Potato WrapIt Mix Uses and Recipes

Storage of Dry Mix:

Always keep the WrapIt® mix dry. Small amounts of moisture decrease shelf life and may cause mold to grow. Store sealed in its packaging in a cool dry place. Do not measure with a wet measuring spoon.

PILL WRAP MIX INSTRUCTIONS: (Makes 1 batch)

One batch makes enough dough to wrap 1-2 capsules or 2-4 tablets (based on sizes of Greenies® Allergen Pill Pockets).

Potato WrapIt® Recipe:                                             

3 teaspoons Potato WrapIt® Mix            

1 teaspoon water

Mix and knead until the dough forms. The dough should be the consistency of Play-Doh®

Too Dry: If the dough is too dry or crumbly add a drop or two of water.

Too Sticky: If the dough is too sticky, allow it to sit for two minutes and re-knead. If it is still sticky add a small amount of the dry pill mix.

USE INSTRUCTIONS:

Pinch off a small amount of dough and wrap around the pill. It is best to only make the amount of dough you will use in 2 or 3 days.

Storage of Dough:

The mixed dough can be stored at room temperature in a sealed bag or container for up to 2-3 days. Dough may also be refrigerated in a sealed bag or container for up to 5 days. Remoisten refrigerated dough by kneading in a few drops of water.

If dough has mold or a noxious odor, do not use it!
