It’s primarily about staying healthy and safe, and keeping your body functioning as optimally as it should. When we’re well-hydrated, we function better overall, especially when it comes to participating (or competing!) in athletics or spending time outdoors. Electrolytes play a major role in hydration. When dissolved in water, electrolytes put out an electrical charge that’s extremely beneficial to the human body, helping us to maintain essential fluid levels inside and outside of our cells. Electrolyte drinks pack a one-two punch, restoring both the water and electrolytes the body loses after physical […]

Concentrated Active Ingredients & Flavors (CAIF) is located in California but will open a second location in West Columbia in early June. The company produces natural ingredients to sell to companies in the food and pharmaceutical industries. CAIF decided to grow to the East Coast to cut down on shipping time. “South Carolina is a perfect location,” said Emily Harvin, human resources for the company. “You have Savannah and Charleston ports; you have the airports nearby, so it’s very easy to ship materials in and out of.” Harvin also said they chose to locate in […]

The founder and chief executive officer of Indianapolis-based True Essence Foods joins AgriNovus Indiana CEO Mitch Frazier on this week’s Ag+Bio+Science podcast to talk all things SoChatti Chocolate, his lingering curiosity driving innovation in food and the company’s approach to sustainability.

Still, it’s the pure quality of taste that has […]

[ad_1] MEXICO CITY — The eyes of Fabiana Marquez brightened after she took the first bite of a savory, crescent-like bread stuffed with ham and cheese. Memories flooded her mind. The Venezuelan immigrant hadn’t eaten a “cachito” in almost five years until she stumbled across a vendor outside her country’s embassy in Mexico. Marquez left her South American homeland in 2017 amid a social, political and humanitarian crisis that has now driven more than 6 million to migrate across the continent and beyond. She has worked as a nanny, housekeeper, waitress and at other jobs to make ends meet, mostly in outlying parts of Mexico. In the process, she severed […]

CHEERS TO CINCO DE CERVEZA WITH OUR BELLA-LICIOUS BEERGARITA COCKTAIL We’re right on the cusp of Cinco de Mayo, and folks will have to make an important decision: beer, or margarita… or perhaps both? Our Bella-licious Beergarita is just the thing. The tartness of lime mixes with the sassiness of tequila, and the smoothness of a lager or other lighter beer.

[ad_1] You know the feeling…you want something to eat, but you aren’t sure if you’re feeling burgers or tacos, breakfast, or even some Asian cuisine. You’re passing by restaurant after restaurant and you just can’t decide because you want a little of everything. Well, you’re in luck because Jack in the Box has something for everyone. Today we’ve decided to look at 10 of the greatest Jack in the Box menu items of all-time.

[ad_1] Fast food chains are not exactly known for having the highest quality food, but some businesses are trying to change that. In fact, many chains these days use top-tier ingredients that differentiate them from the Burger King’s of the world. So what does “high-quality” food mean? According to the Harvard School of Public Health, “High-quality foods include unrefined, minimally processed foods such as vegetables and fruits, whole grains, healthy fats and healthy sources of protein—the foods recommended in the Healthy Eating Plate.” Certain fast food chains pride themselves on simple ingredients—no artificial preservatives, colors, or flavors. And unlike the sketchy leftover burger patties in Wendy’s chili, there are no […]
