SUPER FOODS

TO FIGHT WINTER BEAT OF COLDS AND FLU Want to ward off coughs and colds this winter? These super foods pack a powerful immune boosting punch. Build them into your diet and enjoy a sniffle free winter season

Probiotics Our bodies are full of bacteria, but not all of them are bad. Take probiotics. Live bacteria and yeasts, they help our gut and immune systems function properly.

Available in tablet, capsule, and powder forms, they’re also present in probiotic yogurt, miso and tempeh. Get a daily boost by serving probiotic yogurt with warm, stewed fruit like stewed rhubarb.

Vitamin C Well known for its cold fighting capabilities, Vitamin C helps our immune cells function while protecting them from damage. Not just great for an oncoming cold, it also helps prevent and treat upper respiratory tract infections by reducing levels of histamines. Look for it in fruits including oranges, lemons, limes, kiwis, and strawberries, as well as veggies including broccoli, parsley, sweet potato, tomato and red capsicums. Top tip: Vitamin C in fruits and veggies can be destroyed through transport, cooking and storage. To ensure you don’t let that Vitamin C get away, buy your fruit and veggies as fresh as possible, cook minimally (or blanch), and store in a dark, cool environment.

PAG E 1 0

SUPER FOODS

Prebiotics The perfect complement to probiotics, prebiotics also feed the good bacteria in your gut. This helps create a healthy environment for immune cells, keeping us cold free all year long. Cereal and bread are great sources of prebiotics, as are artichokes, asparagus, bananas, onions, leek and garlic.

Cumin Spices don’t just make your food taste fabulous, they’re good for you too!

Research has shown ground cumin is particularly good for immunity. Luckily, it’s easily added to everyday foods like curries, soups, sauces and stews. Throw in lots of veggies and you’ll be a cold fighting force to be reckoned with

Vitamin A A powerful infection fighter, Vitamin A helps keep the lining of your digestive tract healthy. Commonly found in orange coloured foods, it’s present in carrots, pumpkin and sweet potato, as well as eggs

Zinc Fighting everything from the common cold, to pneumonia and acute respiratory tract infections, zinc is the ultimate winter warrior. You can also get your daily dose in oysters, red meat, poultry, pork, seafood and dairy products. Small amounts are present in beans, nuts, sunflower and pumpkin seeds, whole grains and even cucumber peel.

PAG E 1 1

SUPER FOODS

Red Capsicum Red Capsicum is said to have twice the Vitamin C of Citrus and a great source of beta carotene which is good for skin and eye health.

Garlic The Most well know of our cold busters, the key ingredient found in Garlic is allicin, which fights infection and bacteria.

Shellfish Crabs, lobsters, oysters, clams and mussels all contain healthy levels of Zinc which is great for clearing infections. Be careful as too much zinc can actually be counter productive, and pregnant women probably should avoid shellfish

Broccoli and Spinach Both of these have high levels of Vitamins A,C and E, and are packed with fibre, and can be included in just about any dish.

Also great uncooked, the less they are cooked, the more nutrients they retain.

PAG E 1 2

PAG E 1 3

Mushrooms Known as the great all rounder. Mushrooms are also an important source of B vitamins, for healthy nerve function, folate for cell division and crucial during pregnancy, potassium, an essential electrolytes and selenium, a powerful antioxidant that helps protect against free radical damage

Turmeric & Curcumin.

Tumeric, has been known to contain medicinal compounds like Curcumin, which is the main ingredient in Tumeric. Thought to be great to prevent colds and fight colds once you have one.

Ginger If you already have the cold give Ginger a try, its thought Ginger reduces symptoms as it has many anti inflamatory properties and can even help symptoms such as nausea.

TIPS to get your kids eating HEALTHIER It’s seems kids have an insatiable appetite, especially for the sweeter things in life, it’s our job as parents to ensure kids are getting more nutricious food than junk food.

You may ask yourself how can they eat so much? junk food generally has nothing to sustain your child, once eaten its quickly burnt off so they are back for more. The only part of junk food that stays in their system are the nasty fats and sugars that contribute to obesity and diabetes.

Out of sight, out of mind When you kids look in the pantry what do they see? chips, lollies, cakes? Rearranging the pantry is a good first step to help manage junk food consumption. Move the stuff you do not want the kids eating to another location and replace it with stuff you do want them to eat.

Substitute Yummy does not need to be junk. You can find a lot of products that are like treats but much healthier, museli bars, healthy chips, flavoured yoghurts, juice instead of soft drink, the replacements don’t need to be 100% healthy, just somewhat healthier than the full fat, full salt, full sugar junk food options.

Portion Sizes Kids can get overwhelmed when they see a huge plate of dinner which includes meat, veg, potatoe. Kids don’t need huge meals, most will eat the meat, then pototoe and then veg - if they can fit it in. How many times have you noticed the vegies left behind. Try serving smaller portions, better chance everything will be eaten, vegies included.

Easy Kids love the easy grab and go snack, do you have fruit bowl well stocked? a great looking fruit bowl in enticing for a grab and go snack. Fruit is also yummy cold from the fridge and cut into slices.

When sitting around the TV you may usually grab the chips, try slicing an apple or two for all to share.

Fruit also offers a great variety, so mix it up, don’t have the same stuff week in week out.

PAG E 1 7

F E AT U R E

Dont ask - just - do

Cook with the kids

I’m hungry they call out while watching TV, what do you want I ask ? pleasing them may be as easy as throwing in the bag of chips but remember you are the parent, you can simply deliver what you want them to eat.

Kids love eating their own cooking- let them cook- select reasonably healthy recipes -buy good ingredients and away go. Its great fun for all involved, generally cheaper to have home made goods to eat.

Lunchbox

A little effort

You should be in charge of the lunchbox, don’t ask or you will be packing all sorts of treats and less good foods. Cellery or carrot sticks or fun vegies and fruit should be in every lunch box.

Nutricion Australia recently launched Health Lunch Box Week which has a range of great ideas for preparing a great lunchbox. www.nutritionaustralia.org

Arranging food into shapes and animals also makes eating food fun, especially for the younger kids. Its super easy, making the shapes can also be fun for you.

Drinks Water is always best but always the last thing kids seem to want. Try squeezing a little lemon juice into cold water, just enough to give the water a fresh twist, too much lemon and it will just be sour. Cold water, icecubes and lemon is super refreshing, give it a go on your kids you may be surprised.

Interesting Now that’s

DID YOU KNOW

THAT SOME OF OUR FAVOURITE WINTER VEGETABLES ARE MAN MADE? Well, it is true, you will not find Broccoli or cauliflower growing in the wild anywhere.

Broccoli and Cauliflower were first grown long ago after growers realised they could get creative and develop new vegetables through “selective breeding.”

I won’t go into all the technical breeding details, although it is interesting how they were able to identify what characteristics like seed type, leaf size and bud density could be manipulated to deliver a totally new vegetable.

PAG E 2 2

Broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, kale, and brussels sprouts are all man-made, variation from wild mustard, also known as wild cabbage. They are now the most popular veggies in the cruciferous family.

These days, most if not all any of the fruits and vegetables on our supermarket shelves have gone through various modifications over time. A lot of current day vegetables don’t look how they used to in the early days, apparently early day tomato’s only grew as big as a cherry, carrots were initially purple, corn only had a few kernels and had very little nutritional value.

Many think this interference is just not right, but the growers will tell you that before humans were modifying fruits and vegetables the bee’s and other insects were doing all the modifications with cross pollination, so the current growers are just continuing with a nature based trend.

A MORE RECENT VARIETY IS BROCCOLINI WHICH IS A HYBRID BETWEEN BROCCOLI AND CHINESE BROCCOLI. SEE MORE NEW VARIETIES ON NEXT PAGE.

LET’S TURN FOOD WASTE AROUND TOGETHER 1. PACK IT. STACK IT. CHILL IT.

7 SIMPLE WAYS TO UNWASTE FOOD

Store your food right to make it last longer. A few small changes—like keeping milk at the back of the fridge or spuds in the dark - go a long way.

2. FLEXI MEAL PLANNING

Planning meals helps you waste less - but keep it flexible. Leave space in your week for leftovers, cravings or last-minute takeaway.

3. JOIN THE LEFTOVERS REVOLUTION Leftovers can be magic. Reinvent last night’s curry or pasta for a quick lunch, or give it a twist and turn it into something new.

PAG E 2 6

E

Every year, the average Aussie household throws away 2.5 million tonnes of food – that's roughly 7.7 million meals every single day (over $2,500 per household each year).

That’s fresh fruit, veggies, leftovers, bread and pantry staples —straight in the bin. It’s a waste of money, effort, and precious resources.

But the good news? We can turn this around - starting in our own kitchens.

The Great Unwaste is a nationwide movement helping Australians waste less and save more - money, time, and the planet. With just a few simple behaviour shifts, anyone can make a big difference.

Mandy Hall, Campaign Director at End Food Waste Australia, says food waste isn’t intentional - but it’s more common than we realise.

4. FIRST IN. FIRST OUT.

Use older food first and rotate new groceries to the back. A sad carrot won’t improve with age—use it while you can.

7. SAVE ROOM FOR SECONDS

Serve smaller portions to start. If you’re still hungry, go back for seconds. If not, save it for tomorrow.

5. STICK TO YOUR LIST

Write a list and stick to it. It saves time, cuts down impulse buys, and helps you only bring home what you need.

6. COOK JUST RIGHT

By checking how many people are eating, how hungry they are and recommended serving sizes, there are easy ways to prepare just the right amount.

PAG E 2 7

YOU CAN HELP UNWASTE AUSTRALIA The Great Unwaste is encouraging Australians to take control of their food waste. Whether you’re a batch-cooking pro or just learning how to store your herbs, there’s a place for you in this movement.

Join The Great Unwaste today and help stop good food from going to waste. Because small changes add up to something big.

This impressive no bake cheesecake with its vibrant layers and incredible flavour, it elevates the humble cheesecake to an entirely new level and is well worth the effort!

INGREDIENTS Base 150g plain sweet biscuits, such as Marie biscuits 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon ground ginger 100g unsalted butter, melted Filling 2 punnets (250g) Driscoll's blueberries 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice ½ cup (110g), plus 2 tablespoons caster sugar ¼ cup (60ml) cold water 3 teaspoons powdered gelatine 500g cream cheese, at room temperature, coarsely chopped 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 250g mascarpone 300ml pure cream, whipped to soft peaks Blueberry sauce 2 tablespoons caster sugar 2 tablespoons, plus 2 teaspoons cold water 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice 2 punnets (250g) blueberries 1 teaspoon arrowroot

METHOD 1. Grease a 20cm round spring form pan with oil and line with

baking paper.

2. To prepare the base, place the biscuits, cinnamon and ginger in a food processor and blend until finely ground. Add the butter and process to combine. Tip into prepared pan and using the back of a spoon press into the base to make an even layer.

Refrigerate for 15 minutes, or until firm.

3. To prepare the filling, place the blueberries, lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of the sugar in a medium saucepan. Set over low heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium and simmer for 5 minutes, or until juice reduces to a thick syrup. Using a stick blender, puree the blueberries.

Transfer into a small bowl and set aside to cool.

4. Place the water in a small saucepan. Sprinkle the gelatine in an even layer over the surface. Set aside for 10 minutes, to soften.

5. Meanwhile, using an electric mixer beat the cream cheese, remaining sugar and vanilla together until smooth. Add the mascarpone and beat to combine.

6. Gently heat the softened gelatine, until dissolved.

7. Add 1 large spoonful of the cream cheese mixture to the gelatine and stir to combine. Add gelatine cream to the remaining cream cheese mixture and beat to combine.

8. Add 1 large spoonful of whipped cream to the cheese mixture and stir to combine. Fold in the remaining cream. Transfer onethird of the mixture into a small bowl and set aside.

9. Add the blueberry puree to remaining mixture. Stir well to combine. Pour into the prepared base. Spread to make an even surface. Cover and freeze for 10 minutes, or until set slightly.

10. Dot the reserved plain cream cheese mixture over the blueberry filling. Spread to make a smooth even surface.

Refrigerate.

11. To prepare the blueberry sauce, place the sugar, 2 tablespoons of the water and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Simmer over low-medium heat for 2 minutes, or until sugar dissolves. Add the blueberries and simmer for 2 minutes, or until some of the berries begin to burst. Blend the arrowroot with the remaining water in a small bowl. Stirring continuously, gradually pour arrowroot into the hot blueberries. Cook for 30 seconds, or until sauce thickens. Transfer into a small bowl and set aside to cool completely.

12. Once cooled, pour the blueberry sauce over the cheesecake, spreading to cover the entire surface. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.

To serve, slice with a hot knife.

Alternatively, for a quicker option try a plain blueberry cheesecake; simply add the blueberry puree to all of the cream cheese mixture. Pour into the base and set in the refrigerator.

Serve plain or top with blueberry sauce, if desired.

A variety of store-bought flatbreads can be used, including pizza bases, pita, Turkish bread or naan! Wraps and tortillas are not recommended as they are generally too thin to hold the toppings.

2 Caramelised onions can be found in the pickles and condiments section of most major supermarkets and specialty food stores. They can also be made by slowly cooking with olive oil and a pinch of salt over low-medium heat for 50-60+ minutes or until soft and deeply golden brown.

Just be sure to stir every few minutes to prevent onions from burning.

METHOD Make the meat sauce

Assemble the lasagne

1. In a large, heavy-based pot, heat the oil over medium-low heat. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes until softened and lightly golden.

2. Add the carrot, thyme and garlic, and cook for another 5 minutes.

3. Add the sausage meat and sauté for 4-5 minutes or until browned.

4. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes. Deglaze with the red wine and cook until reduced by half.

5. Add the canned tomatoes, season to taste, cover with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes to prevent sticking to base.

2. Spread a third of the béchamel over the lasagna sheet, then top with a third of the remaining meat sauce.

Repeat the layering twice more, finishing with a final layer of lasagna sheet.

3. Spread the remaining meat sauce on top.

Make the Béchamel 1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the flour and stir continuously for 3-4 minutes to form a roux.

2. Remove from heat and slowly whisk in the milk until smooth. Return to low heat, add the bay leaves and whisk continuously for 8-10 minutes until thick.

3. Remove from heat, quickly whisk in the Parmesan and season to taste.

Bake the Lasagne 1. Preheat a fan-forced oven to 180°C. 2. Finely chop or shred the mozzarella and sprinkle it evenly over the top, followed by an even layer of Parmesan.

3. Cover with foil and bake for 40-50 minutes.

4. Remove the foil (scrape off any cheese stuck to it and return it to the top of the lasagne) and bake for a further 30 minutes until golden brown.

5. Let the lasagne stand for 20-30 minutes before serving.

New research from Roy Morgan reveals 73% of Australians would be willing to buy more Australian-made products to avoid reliance on imports, with seven in ten (72%) willing to pay more for locally-made goods.

Commissioned by Australian Made Campaign Ltd (AMCL) in the lead up to the recent Australian Made Week.

The research revealed that 67% intend to purchase more Australianmade products in the next 12 months.

Australian Made Chief Executive Ben Lazzaro said recent global economic uncertainty and challenging market conditions have highlighted the importance of supporting Australia’s manufacturers and producers. Roy Morgan CEO Michele Levine said “Cost of living pressures may challenge some people to purchase Australian-made, especially for everyday items. But our research shows if each household spent an extra $10 weekly on Australian-made

10,000 AUSSIE JOBS.

products, an additional $5.6 billion would be generated and could create almost 10,000 new jobs,”.

IN OTHER FINDINGS: • Of those willing to pay more for Australian-made goods, 50% are willing to pay up to 10% more.

• Females are more likely to buy Australian made products compared to males (47% vs 39%).

• Consumers in country areas (48%) are also much more likely to buy Australian-made products.

• 89% of Australians believe more manufacturing should be undertaken in Australia.

• 99% of Australians recognise the green and gold Australian Made logo.

• 93% are confident products displaying the logo are genuinely Australian.

World Chocolate Day

World Chocolate Day is celebrated annually on July 7. Hang on I hear you say, “isn’t it the 13th September?” or a raft of other dates that the chocolate industry push as World Chocolate Day. Well yes there are a few chocolate days on the calendar, but most are National days.

WORLD CHOCOLATE DAY or International chocolate day as it’s also know is July 7.

Why July 7, Chocolate was said to have been first introduced into Europe on July 7, 1550.

My mind wanders back to the first chocolate vendor explaining to customers what it’s all about, its brown, sticky, no nutrients, looks like mud, why not buy some.

What ever the sales pitch was it worked, we are now a world full of chocolate lovers, we can’t seem to get enough.

In my opinion this day should be celebrated, I love chocolate, I love everything about chocolate, I love the word chocolate. I am not surprised there is an International day celebrating this treat, and before you can say chocolate PAG E 6 2

is bad for you, and I concede there may be reasons not to eat chocolate, I think on this one day we should be able to eat it without thinking of negativity about this delicious treat. So on this special day I say.

MICROPLASTICS

HEALTHY LIVING Avoiding Microplastics in the Kitchen MICROPLASTICS ARE TINY FRAGMENTS OF PLASTIC LESS THAN 5MM IN SIZE THAT ARE FOUND IN MANY OF THE EVERYDAY ITEMS WE USE. Recently, research has shown that microplastics can be found in unexpected places like the human brain, breast milk and even throughout the testicles and semen. While scientists are still collecting information on how this occurs, the particles have been linked to health problems such as cancer and reproductive system issues.

PAG E 67

MICROPLASTICS

KITCHENS ARE AREA WHERE PLASTICS OFTEN LURK.

Here are some simple swaps to reduce your exposure to microplastics in the kitchen: SWITCH TO LOOSE-LEAF TEA: Instant tea bags often contain a type of plastic that can break down in our beverage.

CHOOSE WOODEN CUTTING BOARDS: Plastic cutting boards can shed microplastics.

REPLACE PLASTIC WRAPS WITH BEESWAX WRAPS: Beeswax wraps are a reusable and eco-friendly alternative to cling film, helping to reduce plastic waste in your kitchen.

GLASS CONTAINERS OVER PLASTIC. USE WOODEN OR SILICONE UTENSILS: Plastic spatulas and kitchen tools break down over time.

SWITCH TO NATURAL SPONGES: Conventional sponges are made from synthetic materials like polyester and plastic.

AVOID FREEZING IN PLASTIC CONTAINERS: Freezing food in plastic containers can cause the plastic to become brittle, releasing microplastics into your food. Try using glass or metal containers for freezing and switch to metal ice cube trays instead of plastic ones.

CHOOSE STAINLESS STEEL FOR KIDS’ DISHES: Many kids’ plates, cups, and utensils are made from plastic. When possible, choose stainless steel or non-plastic alternatives to reduce their exposure to microplastics.

BUY IN BULK: Purchasing products in bulk helps to reduce single-use plastic packaging.

FUTURE IS HERE

THE AI TROLLEY What a great way to promote Australian owned and made and make shoppers aware of the origins of their purchases.

It also raises the question of the future of staffed checkouts and how many jobs will be lost as a result of the “convenience” similar to the self-scan checkouts that may be phased out. In a pioneering move within Australia's retail sector, Coles has introduced artificial intelligence (AI)-powered smart shopping trolleys at its Richmond Traders store in Melbourne. Developed in collaboration with North American grocery technology company Instacart, these innovative trolleys aim to enhance the shopping experience by integrating advanced technology directly into the shopping process. Woolworths has also been trialling smart shopping trolleys equipped with AI technology, self-scanning, and in-cart payments, aiming to provide a seamless "scan and go" experience. Additionally, Woolworths

has expanded the use of AI technology in selfcheckouts across multiple stores, though this has sparked debates about customer privacy and the perception of increased surveillance.

The introduction of AI-powered shopping trolleys by Coles represents a significant step towards integrating advanced technology into everyday shopping. While these innovations offer numerous benefits, including increased efficiency and personalized experiences, they also present challenges that retailers must address to ensure broad customer acceptance and trust. This presents an opportunity for promoting Australian Owned and Made products in their marketing and in trolley screens. Imagine if every product you scanned explained the origin of the product and the source of its ingredients.

PAG E 7 1

AI TROLLEYS

HOW THE AI-POWERED TROLLEYS OPERATE The smart trolleys, known as Caper Carts, are equipped with a range of features designed to streamline the shopping journey: REAL-TIME SCANNING AND WEIGHING: As customers place items into the trolley, built-in sensors and an in-cart scale automatically identify and weigh products, eliminating the need for manual barcode scanning.

DIGITAL DISPLAY: An interactive screen provides real-time updates on selected items, allowing shoppers to monitor their spending and view in-store promotions.

INTEGRATED PAYMENT SYSTEM: Once shopping is complete, customers can pay directly via the trolley’s payment terminal, bypassing traditional checkout lines for a more efficient experience.

LOYALTY PROGRAM INTEGRATION: By scanning their Flybuys card or Coles app, shoppers can access personalized offers and instantly view in-store specials on the trolley’s digital screen.

REVIVAL UNDER NEW AUSTRALIAN OWNERSHIP IN A CELEBRATED MOVE TOWARDS BOLSTERING AUSTRALIAN BUSINESS OWNERSHIP THE ICONIC KING ISLAND DAIRY HAS RETURNED TO LOCAL HANDS. The dairy, renowned for its premium cheeses, was acquired from Canadian company Saputo

by King Island Dairy 2 Pty Ltd, a consortium led by Melbourne-based entrepreneurs Nick Dobromilsky and Graeme Wilson.

This acquisition not only preserves the legacy of the 122-year-old dairy but also safeguards approximately 60 jobs on King Island. The comprehensive deal encompasses the King Island Dairy facility, its esteemed brand, an on-site cheese store, and two local farms housing 2500 cows across 1700 hectares.

This ensures a continuous and dedicated milk supply for the dairy’s operations. The new owners have expressed a commitment to revitalizing the brand, with plans to innovate and expand the product range after a period of stagnation. Dobromilsky, bringing his extensive experience in the cheese industry, intends to relocate to King Island to oversee product development and quality enhancements.

The Tasmanian Government has played a pivotal role in facilitating this transition, providing over $10 million in support.

PA G E 74

This includes a $2.5 million grant for facility upgrades, as well as stamp duty and payroll tax relief. Additionally, a concessional loan of up to $15 million has been extended to ensure the sustainability and growth of the dairy under its new ownership. Premier Jeremy Rockliff’s commitment to regional businesses and local employment has been instrumental in securing this outcome.

King Island Dairy's product lineup boasts a variety of award-winning cheeses that have delighted consumers both locally and internationally. Among their TOP-SELLING PRODUCTS ARE: BRIE: A soft white cheese known for its creamy texture and rich flavour.

CAMEMBERT: Another soft cheese offering a delicate and smooth taste.

ROARING FORTIES BLUE: An awardwinning blue cheese celebrated for its robust flavour and creamy consistency.

TRIPLE CREAM: An indulgent cheese with an extra creamy profile.

CHEDDAR VARIETIES: Including both traditional and flavoured options that cater to diverse palates.

COMMUNITY

CLEAN UP AUSTRALIA DAY 2025 our BIGGEST EVER Clean Up! 800,000 volunteers cleaned up their local communities on Clean Up Australia Day

On our 35th anniversary over 800,000 volunteers come together to help keep their local communities clean across more than 8,000 Clean Up events from the Tiwi Islands in the Northern Territory, right down to Abels Bay in Tasmania.

Chair of Clean Up Australia PIP KIERNAN said: Community volunteers and local school students were joined by Olympians Sam Fricker and Lisa Darminin on Sydney Harbour with members of the Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron and Sydney by Kayak in a nod to Clean Up Australia founder Ian Kiernan AO who held the first Clean Up Sydney Harbour Event in 1989. Its success led to it becoming a national event in 1990.

To celebrate the 35th anniversary, volunteers were treated to delicious cakes at three team events across the country – and those cakes looked delightful, complete with Clean Up gloves and decorated icing bins! A shout-out also to Cleanaway who assisted by providing skip bins for key sites. Not to mention the always incredible Windgap Foundation team who packed 15,000 Clean Up kits!

All in all, we want to say:

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

Once again, we are overwhelmed by the strength of the community, coming together to Clean Up this vast country.
