Thanks New York Times @nytfood @nytimes for stopping by @sugarhillicecream and tasting (of ALL the flavors available) our Essiespice TamarindOH!® Flavor! (First Flavor on the cone; first one they picked too!) . ▫️ We honestly never thought our sauce will end up in an ice cream store but we're sooo very glad it did. Working on more batches for the store and so excited for the feedback from patrons who tried it. If you're ever in Harlem, NYC, stop by @sugarhillicecream on 184 Lenox Ave and check out this unique, one-of-a-kind, mouth-watering & decadent Flavor. #Essiespice #Growth #EssiespiceItUp #TamarindOH #AskForTheEssie (at Sugar Hill Creamery)

When reading Nutrition Information there are a number of things to look out for. First thing is the first ingredient. The law asks that the ingredient with the most mass in the product, be shown first. In a lot of these bouillons, cubes, seasonings, SALT is first. That's the first red flag, the side effects of too much salt is for another day (all 840mg of it) . ▫️ Secondly, how do ingredients like Monosodium Glutamate, Disodium Inosinate & TBHQ affect our bodies? . ▫️ Monosodium Glutamate is a flavor enhancer which most of these brands use. MSG is not allowed in foods for infants due to concern about its effects. They cause migraines, insomnia, depression, anxiety, high blood pressure, and arthritis. Side effects of Disodium Inosinate Flushed skin and burning sensations Numbness and tightness Sweating, swelling, Gastric discomfort Skin breakout (for those times you're not sure why those zits won't go away etc.) Effects of TBHQ used as a preservative in cubes but also a lot of packaged foods to keep it fresh. TBHQ can cause you to experience symptoms ranging from nausea to collapse. The FDA only allows 0.02g in food but 1 gram of TBHQ can be lethal. . Now the question is, do you know what you're eating? #Essiespice #EssieSpiceItUp #Health #Education #Ingredients
