Bringing Worldly Flavors to the Freezer Aisle this Holi Although consumers continue to expand their interest in foods with an ethnic distinc- tion, there is still a fair amount of education about the Indian food category that must occur to turn traditional eaters into more ad- venturous eaters in the interest of growing ethnic categories, overall. With Holi celebrated in India at the com- ing of spring, it's the perfect season to cele- brate everything that's light and bright, to bring awareness to this colorful festival – and to the foods that accompany the Indian culture. Tandoor Chef is doing just that by bring- ing today's ingredient- conscious eaters a look at the appetizers and entrées traditionally enjoyed in India. Restaurant-quality dishes like Malai Kofta, Lamb Vindaloo and Chicken Tikka Masala are intentionally crafted from old-world recipes, offering global indulgence paired with the convenience and undisputable ease typical of the frozen food category. This Holi, shoppers can brighten their menus with vibrant flavors and authentic recipes, all naturally preserved by a freezing process that eliminates the need for artificial preservatives. Tandoor Chef is a great way to clean up freezer aisles with appetizers, entrées, naan breads and pizzas to cater to the shopper of today – worldly, bold and adventurous.

Plantation Adds Classic to Molasses Line Plantation, bringing quality unsulphured molasses to America's commercial and res- idential kitchens, is adding Plantation Clas- sic Unsulphured Molasses to its fine line of molasses that brings an extraordinary sweetness to baked products, as a topping or added to sauces. Molasses (Unsul- phured) is made from mature sugar cane boiled down for its juice and bottled. The first boil (Classic) is sweet, smooth and ideal as a baking aid for cookies or cakes. It is also ideal and widely used for baked beans, ready to eat cereal, brush on mari- nade for a barbecue or as an ice cream top- ping. Plantation Classic is extra smooth, sweet and healthier than sugar, as it has a lower glycemic level and no bitter after- taste that is sometimes found in other mo- lasses brands. Plantation Classic joins Barbados Unsul- phured Molasses, Blackstrap Unsulphured Molasses and Organic Blackstrap Unsul- phured Molasses, and has been developed to meet the individual needs and preferences of consumers. This has led Plantation to be one of the fastest growing brands of molasses in the country. Natural and rich in nutrients, every day more people want Blackstrap Molasses. The public, in general, and the patrons of health food stores in particular, are showing an in- creasing interest in Blackstrap Molasses — both for it's distinctive flavor and its extraor- dinary nutritional profile. Taken from the third and final pressing of the sugar cane, Blackstrap Mo- lasses naturally retains the rich mineral content and subtle, nutty flavor that refined sugar lacks. That's why a single tablespoon of Plantation Blackstrap Mo- lasses provides no less than 20 percent of the US RDA for calcium and 12 percent for potassium. Today's average American is bombarded with artificial ingredients almost constantly, present in the vast majority of pre-packaged food we purchase. Most of us want to eat more healthily, but it's often hard to do so while maintaining a busy schedule with no extra time for special food preparation. But even if we can't always maintain an ideal diet, we can at least take advantage of simple changes in our day-to-day habits, replacing key processed items with readily available natural alternatives. By simply replacing the re- fined sugar in your coffee with Blackstrap M o - lasses, you provide your body with an entirely natu- ral, daily source of many key nutrients it needs. Moreover, Blackstrap Molasses offers the rare opportunity to make a health-conscious change without having to make any sacrifice in taste. In fact, many people prefer the rich, nutty sweetness of Blackstrap Molasses to the taste of refined sugar. Whether customers want Classic Molasses – for baking rich, sweet cookies, home style baked beans or delicious sauces – or one of the Blackstrap Molasses to replace sugar as a part of a healthier lifestyle, Plantation is the rich, delicious choice.
