Nakano Mango And Citrus Seasoned Rice Vinegars Giveaway!
Have you ever tried using vinegars in your cooking? When we attended an event recently with a local area Chef he said you need salt, acid, and fat to make a great dish. The Nakano vinegars fit right into the “acid” portion of his cooking trifecta!
Now they have added 2 more vinegars to help you make great meals:
NAKANO introduced two SWEET new ways to add flavor with none of the fat and less calories than other condiments —NAKANO Mango Seasoned Rice Vinegar and NAKANO Citrus Seasoned Rice Vinegar. The new seasoned rice vinegars are now available nationwide.
At only 20 calories per serving, NAKANO Mango and Citrus Seasoned Rice Vinegars add terrific tang without the calories and fat found in oils, dressings and mayo, and they are:
· Made with real, whole grain rice
· Gluten-free
· Low-calorie
· Contain no fat or preservatives
· 50 percent less sodium than the competition
NAKANO Seasoned Rice Vinegar’s Sweet Varieties are guilt-free alternatives, just twist, tip and splash on to enhance flavor.
Here’s a great recipe for Mini Apple Pies!
Light and Tangy Mini Baked Apple Pies uses the new NAKANO Citrus Seasoned Rice Vinegar. These are delicious mini pies topped with a crunchy granola-oatmeal crust. Plus they are in portion-controlled mason jars for easy serving.
