Happy National Sangria Day! The name #Sangria may come from the Spanish word sangre, which means "blood". This refers to the drink's ruby color when made with red wine. Others believe the word comes from the Sanskrit term sakkari, which means "sugared wine". Sangria has its roots in the Kingdom of León during the Middle Ages, where a precursor beverage called leonese lemonade was made with wine, oranges, lemons, sugar, and spices. Sangria became popular in the United States in the 1960s after being introduced at the 1964 World's Fair in New York City. Sangria made with white wine is called Sangria Blanca. Use fresh fruit in season for the best flavors. Once mixed, sangria should be chilled and the fruits allowed to marinate for a few hours or overnight. When making sangria, if you use 100% juice, you'll gain the maximum benefits, too. Eating the fruit versus all the sweet cakes and pies over the holidays will be healthier. Get the benefits of red wine, but drink in moderation and sangria will be worth all the celebration. 🍷 #NationalSangriaDay #DrinkOfTheDay #FoodOfTheDay Nobert Sales & Marketing Services #NobertSales #FoodSales #WeKnowFood #FoodConsultant #FoodDude #FoodService #Food #FoodServiceSolutions

National Hard Candy Day Most #HardCandies are 100% sugar with flavoring and colors added. To achieve a #HardCandy, confectioners boil a sugar syrup to 320 degrees Fahrenheit. Once the temperature is reached, the hot, pliable sugar is poured into molds or rolled and folded into shapes and left to cool. Once cool, solid sugar becomes hardened and brittle. Hard candies have been used for many purposes, including: * Medicine: Early hard candies like peppermints and lemon drops were prescribed to treat stomach ailments. Apothecaries also used sugar candy to make prescriptions more palatable. * Raising blood sugar: People with hypoglycemia carry hard candies to quickly raise their blood sugar levels. * Troop morale: During World War I and World War II, soldiers were given hard candies to boost morale and provide quick energy. 🍬🍭 #NationalHardCandyDay #FoodOfTheDay Nobert Sales & Marketing Services #NobertSales #Food #FoodSolutions #FoodService #FoodServiceSolutions #FoodSales #WeKnowFood #FoodConsultant #FoodDude

It’s National Bouillabaisse Day! The name comes from the Provençal Occitan words bolhabaissa, which means "to boil and simmer". The name also refers to the preparation method, where the ingredients are added gradually. #Bouillabaisse is made with bony Mediterranean fish, Provençal herbs and spices, and saffron. The broth is served separately from the fish and vegetables. The broth is boiled first, then the fish is added one by one, and the heat is lowered each time the broth boils. The dish known today as bouillabaisse was created by Marseille fishermen who wanted to make a meal when they returned to port. Rather than using the more expensive fish, they cooked the common rockfish and shellfish that they pulled up with their nets and lines, usually fish that were too bony to serve in restaurants, cooking them in a cauldron of sea water on a wood fire and seasoning them with garlic and fennel. Tomatoes were added to the recipe in the 17th century, after their introduction from America. 🥣 #NationalBouillabaisseDay #FoodOfTheDay Nobert Sales & Marketing Services #NobertSales #FoodConsultant #FoodService #FoodServiceSolutions #FoodSales #Food #FoodDude #WeKnowFood
