It has actually noticed a big difference in its inorganic arsenic levels with its rice by having its farmers switch to using less water and better soil quality. Investing in such areas has benefited its Long Grain, Japonica/Round Grain, Basmati Grain, and Red Grain rice with inheriting as low as 40 PPB levels of inorganic arsenic.

CRSD: You are not changing your com- pany name, just adding this Brooklyn Bred brand under its banner, correct? DM: Yes, that is correct. Damascus Bakeries is the parent brand, while Brooklyn Bred is the young, hipster child. We are one big family, and expect in time that the market will come to know us as both. CRSD: What makes your pizza crusts different from others? DM: The bite. The texture. The flavor. Our Traditional Crusts are formulated with specialty "00" pizza flour, which helps create a light and crispy bite. We also ferment our doughs extensively, which adds distinctive flavor, aroma and texture. Our Neapolitan Crusts are thinner, and even crispier, ideal for the appetizer, the spa menu or the bread basket. CRSD: Are you feeling that the economy has been tightening, and do you feel that this will challenge the growth of higher costing, value added breads and prod- ucts? DM: Our customers need to provide offerings and solutions for their cus- tomers, the consumer, who in recent years have become much more discern- ing and demanding with regards to culi- nary offerings. A tighter wallet may change some lifestyle choices but we do not feel that the consumer's appetite, or desire for wholesome and delicious offer- ings, will be impacted. CRSD: Your Brooklyn Bred Bistro Buns were mentioned on an airline menu. Congratulations, that seems exciting. Are your Bistro Buns growing in popularity? Damascus Bakeries (Cont'd. from p. 1) DM: Thanks, and yes, United Airlines was gracious to mention our name as a partner for a Gouda Burger they are now selling. Our square-shaped Bistro Buns have quickly become a partner to some of America's newest platters, both up in the air and down on the ground. We offer our Buns in Country Potato, Olive Oil & Sea Salt and Sprouted Grains with Purple Corn. We can cus- tomize them – size, shape and thickness – so our customers can provide their customers with exciting breakfast, lunch and dinner offerings, as well as the all-day, all-night pub burger. CRSD: What's next for the Brooklyn Bred line? DM: More delicious and authentic Bistro Flatbreads, customized for today's mar- ket and needs. By next year we expect to launch a sandwich-sized line of Focaccia di Recco, which is known in the Ligurian section of Italy as the 'authentic' Focaccia bread. We also plan to introduce a line of savory-topped flatbreads that will appetize the market. CRSD: If your parents and grandparents were still with us, what do you think they would say about the growing success of your company in the past years? DM: 'Don't let it go to our heads! Let the success go to our customers, and our employees.' CRSD: Anything thing else they may add? DM: That no matter what you do with your life, no matter where you may go in your life, there's no BRED like home!

I was taken by surprise because I was in extremely good shape, training daily at an intense level. I thought I was strong as ever. This experience prompted me to begin researching these ingredients. I dis- covered every energy drink I could find was utilizing taurine, guarana, niacin and/or yohimbe. Each of these ingredi- ents provide a physiological energy boost, especially when combined with caffeine. In fact, the blend of these ingre- dients have in many cases been linked to an overdose type reaction such as jitters, heart palpitations or even cardiac arrest. Now knowing energy drinks weren't the answer to my need to energize long days and need for focus, I began researching ingredients and supplements that would stimulate me mentally rather than physically. I eventually stumbled on Reishi mushroom and fell in love with it immediately because it made me feel amazing, without the overdose feeling. I started sharing it with my family and friends who all had the same result. Then everyone was telling me to figure out how to make it into an energy drink. The rest is history! CRSD: What are the health benefits of the ingredients in Unique Energy Drink? CC: The active ingredients are Reishi mushroom, green tea and B-vitamins. Unique Energy Drink (Cont'd. from p. 1) Reishi mushroom has been utilized for thousands of years in Asia. Green tea is also thought to have health benefits, and B vitamins aid in converting food to fuel, energy, memory and concentra- tion. CRSD: The Unique logo has a story. What does it mean? CC: Uniqu's logo represents who we are. Unicorn: 'Only one,' full of life and ener- gy. Dragon: power and strength. Seahorse: kind and faithful to its purpose. The combination of these creatures rep- resents a unique, energetic, powerful and loyal brand. CRSD: How is Unique working to change expectations in the energy drink industry? CC: We've created the first health-con- scious energy beverage. Unique is not only in the business of being better, but on a mission to change what the world understands an energy beverage is sup- posed to be. CRSD: What is next for Unique? CC: Grow, grow, grow! Unique's plan is to be a household brand within five years. For more information, go to www.uniqueenergy.com or call 818.280.6327. range. Visual codes are used to distin- guish nozzle types.
