green rice 500g
forbidden foods
Named after its appealing green appearance, green rice is flavourful, nutrition rich and easy to cook. Taste and smell the goodness! Green rice is an organic short grain brown rice, infused with bamboo extract. Completely unique and innovative, the team at Forbidden Foods are proud to be the only business in Australia offering this type of rice. It is an exciting experience that really livens up the traditional brown rice and white rice grain. The infusion of the bamboo extract gives the organic brown rice a lovely subtle greentea flavour and aroma, with a mild nutty texture. It’s also parboiled (partially cooked) so it requires no soaking and reduces your preparation time while retaining all its natural health benefits, plus it cooks in only 20 minutes! The beautiful leafy green colour is retained when cooked. It works well in sushi and risottos due to its sticky profile, but works just as well in everyday rice dishes. We think it would make an outstanding addition to your chilli con carne base and with just a few other ingredients, your gluten free dinner is complete – entrée, dinner and dessert! Check out their website for recipe inspiration and their full range of colourful rices. where to reorder www.forbiddenfoods.com.au ingredients parboiled brown rice infused with bamboo extract.

PINOT NOIR chocolate 45g
Daintree Estates
Australian grown chocolate infused with real Australian wine. A match made in heaven! The high cocoa content will have you reaching for more. Daintree Estates chocolate is made in Australia, by Australians from cocoa grown in tropical Far North Queensland by Australian farmers. It is the first commercially produced chocolate in the world to be made from cocoa grown in Australia. This means that they do not qualify for Fairtrade accreditation because the cocoa is grown locally, and all manufacturing is done here. Fairtrade accreditation is only available to third world countries, which of course Australia is not. Their growers, staff and contractors are all paid fairly in line with Australian labour laws which protect exploitation, underage labour and slavery. You can eat Daintree Estates chocolate with the peace of mind knowing that everybody involved is treated and paid fairly. As a co op, Daintree Estates growers are paid for their pods, as well as receiving a dividend from the chocolate sales. Rochford Winery of the Yarra Valley region is a producer of some fantastic wines, this Pinot Noir being one of them, picked in March and stored for 8 months in French Oak. where to reorder www.daintreeestates.com ingredients Raw Australian sugar, cocoa butter, milk solids, Australian cocoa beans, cocoa liquor, sunflower lecithin, natural vanilla flavour, currants, pinot noir flavour.
