Inspiring Ways to Use Traina Foods New BBQ Sauces

Traina Foods has gotten quite saucy! No really, like as in BBQ sauce! The company, known for its California sun dried fruits, recently dipped into the world of BBQ with the introduction of two dried fruit flavor-driven sauces that are gluten-free and made without high-fructose corn syrup.

Traina Foods’ Sun Dried Apricot BBQ sauce features real tomatoes and tree-ripened apricots from their family farm to produce a sweet-yet-bold flavor that is complementary to beef, pork, chicken, fish, tofu and vegetables dishes. Whether carnivore or plant-forward dieter, anyone can enjoy this flavorful sauce. A perfect meal for summer, Traina Foods Grilled Chicken Sun Dried Apricot Skewers can be drizzled with a little Sun Dried Apricot BBQ sauce after cooking for a kicked up apricot flavor.
