Food Equipment News Friday, February 10, 2017 3 8 CHEF: THE NEW WHOLE SLOW JUICER FROM KUVINGS The new Whole Slow Juicer CHEF from industry leader Kuvings is the world's first vertical masticating juicer for com- mercial use. It is the first juicer of its kind that allows the operator to juice whole fruits and vegetables with minimal prep and allows continuous operation for 24 hours. The Kuvings Whole Slow Juicer is preferred by juicing industry experts because it reduces prep time by juicing whole fruits and vegetables and extracts more nutrients than conventional juicers. The reduction of chopping produce before juicing results in more valuable enzymes in the juice and lessens oxida- tion. The Whole Slow Juicer CHEF brings innovation to the commercial con- sumer with its high-powered 200 watt, low speed motor. It's the world's strongest brushless motor that minimizes friction and noise, for cool, quiet and sta- ble operation. The CHEF can extract juice from hard and soft fruits, leafy greens and nuts. Its large capacity bowl handles many batches of juice and has a conven- ient smart cap to prevent drips. The smart cap also enables mixed bever- ages and allows for quick cleaning between different juice recipes. Its large 3.5-inch feeding tube allows the opera- tor to crush and squeeze whole fruits and vegetables with little or no prep, resulting in fresh juice in seconds. CHEF com- mercial juicer can produce up to 10 gallons of cold-pressed juice per hour. Whole Slow Juicer CHEF can make delicious smoothies and healthy home- made ice creams with the included blank strainer and smoothie strainer. Simply assemble the smoothie strainer for rich, nutritious smoothies made from fresh fruits or vegetables. Use the blank strain- er for transforming frozen fruits into instant sorbet or soft serve frozen treats. The Whole Slow Juicer CHEF is ideal for juice bars, restaurants, health food stores, retail outlets and juic- ing enthusiasts. Its modern design and chrome finish is a welcome addition in any envi- ronment. It features a dual safety system that ensures proper assembly and air ventilation to prevent the juicer from overloading. All parts are removable for easy clean up with the included cleaning tools.

GARDEIN: CREATING MEAT-FREE OPTIONS FOR YOUR CHANGING MENU Gardein is an award-winning plant protein brand offering a variety of delicious, con- venient and versatile foods. It makes an extensive line of meatless products, including chick'n, beefless, fishless, burg- ers and gluten-free options that offer the taste, texture and nutrition of meat with no cholesterol and less fat and calories. "Our goal is to create healthier ver- sions of the foods people love to eat that are also better for our environment. In order to be successful in this mission, the products have to taste great. I am proud that Gardein continues to grow the meat- free category by offering a wide variety of delicious foods that encourage more and more people to eat plant protein," explains Yves Potvin, Founder of Gardein. Today's lifestyle consumer is look- ing for foods that taste good, are good for you and good for the planet. Although vegetarians and vegans constitute a small portion of the population, many con- sumers are choosing to reduce their daily meat intake due to concerns for health and sustainability. Many studies have shown that making a shift to a more plant-based diet can offer significant health benefits, including lowering the risk of heart disease, inflammatory dis- eases and type 2 diabetes. The benefits to the envi- ronment are also signifi- cant. Did you know that you save more water by not eating a pound of beef than you would by not showering for six months? The need and demand for plant pro- tein options is growing. Thirty-six per- cent of Americans eat meat alternatives and 30 percent of Millennials consume meat alternatives every day. One in two patrons would like restaurants to offer a wider range of vegetarian/vegan entrees and 57 percent of all restaurant goers 'sometimes,' 'often' or 'always' order a vegetarian item when dining out. Gardein, made from a savory blend of non-GMO soy, wheat, ancient grains and veggies contains no cholesterol or trans fat and is a good source of protein. It is vegan certified, kosher certified and readily accepts a vari- ety of sauces. With over 15 foodservice products, including chick'n strips, meat- less meatballs, breakfast sausage, bread- ed scallopini, fishless filets and beefless strips, Gardein continues to innovate and create delicious food for everyday meals. Gardein has recently received numerous awards, including 2014 Better Homes & Gardens' Best New Product Award, 2014 FABI Award and NACUFS IICE for the fishless filets. Gardein is available in over 23,000 retail locations as well as over 5,000 restaurants and 175 colleges and universities across North America. Learn more at www.gardein.com. GO GREEN BY EXAMPLE WITH FIREFLY FUEL Firefly Fuel offers a wide variety of eco- friendly refillable oil lamps, oil candles and simple, refillable fuel cells designed for the hospitality industry. These prod- ucts are a direct replacement for the dis- posable fuel cells many restaurants use in their candle holders, which add signifi- cantly to our burden of trash ending up in local landfills. "This is an overlooked and now very obvious way to save money and go green for the hospitality industry. When you start seeing national hospitality groups embracing refillable fuel cells instead of disposables, like The Charlie Palmer Group, it's quite exciting to be part of the movement," said Phil Tyson, Chief Executive Officer of Firefly Fuel. Going "green" now saves hard cash by using refillable oil candles and fuel cells that use longer-lasting and non- toxic lamp oil. Phil Tyson suggests using the Online Restaurant Savings Calculator to determine actual savings. He also noted that typically a restaurant will dis- pose of the fuel cell when it runs low while there is still useable fuel, further adding to the problem. Firefly Fuel's initial passion was to demystify and bring high-quality, well- tested fuels to the marketplace, which it has successfully done with its signature proprietary fuels for oil lamps, lanterns, candles and tiki torches. It determined a sturdy and durable refill- able fuel cell was sorely needed for the hospitality industry; thus, the spark for the Firefly line of refillable fuel cells, oil lamps and candles sup- porting hospitality sus- tainability. The fuel cells are easy to refill from a simple refill bottle, which makes the daily effort of setup by wait staff a snap. No longer will fuel be wasted. Every drop will be used. The refillable fuel cells are properly sized to work with most common candle holders. In addition, Firefly Fuel has an entire selection of refillable oil lamps in one- or two-piece, hand-blown designs using borosilicate glass for strength and durability. Firefly Fuel serves the bulk needs of resellers, distributors, pur- veyors and hospitality groups for refillable oil candles and fuel both domestically and interna- tionally. It also offers pri- vate labeling on orders of 1,000 gallons or more. Product is available from quart sizes to 330-gallon totes. About Firefly Fuel, Inc. Firefly Fuel offers worldwide distribu- tion of proprietary fuels, eco-friendly refillable oil candles, lamps and lanterns, private labeling options, small and large quantities, consistent product availability and same-day drop shipping for most orders.
