination of Jalapeño, Onion, and Chickpea. A mouth-watering, unique flavor for daring palates! Just 50 calories per serving.

Cheesy Tomato Chips

Make your Irish Coffee with Volcanica Coffee!

We’re too late for Saint Patrick’s Day this year, but it’s never too late to enjoy an Irish Coffee! So try out these tasty recipes.

VOLCANICA COFFEE’S IRISH ESPRESSO MARTINI RECIPE

1.5 oz of Irish Whiskey
½ oz of coffee liqueur
½ oz of Bailey’s Irish Cream
2 oz of cooled espresso using Volcanica Coffee’s Café Cubano Miami Espresso Blend

Instructions:

  1. In a shaker glass, pour in your ingredients. Fill with ice and shake until shaker is frosty.
  2. Strain into martini glass.

VOLCANICA COFFEE’S IRISH COFFEE RECIPE

1½ to 2 oz (45 to 60ml) Irish whiskey, to taste
4 oz (120ml) fresh-brewed Dark Roast Costa Rica Nespresso Coffee Pods
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 oz (60ml) heavy cream, very cold
Unsweetened cocoa powder, for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Fill the cups with hot water to warm them up.
  2. Whip the cold cream until thick, but not stiff; it should still be able to run off of a spoon. Set aside. Tip: The key to success for whipped cream is to keep it very cold, so put your whisk and a stainless steel bowl in the freezer for 10 minutes before.
  3. Pour the warm water out of the coffee mugs. Fill ¾ full with coffee, add the brown sugar and stir well until dissolved. Add a few drops of coffee into the whipped cream and stir to combine.
  4. Add the whiskey into coffee and stir to combine.
  5. Hold a spoon upside down over the coffee, the tip touching the glass edge and the surface of coffee. Gently pour the cream over the back of the spoon, allowing it to gently pool on top of the coffee; filling to the top of the mug. Do not stir. You should obtain a lovely layering that looks like a pint of Guiness!
  6. Using a stenciled shamrock, sprinkle cocoa powder over the cream to make a beautiful drawing.

Fabrizia Spirits Establishes Lemon Grove in Italy

Fabrizia Spirits, the leading limoncello producer in the United States, announces the establishment of their own lemon grove in Italy.

“We are proud to announce that with the help of our lemon agricultural partner, Gruppo Villari, we have established our own lemon grove in Sicily! Considering our humble beginnings, peeling lemons in the garage of our parent’s home, this is a monumental achievement for the company. These lemons are grown in a perfect microclimate in south eastern Sicily near Europe’s largest active volcano, Mt. Etna. The rich volcanic soil and warm winds from the Mediterranean Sea produce the most fragrant lemons in the world. We now control the fruit from orchard to bottle, and can ensure the highest quality finished product” said Phil Mastroianni, Co-Owner and Co-Founder, Fabrizia Spirits.

The lemons are hand picked, cleaned, and shipped directly to Fabrizia’s facility in New Hampshire. Every lemon is inspected upon arrival, washed again, and peeled by their Italian manufactured lemon peeling machine, nicknamed Giuseppe. The Zest is then infused in pure alcohol, which produces the bright yellow color found in their Limoncello. The remainder of the lemon is juiced to form the foundation of their canned cocktails.

“The ability to source the finest fruit from Italy to produce our Limoncello freshly in the United States, without adding artificial coloring, flavors or preservatives, puts our company in a unique position to provide the USA market with an authentically prepared outstanding limoncello” said Nick Mastroianni, Co-Owner and Co-Founder, Fabrizia Spirits.
