This is our newest confit product and is spectacularly delicious. We slice the Illawara plums and cure them in our unique glucose and trehalose mixture to produce a syrupy, deep purple, fully flavoured plum confit. Illawarra plum confit is great on artisan bread, damper, pancakes or waffles. Add some to sauces for the rich plum-pine characters and intense deep plum colour. You can even just spoon some over roasted meats as a garnish. Complementary flavours include garlic, ginger, wasabi, pine nuts, coconut cream.

The deep purple colour of Illawarra plum sauce comes from anthocyanins which are antioxidants and therefore highly beneficial to your health so not only do Illawarra plum products taste great but they are good for you too. The flavour of Vic Cherikoff’s Illawarra plum sauce is plum-like but with the characteristic resinous pine flavour of the fruits of this coastal rainforest tree (also known as the brown pine plum). To enhance and develop this flavour component, a terrific garnish for any dish finished with Illawarra plum sauce is toasted pine nuts.

We are currently freeze-drying to order due to the demand for this product in our LIFE superfood and the other uses in the Karuah nutritional boosters range.

Our Kakadu plum freeze dried is made from the world’s highest fruit source of vitamin C. Please read the description below for more information and the possible concerns of which you need to be aware when sourcing this product.

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.

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.

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.
