THE EARTH
Harvested from the nutrient-rich
waters of Tasmania’s Oyster
Bay, Tasman Sea Salt is rich in
potassium and has less sodium
than other salts. But, above all,
the bay’s marine minerals give it
an incredible depth of flavour.
Now, as well as regular pure
white salt flakes, it’s available
in must-try Tasmanian
Pepper Berries and Wakame
Seaweed. Find out more at
tasmanseasalt.com/shop/GREAT SHAKES!
Sprinkle your way to great meals with
the new Stock Powders range from
Continental. Its four flavours, including
Chicken and Beef in regular as well as
reduced-salt options, are all-natural and
enhanced with extra meat content. And,
when teamed with the clever sprinkle or
scoop lid, which ensures portion control
and reduces waste, they have dinners
covered. For more, visit continental.com.auAWWWFOOD•ISSUE TWENTY THREE
