What are Just Add Water Mixes?

From beignets to hushpuppies, just add water mixes add value, efficiency, and flavor to your kitchen lineup. These mixes may be predesigned, or may be custom made to encompass a favorite recipe. Just add water mixes are exactly what they sound like — mixes that require little to no extra ingredients other than water! Pour, mix, cook, and you’re ready to offer up a delicious meal to your beloved customers. Some mixes are completely customizable, meaning you can add the ingredients needed for the current recipe and change it when needed. Other mixes are custom-made to take a recipe that originally required fifteen ingredients and turn it into a mix that speeds up your kitchen process and ensures consistency. At Gulf Coast Blenders, we do all of the work to meet your restaurant’s specific needs.

When recipes are quick and easy to follow, this gives you the opportunity to hire workers who may not have as much training.
