This product has been a home favorite lately because of its health reason. My partner and I are tea lovers, although we aren't very conscious about caffeine intake but still we would keep it to a minimum if we could.
Rooibos tea contains no caffeine and rich in antioxidants. It is a popular drink in Southern Africa. If you google 'Rooibos tea benefits', you will find many sites explaining the great benefits this tea brings.
At the meantime, I am enjoying mine now :)
Love For Organics - an unofficial blog on organic products
"I first started to use organic food, skin care, hair care and other products in 2007 and have been enjoying them wholeheartedly ever since. As my interests in leading an organic lifestyle grows, it also came to my realisation that not many people around me are aware of the many wonderful organic products available to them...right here in Melbourne! This prompted me to share with you my experiences and enjoyment in using such beautiful food and products, in the most natural way."

JustOrganic Certified Organic Full Cream Milk - $1.99 at ALDI
If you are looking for affordable organic milk, this might be your choice. For $1.99 per litre, it is really low price compare to Pura or Elgar which I mentioned in my previous post.
Taste aspect, I find it not as creamy as Elgar. Having said that Elgar is almost double the price of this one.
No matter what you choose, as long as you are drinking certified organic milk, you know that the cows are treated humanly and the milk has nothing else but milk.

MKR chef, Manu Feildel chooses organic eggs and chicken
Manu On Organic
"I know that organic is quite expensive and not everyone can afford it, but there are two things that I buy organic all the time and they are eggs and chicken. They just taste better and look better. "
Also, check out Manu's mum's quiche lorraine recipe on today's Herald Sun.

elgaar organic full cream milk
If you think milk no longer tastes like milk that you used to drink when you were a kid, perhaps you might want to give elgaar a try. It brings back my childhood memories of how milk should taste like.
elgaar full cream milk is from Tasmania, certified organic and is selling at $3.95 per 750ml at Paddlewheel store in Prahran market. The great thing is if you return the glass bottle to Paddlewheel, you can get back a refund of 60 cents. Cost savings and environment friendly to recycle.

Clyne Organic Sundried Sultanas
Well, I admit I have been quite slacked in September to update the blog. I am going to blame it on the three weeks overseas holiday that I took to get away from the routine.
Ok, back to our beautiful organic products, the latest one that I have tried lately is Clye Organic Sundried Sultanas. I kinda of think it's pretty normal these days for anyone to munch snacks during tea break (or anytime!) in office, I'm one of them. Although I don't neccessary snack everyday, I do see many co-workers get tempted by the wicked stuff in the vendening machine and I do wonder if they know they are paying a premium price but yet eating perhaps a less healthier choice. If they do then I guess they just want to let go of themselves once a while.
I am not a fan of vending machine snacks so I bought the sultanas this month. It is 99% fat free, no added sugar, 100% Australian fruits and Australian owned.
If you are concern about sugar intake, 72g out of 100g is sweet however this is natural sugar so I would say as what most people believe, take all food in moderation.
For storing, make sure you keep them in a cool dark place in an airtight container to prevent pantry moths or weevils or you can also keep in the fridge.
Lastly, I have been enjoying these yummy sultanas :)

Australia's Organic Certifiers
Consumers are protected by common law in Australia if
they purchase a certified organic product that displays an organic
certification symbol such as the ACO Bud logo. When consumers see one of these
symbols they can be sure that the product complies with the Standard AS
6000-2009 Organic and biodynamic products.
There are eight certifying bodies in Australia, all
of which have their own standards. However, all these standards must act as
minimum meet the baseline domestically focused AS 6000-2009, while most
have additional requirement for their producers to meet.
Why are organic products certified?
- Protects consumers against deception and fraud in the marketplace
- Protects producers of genuine organic produce against misrepresentation of conventional produce as being organic
- Ensures that all stages of production, processing and marketing are subject to inspection and meeting the predetermined requirements of the organic standard
Source: Article "Protecting
consumers and genuine producers from fraud" in Organic Victoria magazine
(http://www.organicvictoria.com.au/).
Thanks to Malcolm McGuire, editor of
Organic Victoria for allowing me to use the materials from the magazine.
