Red skin ginger coffee


Red skin ginger is stronger than other ginger. You can buy it as Red giner Lemon, milk cereal drink, Red skin ginger tea, red skin ginger and lemongrass tea. I tried Red skin Ginger coffee at Vitafoods Asia, a trade show in Singapore in September 2019.

Vital Products from Vitafoods: The Exotic Jute Ashwagandha Bag and Its Erotic Promises


Singapore flag.

The show is about manufacturing and marketing healthy foods and products from packaging and sales of ingredients to finished products. On day two of the Vitafoods Asia show I arrived early and in time to get the jute bag donated by Ashwagandha.

I had missed out on getting the bag on day one.

The bag says:
Clinically Proven to Help
Reduce Stress ... (The previous day I could have done with that)
Improve Memory ... (I could have done with that)
Improve endurance ... (Yes, I needed that)
I was about to ask if they could prove all this when I read the last on the list:
Enhance Sexual Function ... and testosterone in Men

I decided not to go back to their stand and ask for proof.

The show was all about food, fortified food, nutrition, health and wellness.

Next year's show in Asia is 23rd and 24th September 2020. If you are looking to promote your product, find a distributor, source a service or select packaging, this is the place to be promoting your product or service on a stand or go as a visitor looking for potential partners.

Vitafoods,Vikings, Viking Museums, Atlantic Delights and what cod liver oil could do for you

Many people in the UK will remember cod liver oil seen as a magic ingredient in their childhood.

This wonderful tattooed arm belongs to young Mr Edmond Yong who was on the Atlantic Delights stand at Vitafoods Asia exhibition in Singapore. He told me that cod liver oil, now from Norway, has a long history, and was eaten by Vikings before they went to war and stopped to, er, pillage and whatnot in Britain.


Look at the Vikings fighting fiercelyin a Norwegian Viking Museum, all wearing their distinctive nose protection. Maybe footballers and boxers should wear that.

Maybe that is why some of us look like Vikings and regard them so fondly. They thought cod liver oil strengthened them. No doubt the oil helped them fight stronger. That's what they thought. We had lots of laughs.
He is also marketing Baby's cod liver oil. I wondered whether that turns your baby into a little Viking, which probably makes babies scream more forcefully. 
The Altantic Delights stand had run out of the popular cod liver oil. But they had salmon oil capsules. Never heard of it, until now. Learn something every day.
More details about this product made in Norway at Røst Island in the Arctic Circle.
See their website.
 (You can type the oo sounding o by holding down the o key on the keyboard of your phone. Alas it doesn't work in blogger. I just get a line of the same letter.)

Next year's Vitafoods Asia show is 23rd and 24th September 2020. If you are looking to promote your product, find a distributor, source a service or select packaging, this is the place to be promoting your product or service on a stand or go as a visitor.
Another trade show is in Geneva, Switzerland, Europe, 12-14 May 2020.

If you have taken your cod liver oil, or salmon oil, and are raring to go on your travels, the UK has an excellent Viking Museum in York. They found a whole Viking area when excavating for a building and eventually agreed with the developers to have an underground museum with the development on top. I remember in the Jorwik museum riding around on an underground train which allows you and the other tourists to see all the artefacts and reproduction scenes without touching and damaging them.

Norway has a Viking museum.

The Danes and the Irish have re-enactment battles if you wish to take a daily dose of cod liver oil, lubricate and limber up and demonstrate your prowess.

Viking re-enactment. All the excitement but nobody gets hurt.

The Norwegians

Norwegian Vikings.

Viking. British Museum, London, England.

If you are not planning on travelling to Norway or York, you can find this little fellow with his friends in the British Museum, London.

I now see cod liver oil in a whole new light. Every time I see a Viking I shall think of cod liver oil. And I shall think of salmon oil.

Vitafoods Asia At Expo Wed 25 209 and Thursday 26 - oops - wong venue! Bag, chocolate tasting and horse placenta



Singapore flag.

Vitafoods Asia provided a day full of surprises. The first was even before I got there. Expo Singapore holds major events. So I trotted off to Expo MRT railway station, one stop away from Changi airport.

Upper Changi on the Singapore MRT downtown line.

Luckily, before exiting at Expo MRT, I asked at the station ticket office for the right way to exit. They asked, 'Which hall?'

I showed them my invitation.

Oh NO! My exhibition, Vitafoods Asia, was at the Sands Expo & Convention Centre exhibition hall at Marina Bay Sands The wonderful shopping and hotel and casino and tourism and conference complex was miles away, not minutes, miles.


Back along the MRT to Bayfront MRT station. About half an hour wasted on the MRT line going to the wrong place. Another half an hour going back.

The moral is, check the destination and MRT station in advance.

But I did. I had printed off my ticket. I had the MRT and location in my diary from weeks back. But I didn't look in my diary. I just looked at the ticket around my neck

The moral is, always check the MRT station and venue and hall on the day of travel.










Marina Bay Sands. Boats.

The Ashwagandha Bag
I arrived too late to get the free bag from Ashwagandha. Everybody seemed to be carrying the bag except me. Ashwagandha is an Indian product,a root extract, like ginseng to the Koreans and Chinese, ashwagandha is something the Indians swear by for health.









Meanwhile, I was in time to go to the tasting section which is a great idea for any exhibition.
All in one place, grouped toether are many of the foods, then the drinks. You vote for your favourite.
Then I want on around the show, looking for novelties.

What was new to me?
1 Giant mushrooms.
2 Soft cuddly toys to demonstrate bacteria in your gut, and nasty looking E-coli.
3 The firm which won the Queens Award to Industry
4 Red skinned ginger in coffee, making a hot drink in both senses of the word hot.


But the biggest surprise was:

Horse placenta
On one stand I stopped to chat about horse placenta.
I asked, "What is good about it?"
I was surprised by the answer:
"It's much better than pig's placenta."

As Peter Sellers said in the song, "Well, goodness, gracious me!"

The next day I went back to the show, the right place, on time, and got the free bag in which to carry all the samples and literature. Lots of gums containing vitamins.

But if you meet me and I am bouncing around, maybe it's because I was sucking on one of those yummy gummy vitamins.

I didn't get any horse placenta. Well, you can't have everything.

Maybe next time. Next year's show is 23rd and 24th September 2020. If you are looking to promote your product, find a distributor, source a service or select attractive packaging, this is the place to be promoting your product or service on a stand or go as a visitor. If you are not in the trade, never mind, just watch out for my informative and amusing blog post.
