Product Snapshot: In Judaism, in addition to festive holiday meals, certain symbolic foods are eaten to express wishes and prayers for a good year. For example, dipping apples in honey and honey on challah for sweetness. Other foods with symbolic meaning are dates, almonds, and pomegranates. Kayco, America’s largest source for on trend, gourmet-forward kosher products, has debuted two items that re-invent how we celebrate with those sweet treats during the holiday and every day.

Made from with Valencia almonds and California dates, Heaven & Earth debuts New Almond Butter Date Bites sure to move “heaven and earth.” These on-trend treats are made with only clean and simple ingredients, are individually wrapped, and are Kosher.
