ALDI JustOrganic Basil & Garlic Pasta Sauce

Bought this product some time ago from ALDI and I believe it costs less than $4.00. Pasta sauce comes in handy when my partner and I want to make a quick meal and making a meal quick doesn't really mean it has to suffer on nutritional value and taste. You can see the end result, our home cooked paste in the last photo. Well, given that both of us are not Masterchef candidates hence please pardon our presentation skill. The taste is really good compare to other brands. I do like this product and the second bottle is already in the kitchen cupboard =)

Nature's Harvest Organic Chocolate Cookies

Nature Harvest's Organic Chocolate cookies, not commonly seen in general supermarket, I spotted this one in IGA yesterday. It is a product of New Zealand.

Organic Chocolate cookie

The word 'organic' is  used very loosely, seeing a word like 'organic' doesn't mean it doesn't contain artificial and unatural ingredients. As usual, I tend to look for certification first then having a deep dive into the ingredients. It is certified by biogro that is New Zealand leading organic certifier (http://www.biogro.co.nz).

Ingredients are all in english and no numbers!

The price is 180g for $5.70 which is about $31 for 1 kg. Expensive? I suppose it depends on one's perspective. I know I tend to go 'crazy' when I am hungry in late noon and will just swallow anything that is in front of me. In this case, I find it worth, at least what's going into my body is not full of preservatives and colourings when I am mindless.


Well, if one can pay thousands of dollars for luxury items, expensive cars etc, why not treat our body better too? :)

Use Ethical Paper - Paper that doesn't cost the Earth

This has nothing to do with organic food but given that it is a good message, I have decided to put it up.

Reflex uses cheap woodchips from Victorian native forests to make their paper and this cause impact on our climate, water and wildlife. We can use paper made from recycled post-consumer waste.

Please help to sign the petition.



Thanks to Narelle Chenery, Director of Miessence that raises our awareness on this.

Juicy Isle Organic Apple Juice

Well, the bottle is empty now, I have finished it obviously. It taste a bit different from other brands and I was a little put off in the beginning. However, just like other organic products. Sometimes we are too used to stuff with artificial colorings, preservative that we already do not know how the real thing taste like. Anyway, I finished the whole bottle , knowing how real apple juice can taste like.
It is from Tasmania. How toxic can it be?

For your thoughts

This post has nothing to do with organic. Somehow I like it and would like to share. It's great to see people care about what they eat.
Given said that, I have to say i am also guilty of eating these numbers at times. It's never easy to fight my own demon but I am glad I am increasing the victories by having more awareness. By reading my blog, I hope it raise yours too :-)

JustOrganic Wildberry Yogurt

I bought this JustOrganic Wildberry yogurt from ALDI. If i am not wrong, JustOrganic is ALDI's own brand, just like WoolWorths Select. There are other JustOrganic range of product and I am trying this yogurt out.
The taste is a bit sour, just like other yogurts but is sweeten by the berries and you can improve the taste by adding dried berries.
It costs $3 something, for a 500g, I think it's a pretty good deal.
It is certified by ACO.
