One of the hardest task mothers have is to convince their kids to eat vegetables as part of their school lunch or weekday dinner. I would like to introduce you a product that may help moms with this mission and that is available at grocery stores shelves nationwide: Tajin®.
Tajin® is a Mexican seasoning that goes great with fruits, vegetables and more. Based on a Mexican old age tradition of seasoning fruits and vegetables with mild chili peppers, lime and salt, Tajin® it’s a very versatile seasoning that consumers can use in different ways to enhance the flavor of fruits, vegetables, drinks or any food. Basically, it’s like Cinco de Mayo in a bottle.
Also, I’m sharing a recipe for Tajin® Corn Salad, which is a great for an afternoon snack or side dish. http://www.tajin.com/receta/index/1/8/8?LNG=1
Add Tajin® to your spice cabinet, family and friends will love it!
