Karuah Activated Turmeric
Turmeric is all the rave these days and most people are also aware that we need activated turmeric for it to be absorbed. Without being activated, less than 3% of the activity of the turmeric you may consume has any chance of being absorbed. We also include a raft of wild food ingredients (Illawarra plum, Rainforest lime, Kakadu plum, mountain pepper) for their significant support actions and the MSM for sulphur and pineapple bromelain make this a totally unique form of turmeric. See below for more information.

LIFE (Lyophilized Indigenous Food Essentials) – 1 month
You might be now like I was a while back: Low in energy with a workload that was to die for (literally).
Mentally foggy and in constant overwhelm made worse by reading books on time management and prioritizing tasks and other stuff that never worked for long.
Constantly hungry and not knowing about Hidden Hunger or how I was being driven by my gut microbiome and my own brain to keep eating, looking for nutrients that were missing from our modern foods.
I was lucky to actually work professionally in the nutritional analysis of Australian wild foods, bush foods some call them. I now refer to them as wild foods and they really are the antidote to modern foods.

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.

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.

Wild Foods by Vic Cherikoff
The sub-title for my newest book is: Looking back 60,000 years for clues to our future survival. Are the foods we source from supermarkets or even growers’ markets really providing the nutritional requirements we need to maintain good health? Wild Foods explores the consequences of eating a modern diet sprayed with pesticides, engineered for distribution and lacking in essential dietary fibre, proteins and micro-nutrients. You will find how wild foods can correct the imbalance and help us reach our ideal health.

Karuah Active Magnesium functional wild food blend 500g (1 month)
The dairy industry has been disguising the truth from us in saying that calcium is essential for healthy teeth and bones yet 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. It can’t get into our bone structural matrix unless we have an active, absorbable, effective form of magnesium to activate vitamin D which only then gets the calcium prepared for storage in our teeth and bones.
Magnesium is crucial in balancing calcium intake and we consume far too much calcium and insufficient magnesium. This increases the risk of calcium deposits in our soft tissues, in arteries and veins, in ducts and organs as stones. Tiny granules of calcium (calculi) are also sites of rogue cell growth.
But magnesium does so much more. It is part of the energy molecule, ATP and without this magnesium-bound ‘fuel’ we will feel physically tired, mentally overwhelmed or suffer a wide range of things from moodiness, migraines, muscle cramps, twitches, restless legs, poor blood glucose control, insulin resistance. All these varied conditions are because magnesium is essential for over 325 enzyme reactions and 500 other biochemical processes that power our lives.

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.
