The &#8220;Spicy Loves Milk&#8221; campaign will combine California Cuisine with our state&#8217;s freshest ingredients, exotic spices, and showcase diverse food offerings found only in <span class=\"xn-location\">California<\/span>. &#8220;We are excited for taco lovers to try the varying flavor combinations which will be further enhanced by a milk pairing,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Steve James<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>The new generation of consumers in <span class=\"xn-location\">California<\/span> and the rest of the nation seek flavor innovations and a growing desire for spicy foods. We are experiencing what is called, &#8220;The Sriracha Effect&#8221; as explained by Technomic<sup>1<\/sup>. Technomic discovered that Sriracha can add an instant ethnic taste to something that may not be ethnic otherwise, for example a sandwich. Due to this effect, chefs are searching far and wide to find other assertive flavorings and spices that can be enjoyed the same way as Sriracha. Spicy foods not only arouse our taste buds but they offer health benefits as well<sup>2<\/sup>. Spicy peppers contain capsaicinoids which have been found to help prevent chronic diseases and they also have high concentrations of vitamins and antioxidants. Among the health benefits linked to eating spicy foods is weight loss, and heart health to name a few.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>For all of the spicy taco recipes created exclusively for got milk?, visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gotmilk.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">www.gotmilk.com<\/a> and follow got milk? via social media on\u00a0Facebook\/ Twitter @gotmilk and Instagram @officialgotmilk. <\/p>\n<p><b><u>About the CMPB <br \/><\/u><\/b>The California Milk Processor Board was established in 1993 to make milk more competitive and increase milk consumption in <span class=\"xn-location\">California<\/span>. Awareness of got milk? is over 90% nationally and it is considered one of the most important and successful campaigns in history. Got milk? is a federally registered trademark that has been licensed by the national dairy boards since 1995. The CMPB&#8217;s Spanish-language campaign began in 1994 using the tagline &#8220;Familia, Amor y Leche&#8221; (Family, Love and Milk). The TOMA LECHE (Drink Milk) campaign replaced it in 2006, in order to better align the English and Spanish language work. The CMPB is funded by all <span class=\"xn-location\">California<\/span> milk processors and administered by the California Department of Food and Agriculture.<\/p>\n<p><sup>1<\/sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.technomic.com\/Pressroom\/Releases\/dynRelease_Detail.php?rUID=402\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/www.technomic.com\/Pressroom\/Releases\/dynRelease_Detail.php?rUID=402<\/a> <br \/><sup>2<\/sup><a href=\"http:\/\/articles.mercola.com\/sites\/articles\/archive\/2015\/07\/27\/spicy-food-benefits.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/articles.mercola.com\/sites\/articles\/archive\/2015\/07\/27\/spicy-food-benefits.aspx<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Photo &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/photos.prnewswire.com\/prnh\/20160329\/349272\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/photos.prnewswire.com\/prnh\/20160329\/349272<\/a> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"xn-content\">\n<p><span class=\"xn-location\">SAN CLEMENTE, California<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-chron\">March 30, 2016<\/span> \/PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE\/ &#8212;\u00a0Eating trends are born in <span class=\"xn-location\">California<\/span>.
