While everyone knows that eating a big bowl of greens is beneficial, all those leafy vegetables are even more enjoyable with a kick of flavor. The new Tajin and Fresh Gourtmet seasoned croutons and salad toppings highlight that signature chile lime flavor, and they bring another layer of flavor enjoyment to every bite.
Tajin has infused its chile lime spice into all types of food. While a sprinkle of the signature seasoning amplifies the heat in many recipes, people find all types of creative ways to use it. From rimming a glass on a mangonada to boosting the flavor on popcorn, that spice is used almost as frequently as salt and pepper.
Tajin and Fresh Gourmet’s Flavorful Partnership.
Bringing together two food powerhouses, Fresh Gourmet and Tajin launched a new line of Chile Lime Croutons, Pepitas and Masa Strips. Each food item captures the essence of the classic seasoning while keeping the crunch.
The croutons are sold in a 4 oz bag. The pepitas and masa strips come in a 3.5 oz bag. While Tajin is flavorful, it is not intensely spicy. Generally, these garnishes are a level one out of four spice.
Fresh Gourmet
Available in the fresh produce section, the new Tajin and Fresh Gourmet products can be found at various grocery stores nationwide. While prices can vary, the croutons have a suggested retail price of $2.99.
While Fresh Gourmet hopes that cooks will discover new ways to enhance some of their favorite recipes and possibly inspire new creative food ideas, the new product is not necessarily meant to overshadow the fresh produce. The two products can find flavor harmony.
As Haydee Fernández, Director of Alliances, Tajín USA International said, “At Tajín, we’ve always believed in the magic our seasoning brings – elevating simple fruits and vegetables into something extraordinary. This partnership with Fresh Gourmet let us share that bold, crave-worthy flavor, in new ways, making it easier for people to add a spark of joy in their everyday healthy meals.
Creative Ways to Use the New Tajin and Fresh Gourmet Toppings.
While a handful of croutons add crunch to a salad and a sprinkling of pepitas brings depth to a soup, cooks can find new, creative ways to showcase the chile lime flavor enhanced toppings. While that kick of approachable Tajin spice can highlight a tomato’s sweetness or add depth to a bright cucumber, the Fresh Gourmet toppings can be transformed completely.
For example, one Instagram user showcased how to turn these croutons into a bright, zesty crumb. After breaking up the Tajin croutons, she combined them with sauteed ginger and sesame seeds. The crumbs can be sprinkled on salads, crudité and a variety of other dishes.
This concept is one of many ideas that showcase the versatility of the new Fresh Gourmet and Tajin items. It is time to get into the kitchen and start experimenting.
