WHAT’S NEW DRESSING FOR ‘VIBRANT’ VERSATILITY Birch & Waite has introduced Golden Goddess Dressing. The manufacturer promotes the dressing as a “vibrant, flavoursome, delicious fusion” of tahini and turmeric, “expertly crafted” with “zesty” lemon, garlic and herbs. It adds that the uses of the “versatile” product can include drizzling it over a mixed salad, and as a sauce for stirring through roasted vegetables and chicken, beef, fish or tofu. The Golden Goddess Dressing is claimed to be vegan and gluten free with no artificial ingredients or added preservatives. Retailing for $5, the 250ml product is currently available nationally in Woolworths, next to the fresh salads. ‘GAME LIFTING’ DRINKS FROM MAXIMUS Maximus has introduced two new sports drinks targeted at gamers. According to the brand, the gaming industry is taking the world by storm, which has presented a “great opportunity” to create two new flavours to help gamers of all types get their “game on”. The new Maximus range is available in Blackcurrant and Lime variants. Both are claimed to be “packed” with magnesium and B vitamins to reduce tiredness and fatigue. They are also said to contain 18 per cent less sugar than the original Maximus sports drink.
