IRVING, Texas, Dec. 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The most wonderful time of the year is also the busiest. As holiday shoppers work up appetites before, during, and after shopping trips, restaurants are fueling the excursions with everything from seasonal menus to reward programs. At Shawarma Press locations, guests can dine-in and choose from delicious wraps, soups, salads, and pastries, or opt for takeout orders on the app or online. CEO and co-founder Sawsan Abublan confirmed that not only is December the highest volume month for the franchise, but Christmas Eve and Christmas Day always attract families who would rather skip the kitchen prep and focus on spending more time together.

Key Points: 
  • "And for the Shawarma Press family the holidays mean more than just serving menu items to our beloved customers.
  • When Shawarma Press teams are not busy serving customers, they will be volunteering and giving back to local community organizations during the holiday season."
  • Since Shawarma Press was founded in 2017, the company has donated more than 20,000 shawarmas to local homeless shelters and nonprofit organizations.
  • Dr. Sabri added that he prepares for the Marathon using a variety of items from the Shawarma Press menu.

ERIE, Colo. , Oct. 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A new food modeling substitution study published in Current Developments In Nutrition1 shows how 98% of adult Americans could eat a more Mediterranean-Style Diet by making just three recipe swaps in their diet that includes honey paired with olive oil on leafy greens with fruit, on whole grains and on fish2.

Key Points: 
  • Although interest in the Mediterranean diet is high, study results showed that adherence to MSDP remains low among Americans.
  • These food substitutions were ranked to select the top ones with the highest potential to increase the Mediterranean diet score.
  • Study results showed that MSDP scores improved with these three recipes, even with the addition of a small amount of honey.
  • Three simple Mediterranean-inspired recipes containing honey can help make food substitutions palatable while still helping Americans improve their diet.
