Buderim Ginger launches new alcoholic Ginger Beer range<br />

Thanks to the beverage gods, Aussies are about to get their very own range of pre-mixed alcoholic Ginger Beer drinks,<br />

featuring universal favourites Ginger Beer & Vodka and Ginger Beer & Spiced Rum.<br />

Served in chilled, slimline 250ml cans, these newly launched sweet golden concoctions of ginger beer and alcohol can now<br />

literally be consumed in two easy steps; open and sip.<br />

Also known as a Moscow Mule (aka history’s tastiest drink), the Ginger Beer & Vodka variant boasts the unique and<br />

perfectly matched flavours of Buderim Ginger and clean high-quality Vodka, paying homage to this classic cocktail.<br />

And perhaps the most refreshing beverage of all time, the Ginger Beer & Spiced Rum combination is steeped in a rich<br />

history, dating all the way back to the late 1800’s. Traditionally known as a ‘Dark and Stormy’, this delicious mix of Buderim<br />

Ginger and Spiced Rum delivers an extra smooth taste with a rich vanilla & spice character.<br />

The launch of the new alcoholic range in First Choice Liquor<br />

and Vintage Cellar stores comes off the back of the successful<br />

launch of Buderim Ginger’s non-alcoholic range last summer,<br />

including Original Ginger Beer, Ginger Beer & Guarana,<br />

Reduced Sugar Ginger Beer and Ginger Beer & Pear, which<br />

recently just won the <strong>2016</strong> Product of the Year Award in<br />

the Beverage Category.<br />

We don't mean to boast, but Ginger is kinda our thing<br />

As fine purveyors of all things ginger since 1941, Buderim<br />

Ginger is known for creating a distinct flavour hit like no<br />

other. Made using only the freshest ginger, these delightful<br />

new additions deliver a zesty bite that can quench the<br />

most merciless of thirsts.<br />

The new alcoholic Ginger Beer range can be consumed<br />

straight from the can, or poured over ice with a twist of<br />

lemon for a pleasing tipple.<br />

Proudly made on home-soil.<br />

IN SEASON<br />

FACTS & TIPS?<br />

Pick plump:<br />

Wrinkly doesn’t mean ripe. Go for<br />

plump, heavy passionfruit.<br />

Bag it:<br />

With protective skin they don’t<br />

spoil easily but to make them last<br />

longer, keep them in a plastic bag<br />

in the fridge. It stops them from<br />

dehydrating, they’ll last a month!<br />

Get passionate about health:<br />

Passionfruit is a good source of fibre,<br />

a source of vitamin C and low in<br />

energy - only 55 kilojoules per serve!<br />

Passionfruit<br />

At its best: Aussie Passionfruit for Autumn and Winter.<br />

An unexpected abundance of sweet passionfruit is hitting stores<br />

right now, giving Aussies an early treat ahead of the traditional<br />

winter peak.<br />

Thanks to plenty of warm and humid days earlier this year,<br />

passionfruits are popping off the vines, resulting in a consistent<br />

flow of excellent quality fruit.<br />

Nick Hornery, a second-generation <strong>Australian</strong> passionfruit<br />

grower from NSW, is pleased that the influx means Aussies can<br />

keep enjoying passionfruit well into the cooler months.<br />

“We’ve been busy picking around 15,000 passionfruits a day on<br />

average. Our vines are flush with flowers, and we’re expecting a<br />

great winter crop with a slightly tangier taste.”<br />

Nick is one of 190 passionfruit farmers in Australia who work<br />

seven days a week to deliver top quality fruit to store shelves<br />

around the country. Nick enlists a team of locals to help collect<br />

the fruit and has help from his family, including his four-year-old<br />

son Gus, who loves tractor rides around the farm.<br />

Although it is available all year round, passionfruit experiences a<br />

peak in summer and winter. With over 15 years in the passionfruit<br />

industry, Nick shares his top tips to enjoy this sweet treat during<br />

this peak season.<br />

Picking and storing your fruit<br />

• Pick ripe fruit that is plump, smooth and heavy for its size –<br />

wrinkly does not mean ripe!<br />

• Passionfruit lasts up to one month in the fridge and two weeks<br />

in the fruit bowl – keep them in a plastic bag to maximise<br />

freshness. Add passionfruit to a cheese platter in place of<br />

quince paste for a touch of sweetness.<br />

• Add passionfruit to classic baked desserts for a fragrant<br />

twist. Mix into tarts, pudding, slices or icing, or drizzle over<br />

cheesecake or pavlova.<br />

• Add passionfruit to your morning smoothie or on top of your<br />

morning porridge for a fibre boost.<br />

PAGE 8<br />

Gettin’ juicy:<br />

Instead of chopping them in half,<br />

chop the top off and eat it like a<br />

boiled egg with a spoon to avoid<br />

losing the juice.<br />

Flavour boost:<br />

Make everyday meals special! Scoop<br />

passionfruit onto cereal, enjoy with<br />

yoghurt, add to desserts or mix it into<br />

your banana smoothie to kick start<br />

your day.<br />

Delicious dressing:<br />

Try adding passionfruit to a<br />

traditional balsamic and olive oil<br />

dressing for a tasty, tangy change.<br />

Strain for seedless:<br />

If the black edible seeds don’t<br />

take your fancy and you’d prefer<br />

passionfruit pulp, simply strain the<br />

seeds out.<br />

Irresistible icy poles:<br />

For a refreshing summer treat, freeze<br />

passion fruit pulp in ice trays or<br />

popsicle moulds.<br />

Sweet treat passion:<br />

Make simple desserts more exotic.<br />

Add to ice cream, spoon onto on<br />

a sponge cake or use on a cheese<br />

platter in place of quince paste.<br />

Perfect pairings:<br />

Passionfruit goes well with fish, pork,<br />

coconut milk, vanilla, honey, banana,<br />

mango and pastry.<br />

Delectable drinks:<br />

The liquid nature of passionfruit<br />

pulp makes it perfect for adding<br />

to beverage for a tangy twist. Try<br />

making a passionfruit Caprioska by<br />

mixing vodka, lime and passionfruit.<br />

Passionate all year round:<br />

Passionfruit is available year round<br />

but there are two supply peaks in<br />

summer (December – February) and<br />

winter (<strong>June</strong> – August).


Pineapple<br />

Another great<br />

Aussie favourite<br />

is the Pineapple,<br />

not many know<br />

it as a Winter Fruit<br />

but it thrives in the tropical states through Winter.<br />

Pineapples are an excellent source of vitamin C and<br />

manganese, which is good for bone health. They are also<br />

a good source of thiamin, magnesium and vitamin B6.<br />

Pineapples contain fibre and bromelain, which makes them<br />

a terrific food for gut health.<br />

You can store chopped pineapple in an airtight container<br />

in the fridge for up to six days and in the freezer for up to<br />

six months.<br />

Select fruit that feels heavy for its size and check it doesn’t<br />

have soft spots or bruises. If it has a top, the leaves should<br />

be fresh and green.<br />

COUNTRY OF ORIGIN LABELS<br />

New Labels for Consumers<br />

In March <strong>2016</strong> the Federal Government announced that there will be significant reforms to Australia’s Food labelling for<br />

all food available for retail sale in Australia. After many years of consumer complaints, lobbying by consumer groups and<br />

Media including <strong>Buy</strong> <strong>Australian</strong> magazine the government has conceded that the current system needed overhauling and a<br />

new Country of Origin labelling system was needed.<br />

This is a major win for consumers, the old labelling system was confusing at best. The new Country of Origin Labelling will<br />

show consumers where the product is made, packaged and grown at a glance, giving consumers the ability to make more<br />

informed choices.<br />

You can expect to see new Country of Origin labels as early as July 1 <strong>2016</strong>, business do have two years to sell existing stock<br />

so it won’t be in full effect until mid 2018.<br />

The Country of Origin Labelling has been created using a series of bar charts designed to be consistent, easily<br />

recognisable, and most importantly, easy to understand. Let’s have a look and see what you can expect to see on your<br />

supermarket shelves.<br />

PRIORITY FOODS<br />

All food available for retail sale with the exception of Non priority foods. (See next page for Non priority foods)<br />

The proposed country of origin labels for priority food grown and produced in Australia will identify two key things:<br />

1. That the food was grown, produced or made in Australia – indicated by the kangaroo logo<br />

2. The phrase stating that the food was grown, produced or made in Australia.<br />

Below, for products that are not 100% grown and produced in Australia the bar chart shows the percentage of <strong>Australian</strong><br />

ingredients in the food by ingoing weight and is stated in the phrase.<br />

see next page for more label examples<br />

PAGE 11


NON PRIORITY FOODS<br />

Include Confectionary, Alcoholic beverages, Bottled Water, Soft Drinks, Biscuits and Snack foods<br />

For non priority foods having a bar chart is optional, they still must have a clear reference to their country of Origin in plain<br />

text so if you do not see the bar chart take a closer look for the text panel.<br />

THE NEW LABELS WILL ALSO INCLUDE PACKAGING INFORMATION<br />

As you can see there are a few options manufactures and producers can choose from to show Country of Origin but it is<br />

clear and easy to understand.<br />

IMPORTED PRODUCTS<br />

Imported products will carry their own Country of Origin label stating their country of origin.<br />

There is also a label for when there is a blend of <strong>Australian</strong> and imported ingredients.<br />

There are a few more variations on the labels, you can download or read the full face sheet.<br />

Visit Website<br />

There is also help for <strong>Australian</strong><br />

business, the Government is<br />

developing an online decision<br />

tool to help business select the<br />

right labels for their products.<br />

Information for business will<br />

be available.<br />

Coon toastie truck<br />

Swimming Australia and iconic <strong>Australian</strong> brand COON<br />

Cheese have joined forces in the race to Rio and beyond with<br />

the pair forming a two-year partnership that will commence<br />

on Monday March 21st until 2018.<br />

This partnership will see an <strong>Australian</strong> made and much<br />

loved brand, COON Cheese, play an active role at Swimming<br />

Australia national events with their reach also extending<br />

beyond the sporting fan to people far and wide across the<br />

country through the COON Cheese Toastie Truck.<br />

The Coon Cheese Toastie Truck will travel the country,<br />

attending a wide range of events with $1 from every $2<br />

COON Cheese Toastie sandwich going back to support the<br />

Swimming Australia Junior Dolphins Program.<br />

The Junior Dolphins Program is a national initiative<br />

encouraging children to join their local swimming club and<br />

introduce them to the sport of swimming - a fun and exciting<br />

activity and a valuable life skill.<br />

Swimming Australia Chief Commercial Officer Chris Forbes<br />

said, “This is a perfect partnership for Swimming Australia,<br />

aligning with an iconic brand that will be supporting the<br />

development of future stars – and helping our fans to enjoy<br />

their events with great tasting toasted cheese sandwiches.<br />

Following on from the announcement of the Seven Network<br />

as our broadcast partner last year and Bio Island as the<br />

official nutrition partner just days ago, this is another step<br />

forward for Swimming Australia,” Forbes said.<br />

In addition to the Coon Cheese Toastie Truck, the<br />

Dolphins brand will appear on COON Cheese packaging in<br />

supermarkets around Australia.<br />

The General Manager of Marketing at COON Cheese, Ted<br />

Lawson said “As swimming is the number one participation<br />

sport in Australia and we believe that all <strong>Australian</strong>s should<br />

learn to swim this is the right partnership for Coon Cheese.<br />

We believe in promoting an active, healthy lifestyle one in<br />

which Coon Cheese and swimming can play an important<br />

role especially in children and young adults.<br />

The Coon Cheese Toastie Truck will be raising money for<br />

Swimming Australia by selling Toasties, hot off the grill,<br />

which is comfort food that all <strong>Australian</strong>s grew up with.<br />

We like to say that eating a Coon Cheese Toastie is like that<br />

feeling you get when Mum wraps you with a towel after a<br />

swim. “Comfort never grows old”<br />

The partnership between COON Cheese, Swimming<br />

Australia and the <strong>Australian</strong> Dolphins Swim Team<br />

will actively launch in Adelaide at the <strong>2016</strong> Hancock<br />

Prospecting <strong>Australian</strong> Swimming Championships.<br />

Fans will be able to come and taste the benefits of this<br />

partnership every day and night during the National<br />

Food Allergy Week<br />

Notice anything strange in late May, did you see people walking around with just one fingernail painted? Well if you did it<br />

was all for a good cause. May 15-21 was Food Allergy Week, a fantastic initiative by Allergy & Anaphylaxis Australia (A&AA)<br />

to help raise awareness of the prevalence of food allergies, and the best way communities can work together to support<br />

people with food allergy to minimise their risk and help manage emergencies when they happen.<br />

Australia has one of the highest rates of food allergies in the world and the incidence is increasing at an alarming rate.<br />

Did you know:<br />

• One in 10 children born in Australia today will develop a life threatening food allergy.<br />

• According to the latest <strong>Australian</strong> statistics released in 2015, hospital admissions for anaphylaxis due to food allergy<br />

increased by over 50 per cent in the seven years between 2004 and 2012.<br />

• The biggest increase in hospital admissions for anaphylaxis due to food allergy has been among children five to 14,<br />

where admissions have more than doubled. This group is at greatest risk of fatal anaphylaxis.<br />

• Anaphylactic reactions now account for 1 in every 500 hospital admissions for children aged 5-14, with rates also<br />

increasing in older teens and young adults.<br />

• MAKE A DONATION at www.foodallergyaware.com.au<br />

• ADOPT AN ALLERGY for one day to better understand the challenges<br />

allergy sufferers face every single day. Set up an Everyday Hero<br />

fundraising page for friends and family to sponsor you<br />

• DOWNLOAD A BADGE from our website to use through your<br />

social media channels<br />

• HOLD A LOCAL COMMUNITY EVENT to raise awareness and/or funds<br />

For further information, please visit www.foodallergyaware.com.au<br />

And next year you can PAINT ONE NAIL to symbolise that one in<br />

10 babies born in Australia today will develop afood allergy and<br />

Nuts about Nuts<br />

If you are nuts about nuts then you have not only been enjoying a great variety of tasty treats<br />

but you have also been doing your body a favour as nuts are known to have many nutritional health benefits.<br />

The increase in nut consumption in Australia and around the world has risen rapidly over the past ten years. A fact that<br />

might surprise many is that the <strong>Australian</strong> Tree nut industry is <strong>Australian</strong> horticultures largest industry (3 times larger than<br />

table grapes and citrus), and also <strong>Australian</strong> agriculture’s largest export industry (reaching export values of over $1 billion<br />

in 2015). This growth has in large part been driven by rising global consumer demand, which is the result of greater focus on<br />

health and healthy diets. (e.g. Mediterranean diet).<br />

So what is everyone going nuts over. Nuts were once off the waist watchers’ diet for being too high in fat, but over the last<br />

few years a leading health awareness initiative - Nuts for Life, has been changing the way we think about these wholesome<br />

little nuggets.<br />

The aim of the Nuts for life programme is to educate the public, health advocates, health professionals and the media<br />

about the health benefits of a daily healthy handful of nuts. The recent <strong>Australian</strong> Healthy Survey (2011-13) found on<br />

average <strong>Australian</strong>s eat just 6 grams of nuts a day, well short of the 30 gram serving size recommended in the <strong>Australian</strong><br />

Dietary Guidelines.<br />

Tree nuts include: Almond, Brazil nut, Cashew, Chestnut, Hazelnut, Macadamia, Pecan, Pine nut, Pistachio and Walnut.<br />

(Peanuts are not included as they are actually legumes).<br />

What does 30grams of nuts looks like? Well it’s about...<br />

• 20 almonds<br />

• 10 brazil nuts<br />

Research tells us that, compared with those that don’t eat nuts, those who do eat nuts:<br />

• Tend to have a better diet quality<br />

• Tend to have a lower body mass index (BMI)<br />

• Are less likely to gain weight over time<br />

• Are less likely to be at risk of obesity, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome<br />

• More likely to have normal levels of blood cholesterol and blood glucose<br />

• And are more likely to live longer.<br />

Our market research has found one of the key reasons why<br />

<strong>Australian</strong>s don’t eat nuts every day is their concern about<br />

nuts causing weight gain. However, international research<br />

has found nuts do not cause weight gain and there are many<br />

reasons why:<br />

• Nuts help satisfy appetite – healthy fats, fibre and<br />

protein in nuts help control appetite<br />

• Less fat absorption – we don’t absorb all the fat in nuts;<br />

some is trapped with fibre and excreted in stools<br />

• GI lowering effect – adding nuts to meals with<br />

carbohydrates slows digestion and slows the rise in<br />

blood glucose, keeping you feeling satisfied for longer<br />

• Improved insulin response – nuts make the body more<br />

sensitive to insulin, whereas insulin resistance leads to<br />

weight gain<br />

Better compliance – people enjoy nuts, and we all know<br />

people stick to a healthy eating plan for longer if it contains<br />

foods you enjoy. Better compliance to a healthy eating plan<br />

leads to greater weight management success.<br />

Nuts are available all year round, except for fresh chestnuts<br />

which are only available over Autumn and early winter.<br />

Frozen chestnuts and other chestnut products such as<br />

chestnut flour, are available all year round.<br />

Once you have your nuts at home it’s best to store them in<br />

an air tight container in the fridge or freezer. They will keep<br />

for 6-12 months if stored well. Remember to bring then<br />

back to room temperature before eating to bring back the<br />

nutty flavours. We like to zap them in the microwave for 30<br />

seconds – nothing beats the taste of warmed nuts!<br />

Nuts in cooking<br />

Many years ago Nuts for Life analysed the recipes in<br />

women’s, food and health magazines to determine what<br />

are the most common types of recipes published and what<br />

are the most common types of recipes that use nuts as<br />

ingredients. As a result Nuts for Life developed two tabletfriendly<br />

recipe booklets which showcase nuts in savoury<br />

settings, but don’t worry there’s a few fun recipes there too.<br />

GREAT AUSTRALIAN BRANDS<br />

Murray River Salt - Premium Gourmet Salt Flakes<br />

SunSalt/Murray River Salt has been owned and operated by Duncan and Jan Thomson since 1983. The business began<br />

producing salt from the unlimited supply of underground saline water at Hattah, North West Victoria.<br />

Now with thirty years experience, SunSalt has gained significant knowledge and developed distinctive techniques to<br />

extract value-added salts from inland brines.<br />

In 2000, SunSalt registered Murray River Salt and began producing premium gourmet salt flakes utilising<br />

concentrated brine from the Mourquong Salt Mitigation Basin, which is located 13 kilometers northwest of Mildura<br />

in New South Wales.<br />

The concentrated brine is pumped up from an ancient inland sea and makes its way to crystallizer ponds. The brine is<br />

evaporated by the sun and crystallizes over the summer months where it is then harvested and transported to a nearby<br />

processing plant to be washed, dried and packaged. The water from the aquifer is highly mineralized, which gives the<br />

salt flakes their distinctive pink hue and soft flavour. This natural salt contains no additives or preservatives and is full<br />

of trace elements such as magnesium and calcium, whereas normal table salt has all the minerals washed out of it.<br />

Murray River Salt flakes are considered essential by foodies and top chefs across Australia and more recently<br />

around the world.<br />

Recent awards include a Superior Taste award from the International Taste Quality Institute in Europe and an<br />

Innovation Award at SIAL China.<br />

CERTIFIED ORGANIC MILK<br />

Why you should have an-udder glass<br />

So, feel like a<br />

glass of milk?<br />

Make sure you look for the<br />

<strong>Australian</strong> Certified<br />

Organic logo first!<br />

<strong>Australian</strong> Organic owns<br />

and supports Australia’s<br />

largest organic certifying<br />

group <strong>Australian</strong><br />

Certified Organic.<br />

The <strong>Australian</strong> Certified<br />

Organic ‘Bud’ logo appears<br />

on over 16,000 products<br />

across the nation.<br />

Remember when we used to get those little milk cartons at Primary School every<br />

day? Turns out our teachers and parents were onto something! A glass of milk<br />

every day is just what most kids need to lead a healthy life as adults. However, a<br />

recent study discovered that, compared to non-organic classified dairy products,<br />

we should be choosing organic milk as it contains double the health benefits.<br />

The study was completed by the British Journal of Nutrition in Newcastle,<br />

England, and was the largest systematic review of its kind led by an international<br />

team of experts.<br />

The results are as astounding as they are pleasant. The British Journal found that<br />

organic milk as well as organic meat contain a whopping 50% more beneficial<br />

omega-3 fatty acids than non-organic classified dairy and meat products.<br />

Omega-3 fatty acids are the so called ‘essential fats’ within the human body and<br />

crucial for our systems, as they have been shown to help prevent and control<br />

common diseases of modern society. Omega-3 fatty acids also can help in the<br />

prevention of heart disease and stroke, lupus, eczema and rheumatoid arthritis<br />

as well as assist to normalise and regulate cholesterol. They also may play an<br />

important role in protecting from cancer and other conditions.<br />

Most importantly to note is that the human body can’t produce omega-3 fats<br />

itself - humans have to consume omega-3 fat rich foods, such as fish, nuts and<br />

leafy vegetables to be able to benefit from their positive properties. ‘The results<br />

from this study are amazing, but come as no surprise to us here at <strong>Australian</strong><br />

Organic’ comments <strong>Australian</strong> Organic CEO Paul Stadhams. ‘Certified organic<br />

farming methods result in nutritional differences between certified organic and<br />

non-organic crops like fruit and vegetables, so it is natural to see positive changes<br />

in dairy as well!’<br />

The <strong>Australian</strong> Certified Organic Standard 2013 requires certified organic cows to<br />

have access to a healthy diet. According to the British study, natural pasture can<br />

contain high levels of clover which has been found to increase omega 3 fatty acid<br />

concentrations. However, it’s not just about fresh milk!<br />

The nutritional differences also apply to certified organic dairy like butter,<br />

cream, cheese and yoghurt - which is great, because these are products people<br />

consume on an everyday basis. ‘This research confirms everything the <strong>Australian</strong><br />

Organic and our standard stand for,’ says Chief Certification Officer for <strong>Australian</strong><br />

Certified Organic, Mr Michael Baker. ‘The way we grow our food, what we feed<br />

our animals and how we treat them has a massive impact on the quality of the<br />

produce we consume. We have always gone further than just saying that synthetic<br />

additives and conservatives are bad for your health – in our opinion it’s not just<br />

about the things you leave out, it is about the things you add as well! It’s nice to<br />

see this scientifically backed up.’<br />

According to <strong>Australian</strong> Organic’s 2014 Marketing Report, the dairy product<br />

segment has grown dramatically since 2009. This is largely due to rising organic<br />

milk sales, driven by increased demand of consumers who have realised that the<br />

certified organic industry is the real deal and not just a marketing hype.<br />

Dairy is the fastest growing sector within the certified organic sector and<br />

there is little expectation the demand in this market sector is slowing down<br />

any time soon.<br />

COLD AND FLU<br />

Its cold and flu season and most of us will unfortunately suffer through some nasty symptoms at some stage this Winter.<br />

Believe it or not you can dramatically reduce your chances of contracting a cold or flu by doing two very simple things,<br />

1 Avoid people who are already suffering.<br />

2 Wash your hands regularly, especially when you have been out in public places.<br />

Remember you can also vaccinate yourself against the Flu, for around $20 most GP’s and Chemists can provide a flu shot<br />

and for people in higher risk categories like Over 65, Asthma sufferers, people with impaired immunity and most cronic<br />

illness sufferers the flu shot is free.<br />

If you feel some symptoms coming on the earlier you treat them the more chance you will have of decreasing the length<br />

and severity of your cold. And see your doctor to ensure its nothing more than a cold or flu.<br />
