THE SUPERFOODS

We have all heard of 'superfoods', but there really are some great products and concoctions that can make a real difference to our health and overall wellbeing - especially good to know in the winter season!  

A celebration of health and flavour, The Superfoods Session showcases nutrient-rich foods known for their health benefits.  It is a feast for the senses and a learning experience aimed at promoting wellbeing through delicious, healthful eating.  Plenty of great tips to add cleaner and more powerful foods and tonics into your life.

In this session Blue Petal Botanicals will introduce you to their range of herbs and tonics that will give you that extra boost, Franziska from Villa Bumblebee will explain the benefits of her fermented products, Bees R Us will showcase their honey, Treasured Morning will have their amazing breakfast (or any time snack!) superfood for you to try, Eat Kinda the cauliflower-based Ice Cream will surprise you, Planta will provide you with a hit of antioxidants and KPs Beef Jerky will provide a good hit of protein.

Sample offerings from these producers and join one of our special events to help you to level up your health game.

Treasured Morning - a product with ‘superfood’ in its description, Liz has spent a number of years perfecting this beautifully packaged breakfast food to ensure it is packed with only the best nutrient-dense and high protein ingredients.  Have a taste and find out how this superfood can be incorporated into your day.

Blue Petal Botanicals - Martina, the queen of tonics and herbs for health, will have you inspired by the many ways you can use herbs to boost your health.  Sample her range of honey, medicinal herbs and tonics.

Taranaki Fungi - experts in cultivating Oyster Mushrooms, understand their significant health benefits and many uses in the kitchen. These mushrooms are not only an excellent source of fiber, protein, vitamins, and minerals, but they also contain ergothioneine, an amino acid renowned for its powerful antioxidant properties.

Bumblebee Bakery - baking a variety of sourdough and recently producing batches of Kombucha, Franziska is providing the fermented foods our gut loves.  Find out where to get yours and perhaps have a chat about her upcoming sourdough classes.

EatKinda - ice cream with a cauliflower base!  This duo have had a lot of coverage from Breakfast TV, Newshub, RadioNZ, The West Australian and Asia Business Outlook among others.  Meet the team and taste this ice cream superfood to see what all the fuss is about.

Bees R Us - honey boasts many health benefits; it is an antioxidant powerhouse, great for skin and heart health and as a digestive aid. The Bees R Us team ensures their honey stays raw and authentic to every last mouthful.  Ask them for tips of how they use their different blends to help various health needs and ailments.

Planta - the Yerba Mate Leaf (used to make Mate tea and Planta’s sparkling drink) has been used for centuries by people in South America to boost mental and physical stamina.  It has been said to also offer the ‘strength of coffee, the health benefits of tea and the euphoria of chocolate’ - sounds like an all-round winner!  Visit the Planta team to try for yourself.

KPs Beef Jerky - Kevin’s jerky, available in two delectable varieties, classic original and fiery spicy piri pirI, is crafted from the finest, freshest ingredients. Honed over two decades, his recipe comes to life in small, carefully managed batches within a modern, specially designed facility nestled in the serene town of Oākura.

Mister K Gourmet Low Carb Krackers - Lisa and Rachel decided to create their own wholesome and nutritious crackers with key ingredients such as seeds and lupin flours.  Seeds are extremely nutritious and a great source of fibre. They also contain healthy monounsaturated fats, polyunsaturated fats and many important vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.  Their other important ingredient is lupin flour which has anti-inflammatory properties and is a good source of protein.  Chat to them about how they selected their ingredients for maximum health benefits.
