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 />

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 />

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 />
• 15 cashews<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 />

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 />

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 />
Check out these cold and flu busters below.<br />
