24.01.2022 Glacé Fruit Galore!! We have Christmas baking sorted with a huge range of Glacé Fruit packaged to purchase individually.

24.01.2022 Miellerie Honey Tasmania We are excited to be offering this superb honey from the pristine wilderness of Tasmania. Miellerie means "the house of honey" in French. This honey is produced by Yves Ginat, a Frenchman now living in Tasmania. Yves began keeping bees as a young boy in France. He has brought his techniques with him, and says of his honey, "it is a subtle marriage of French tradition and Tasmanian flowers." Miellerie honey is unprocessed and unheated, thus maintai...ning the honey's optimum natural aroma, health qualities, and characteristic crystals. Each of the honeys in the Miellerie range are crystallised, with a smooth, velvety texture that melts in your mouth! We have four Miellerie honey varieties, each with its own unique character: Lake Pedder’s Nectar Honey from the heart of Tasmania’s World Heritage is rich of aroma with a little bitterness. Leatherwood Honey from the cold, deep rainforest of the world heritage wilderness of South-West Tasmania has a distinctive flavour full of soft aromas like the sweet dew of the cold rainforest floor. Tea Tree Honey, rich in natural antibiotics, has an amber colour with a distinct and characteristic taste with a remarkable thick texture of soft, fine crystals. Blue Gum Honey is soft and delicate in perfume.

23.01.2022 7 Reasons Why We Should All Be Enjoying Ghee! The benefits of Ghee are no secret, it has been used in Ayurveda for centuries to enhance ‘Ojas’ (life energy) and our immune systems. Our 100% Certified Organic Sol Ghee not only tastes delicious with its unmistakable nutty aroma, but here are some of its many health benefits. 1. GHEE SUPPORTS DIGESTIVE HEALTH... Ghee helps convert fibre into butyric acid. This short chain fatty acid supports the health and healing of your small and large intestine. Your body uses intestinal bacteria to create butyric acid, which it uses for energy and intestinal wall support. 2. GHEE REDUCES INFLAMMATION Due to those butyric acid boosting properties, Sol Ghee is a natural anti-inflammatory. In recent research, butyric acid has been shown to decrease inflammation, particularly in the gastrointestinal tract. Ghee is now recommended for some people with ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease to ease inflammation. 3. GHEE IS LACTOSE FREE Even though ghee is made from butter, the milk solids and impurities have been removed, so most people who are lactose or casein intolerant have no issue with ghee. 4. GHEE IS HIGH IN OMEGA’S AND VITAMINS Sol Ghee is rich in essential Omega fatty acids 3 and 9. Ghee is also full of healthy fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamin A, D, E, and K. These fatty acids and vitamins are vital for promoting bone and brain health, and for boosting the immune system. 5. GHEE LOWERS CHOLESTEROL AND PROMOTES WEIGHT LOSS Studies have shown that ghee can reduce cholesterol both in the serum and intestine, it does this by triggering an increased secretion of biliary lipids. The benefits of maintaining a healthy digestive tract will also foster an environment of better health and weight loss. The energy generated from the medium chain fatty acids can be used to burn other fats in the system and help with weight loss. 6. GHEE IS RICH IN CLA’S Ghee is rich in CLA's (Conjugated Linoleic Acid), an antioxidant with possible cancer prevention properties according to nutritionists. Sol Ghee is made from the Organic butter of grass-fed cows, which is one of the highest sources of CLA. 7. GHEE HAS A HIGH SMOKE POINT Sol Ghee is a healthy cooking oil due to its high smoke point - (250C / 480F). Use Sol Ghee as a healthy alternative to butter or in place of oil. Perfect for frying, sautéing, baking and roasting. Try it stirred through steamed rice; delicious! Ghee does not need refrigeration; it does not spoil easily and can be kept as a shelf staple.

07.01.2022 Canberra's Spring blossoms are beautiful but they can trigger hayfever for many. Here's a few tips to help minimise uncomfortable symptoms of runny nose, sneezing, inflamed sinuses and itchy eyes. If you can't escape to the coast, then you might try a salt water nasal rinse with a spray or neti pot. A daily or weekly rinse washes away dust, pollen and other irritants, and also clears excess mucous. Your mucous membranes will be healthier and your head will feel clear and ...refreshed too! Diet can influence catarrh and hypersensitivity of mucous membranes. Favour fresh spring vegetables and fruit, and avoid processed foods, dairy, wheat, sugar and salt. Increase Omega-3 fatty acids from plants, fish and algae. Drink Dandelion Root Beverage up to 3 times a day during allergy season. Nettle, honey and bee pollen can help reduce the severity of seasonal allergies, (not if you're allergic to bees of course!) best if started before you get symptoms. Nettles have a natural antihistamine in their leaves and are soothing to the respiratory system. Other helpful herbs include eyebright, elder, peppermint, chamomile, marshmallow and fennel. We have many effective herbal teas, tinctures and homeopathic allergy remedies. Please talk to our staff to discover which formula is right for you. See more
