Karuah Active Magnesium 2 x 500g pack
The dairy industry has been disguising the truth for years in their advertising that claims calcium is essential for healthy teeth and bones. How can this be right when we all know elderly folk who have consumed dairy products their whole lives yet break bones from even a simple fall.
The reality is that we are swamped in calcium. We consume 20 times more than we need and so a lot of it gets deposited in our soft tissues; in arteries and veins, in ducts and organs as stones. Magnesium is crucial in balancing calcium intake and we consume far too much calcium and insufficient magnesium.

Lemon Myrtle Sprinkle
Lemon myrtle sprinkle could be considered even more lemony than lemon myrtle because of its unique formulation. It is a blend of the best quality lemon myrtle leaf; wild, rainforest lime pulp and lemon aspen pulp (specially dried in the dark and milled at sub-zero temperatures) which provide a hint of acid; and the aromatics of lemon myrtle are further enhanced by using encapsulated lemon myrtle essential oil. Finally, there’s some anise myrtle which is a good source of trans-anethole.

For a few ideas of use and more information on the mix visit our page on Wildfire spice. Wildfire Spice is gently spicy but is a complex flavoring and ideal for barbequing, grilling and baking.

Bush Tomato Chutney
Now in a 250g or 8.8oz glass jar for your convenience. Bush tomato chutney is one of our most popular products with chefs in restaurants and catering on the airlines using it as it comes or making a version of my recipe for what I call ‘Bushetta’. This is toasted slices of a French stick either spread with Alpine pepper butter or better still, made with Alpine pepper bread. Then the Bush tomato chutney is prepared by mixing equal quantities of the chutney with finely chopped tomato. I leave the skin on for texture but remove the seeds and juice unless using heirloom tomatoes as available in the US. To flavour the mixture I add torn fresh basil and a generous sprinkle of Yakajirri – a new product about to be added to our store next week. Top the bread slices with the mix and serve with antipasto.

Defense Mouth Throat Skin
This is similar in use to the clever dentist who advised his patient to “Just floss the teeth you want to keep”. Use Defense MTS on your teeth, gums and the back of your throat. Use as a hand antimicrobial. And for something completely different, try a single squirt of Defense over your favourite gin-based cocktails. It adds a peppermint-pine aromatic to enhance the juniper in gin.

Alpine Pepper
Alpine pepper is a carefully considered formulation of the peppery leaves and fruits of a high country wild pepper found in the mountains of Tasmania. The fiery leaves get draped in snow in the winter and blasted by Antarctic winds which sweep the icy valleys where this tough plant grows.

Red Desert Dust
OK. So it’s not really dust but our Red Desert Dust is a seasoning with a gutsy, aromatic mix of conventional and native Australian ingredients and ideal as a finishing flavor over meats, potatoes, eggs or cheeses such as baked ricotta. Try a simple grilled cheese on toast sprinkled with Red Desert Dust and taste the added dimensions of flavors from the native Australian ingredients.

Davidson Plum Syrup
Davidson plums are super sour and brilliant crimson on colour. We balance the sourness with just enough sweetness to reveal the true character of this dramatic fruit. The organic acids which make the juice so tart are still very much present making this syrup ideal as a garnish and finishing sauce for ice cream, baked desserts, chocolate in its many forms and fruit salads. However, this syrup can also suit many savoury applications. Add some wasabi or ginger, garlic or freshly cut and mashed herbs such as coriander (cilantro) or basil and even a little red wine vinegar and the uses expand.

Maple & Ironwood Syrup
Lemon Ironwood Syrup is a sublime mix of maple and lemon myrtle flavours. The surprise with this syrup is the timing of the flavours because the first sensation is the sweetness, then the maple and finally, the aromatic notes of the citrusy lemon myrtle come through. The obvious use is as a straight substitute for maple syrup but our product can also work brilliantly over grilled or roasted meats and seafood, poultry and shellfish, even vegetables. In fact, anywhere you need some subtle aromatics that are simply divine.

Herbal-Active Natural Food Rinse®
Make the most of the fresh produce you buy and ensure not just the maximum shelf life but the highest quality of food safety too.
Naturally sanitize your fruits, vegetables and protein foods using our proprietary mix of culinary herb and spice extracts.
We ship this product as a concentrate with the essential oil components bound onto Acacia gum. Herbal-Active® is best thought of as a natural (herby) flavour and comes in the spouted pouch, ready to be made up to a litre with blood-warm (tepid) water. One way is to tare the weight of the pouch setting it to zero and then adding just enough water to wet the powder in the pouch. Remove the pouch from the scales and press the front and back of the pouch to fully moisten the powder inside. Put back on the scales and make up to 990g of warm water through the spout to make 1 litre of working solution for spraying or dipping fruits, vegetables, salad greens, fresh herbs, sprouts and any meats and seafood. It is even effective at slowing the ripening of soft cheeses and will extend the life of cut flowers.
Keep the spray bottle with the prepared Herbal-Active® solution handy for those skin burns, scrapes, cuts and bites. The solution can also be sprayed into your mouth and over gums and teeth where it will freshen up even the most coffee-laden, smoker’s breath. It will also kill organisms that pave the way leading to dental caries and more importantly, those which are responsible for periodontal disease. Try it on your dog’s breath too.
Safe to use on open wounds, in eyes, ears, mouth, hands and genital region – for all over personal care.

Lemon Aspen Juice
Lemon aspen juice is a brand new citrus somewhere in between lemon and grapefruit with a hint of menthol as a late finish. Use it instead of lemon and never use other citrus to ‘extend’ the flavour. It actually negates the taste completely. Even just a twist of orange will kill the otherwise intense lemon aspen characters.

Lemon Aspen Syrup
Lemon Aspen Syrup is exciting as it can best be compared to a brand new citrus and we all know how popular and versatile ordinary lemon can be. The citrus flavour in our syrup is complemented with the menthol/eucalypt top notes characteristic of lemon aspen. This makes our product far more interesting than conventional citrus. So. How is it used? The obvious and simplest use is as a pour-over syrup for pancakes, desserts, ice cream and pastries. However, the syrup also complements poultry, pork and seafood, red meats and shellfish as a substitute for honey glazed dishes.

Mountain Pepper BBQ Sauce
Our Mountain pepper BBQ sauce is the same recipe as the product we launched in the USA called Kakadu Wildfire Pepper sauce. We have merely packaged it in soft, food grade spouted pouches to reduce the freight cost and risk of breakages for on-line orders. Mountain Pepper BBQ Sauce is the definitive Australian sauce for steaks, sausages (snags), kebabs, chops, ribs, roasts and mince – in all its forms.

Illawarra plums, freeze dried
Price = $14.50–$290.00
We supply commercial quantities of wild foods for chefs and manufacturers for new menu and product development. These include ingredients such as Wattleseed, lemon myrtle, pepperberry, bush tomato and others as well as superior blends, extracts, infused oils, freeze-dried fruits, confits, preserves and more.
While our products are stocked and distributed by many of the better food distributors and we recommend you to their service, many do not want to hold our entire range or just make it too difficult for us to work with them to help you. We lose our communication line to you, our real customer and can’t easily offer you our new products, special deals and usage information. So this website is the direct alternative.
Please scroll down to the Chefs/Manufacturer listings in the left hand column and then have a good look around to discover the unique qualities of the ingredients in our range.
We look forward to your custom and hope to service your needs and help you introduce your patrons to our wonderful flavours.
