Norristown, PA, May 15, 2009 – VitaminSpiceTM debuts its innovative approach to nutritional seasoning May 16-19 at the National Restaurant Association Show in Chicago. Exhibiting at Booth #5830, VitaminSpice will be introducing several all-natural blends of herbs and spices with essential vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. The new line offers a convenient and flavor-driven way to boost the nutritional value of meals – and is a perfect fit for restaurants looking for healthy, but cost-effective menu options.
With Americans looking for simple solutions to improving health, sales have increased by 8% for nutritional supplements (IRI) and 11.7% for dried herbs and spices (Schwartz market research) over the last year. Sitting at the nexus of the $6.1 billion dollar nutritional supplements and the $2.9 billion dollar spice industries, VitaminSpice’s new spice blend line is the first of its kind to bring these two natural allies together.
Blended from premium herbs and spices and packed with essential vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants, VitaminSpice is all natural, 100% vegetarian and completely free of additives, preservatives, coloring, sugar, artificial sweeteners, calories and gluten. VitaminSpice can be sprinkled onto any food or beverage, and can be used at the end of the cooking process up to 200 °F. Available in a wide variety of traditional spices, including ground cinnamon, granulated garlic and ground black pepper, VitaminSpice’s new blends also come in several supplement formulas such as multivitamin, kids, joint and cardio.
VitaminSpice’s founder, Edward Bukstel, came up with the product idea while cooking with his daughters. At a recent regional US Food Service event for over 20 school districts, more than 70% of the participating school representatives expressed interest in VitaminSpice. Bukstel has been thrilled with the response to the product thus far, “As a father, I take some small satisfaction in knowing VItaminSpice could play a role in improving the nutritional value of meals not only in schools, but also in family restaurants and homes across the country.”
VItaminSpice has also caught the attention of health professionals. Dr. Robert Streisfeld, (“Doc Rob”), doctor of naturopathic medicine, gourmet natural foods chef, and author of A Healthier Ever After, sees great potential for VItaminSpice. According to Doc Rob, “With today’s busy lifestyles, people of all ages can benefit from a product like VitaminSpice that adds great flavor to the natural foods we’re already eating and increases nutritional intake at the same time.” For more information on Doc Rob, visit www.DocRob.com.
