What’s new

Plant-based ready meals

v2food has launched a range of ready-made meals that are now available in Woolworths. The products come in four varieties: Spaghetti Bolognese, Lasagne, Penne Bake and Chilli Con Carne. The plant-based meals are designed to replicate the texture, taste and smell of eating these classic meals but without the use of any meat, and can be heated up in the microwave. v2food.com

Non-alcoholic craft beer

Sobah produces non-alcoholic craft brew using native Australian ingredients. Brewed on Queensland’s Gold Coast, the beers use native plants to provide a range of flavours, such as pepperberry, wattleseed and finger lime. The products can be bought from select stockists around the country, and from the company’s website or in bars and pubs. sobah.com.au

Immunity-boosting tea

Arkadia Beverages’ Immunity Chai has been developed to help increase immunity during the cool winter months. Chai, ginger root and turmeric have been combined with black pepper to produce a tea with immune-boosting properties. The addition of vitamin C, zinc and iron is also intended as a way of boosting nutrition for the winter months. Plus, the tea has pre- and probiotics for gut health. With just 55 calories per serving, the tea is available now from Coles and Woolworths stores. arkadiabeverages.com.au

Yoghurt for a healthy gut microbiome

Vaalia’s Kefir range of lactose-free yoghurts uses 14 strains of beneficial bacteria to boost gut health but unlike traditional drinkable forms of kefir, these products have been developed for eating with a spoon. The combination of bacteria is designed to aid digestion and increase the level of healthy bacteria in the gut. The range is made without sugar and is available in five flavours: plain, vanilla, strawberry, mixed berry and mango. It can be bought at Woolworths and independent supermarkets now. vaalia.com.au

AI-developed milk

NotCo’s NotMilk is a plant-based milk that has been developed with the help of artificial intelligence software. The milk is designed to taste, smell and feel similar to animal-based products, as AI software has analysed the animal proteins in milk to find plant-based replacements for them. The milk can pair well with coffee thanks to its textural similarity to animal products. It’s available in Woolworths supermarkets around the country. notco.com

A unique gin

Heartbreak Gin from Bass and Flinders is fortified with Pinot Noir grapes, giving it a scarlet-red colour with a sweet flavour profile similar to the wine. The gin can be enjoyed neat or in cocktails and thanks to its winemaking hints, it can even pair with foods traditionally served with a glass of Pinot Noir. The gin is available now from selected bottle shops or online. bassandflindersdistillery.com
