Vita Sana Pairing
of the Month
|
Sweetly Crisp
Great for marinades, salads, or with chicken.
|
Pepper Jack Cheese
|
Pepper Jack is a derivative of Monterey Jack, the original "American" cheese. As the name suggests, the cheese is flavored with sweet peppers, rosemary, habañero chilies and garlic and spicy jalapeños for an extra kick.
This semi-soft, open textured cheese is spicy to taste yet leaves a delicate and buttery taste in the mouth. It is often eaten with quesadillas, crackers or on hamburgers. Pepper jack can also go well with melons, grapes, pickled vegetables, and olives.

Bluapple
Prolongs Produce Freshness
If you like fresh fruits and vegetables but hate when they go bad quickly, then you will love Bluapple! The Merry Peddler has Bluapple in 2 packs, refill kits and combo packs!
Ethylene gas is given off naturally by fruits and vegetables as a signaling mechanism in order to coordinate uniform ripening. However, once concentrated in your refrigerator or other storage areas, the presence of ethylene gas continues to speed up ripening and hasten spoilage.
The Bluapple is designed to provide effective ethylene gas absorption for three months in a typical home refrigerator produce bin or storage container. The active ingredient does not "wear out", but continues to absorb ethylene until it has reached its capacity.

E-Cloth
Perfect Cleaning with Just Water
An e-cloth is not just another microfiber cloth. Advanced fiber technology and superior chemistry are used in the manufacturing of these cloths to produce amazing results. Surfaces are cleaned so effectively that there is nowhere left for bacteria to grow. Surfaces are left polished and totally smear and lint free. E-cloths rapidly absorb 7 times their weight in water.
In addition, scientific research carried out by world renowned Silliker Group, has
proven that e-cloths also remove over 99% of bacteria

Sweet Spanish Paprika
It is a popular ingredient in many Mediterranean recipes. Anyone from Spain swears by this paprika, and its flavor is essential for authentic Spanish cooking. The peppers are dried slowly over an oak burning fire for several weeks. The result is a sweet, cool, smoky flavor. Try it in crispy potatoes, fish dishes, spinach and chickpea stew or bean dishes. Excellent on grilled veggies or corn on the cob.
A great way to add a smoky flavor with no heat.

How to make the best latte
at home!
We know you love your iced drinks in the summer, but when the weather starts to crisp up, lattes start creeping in. It may not be the fastest or cheapest to stop by the coffee hut every morning, so we are going to teach you how to make the best latte right at home.
Instructions
Espresso/Coffee Latte:
- Start by making your coffee or espresso to your liking.
- Fill mug 2/3 full with coffee or espresso.
- In a separate mug or jar, fill with 1/3 cup of milk and heat in microwave for 30 seconds or until steaming.
- Pour half the steamed milk in your coffee or espresso
- Using a frother, froth the rest of the milk and add foam to top off your warmed latte.
Tea Latte:
- Start by measuring your tea, we recommend using twice as much tea as you would for a normal cup of tea. (Stronger tea works better for lattes.)
- Steep your tea with hot water, as directed for the tea you are using.
- While your tea is steeping, in a separate mug or jar, fill with 1/3 cup of milk and heat in microwave for 30 seconds or until steaming.
- Fill a mug with 2/3 full with steeped tea and add half of the frothed milk to fill mug.
- Using a frother, froth the rest of the milk and add foam to top your warmed latte.
* add flavoring or sugar before adding the foam. Try it with honey!
What is a frother?
With the rise in popularity of various
coffee drinks
, such as
cappuccino
s, many people want to make these beverages at home. One tool often used in making such a drink is a milk frother. Many coffee beverages have a nice foamy topping of frothed milk, which is created by aerating warmed milk and combining it with the coffee. Common models include hand-pump varieties, motorized
whisks
, and small devices that can warm and froth the milk simultaneously.
Crave has several different frothers that work great, like this motorized whisk frother.
Ready at all times to froth milk for beverages, the Coffee Primo Latte Frother is a handheld, battery-operated milk frother with a convenient chrome storage stand. This convenient milk frother produces rich, creamy foam in seconds to help create delectable lattes, cappuccinos and mochas. Simply immerse the frothing stem down into milk, press the soft-touch button, and move the frothing unit up and down for consistent, thorough blending.
