Anyone else see the 60 Minutes episode on Sunday and then go and look suspiciously at their pantry?

Nobody knows for sure how much harm microplastics do. Australia’s Academy of Health and Medical Sciences looked at it properly earlier in the year and their answer was basically “we can’t say yet” and recommend a precautionary approach.

What we do know is where a lot of it comes from. Packaging. And that’s the bit that got our attention. There’s a study that measured what happens when you just open a packet. Up to 250 plastic particles per centimetre are released. Just from opening it!

Don’t panic, you don’t need to rethink your entire pantry. Just fewer packets where it’s easy.

And we’ll be honest, some of our stock turns up in 25kg sacks made from plastic. It’s impossible to avoid 100% of the time. But thats one packet, opened once, instead of hundreds of individual packets opened at home.

Bring your jars along, we’ll weigh them so you only pay for what goes in. Or grab one of our paper bags and fill your jars at home. Easy.

We’re a small shop, which means someone chose every single thing on these shelves.

Not a buying algorithm, no shelving fee. Just us deciding what’s worth stocking.

Organic where it counts, Aussie grown where we can. Olive oil grown and pressed just up the hill. Local honey on tap. Nut butters ground in store. True Ceylon cinnamon not cassia. Lion’s mane, spirulina, beetroot powders (plus many more), the things people come in asking for, in the amount they actually want.

All of it loose. Bring a jar or grab one of ours. Take a tablespoon or take a kilo. You choose.

That’s the whole business really. Good ingredients, chosen carefully, sold in the amount that suits you.

To make a recipe, in this case, a muesli slice, you’d buy 3.5kg of ingredients. You’d use 628 grams.

Nine packets, $32.65 and 2.9kgs left over in the back of the pantry.

The same nine ingredients here, weighing exactly what you need: $12.33.

We’ll be straight with you, we’re not cheaper by the kilo. No body beats the majors on scale. We’re cheaper because you only buy what you’ll actually use.

And what most people don’t factor in, ingredients spoil over time. Nuts and seeds go rancid. Oats and flour get pantry moth, spices loose their flavour and your pantry’s full of things you bought for a recipe eighteen months ago. Not to mention the single use plastic packaging in the bin.

Recipe:
200g rolled oats
50g pepitas
50g sunflower seeds
50g shredded coconut
50g almonds, roughly chopped
75g sultanas
25g sesame seeds
1 tsp Ceylon cinnamon
pinch of salt
125g honey
100g butter or coconut oil

Heat oven to 160°C. Line a 20cm square tin, leaving paper overhanging.

Combine all the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Melt the butter and honey together in a small saucepan over low heat until just runny. Pour over the dry mix and stir until everything is coated.

Tip into the tin and press down very firmly, use the back of a spoon or the base of a glass. This is the step that determines whether you get slice or muesli.

Bake 20–25 minutes until golden at the edges. Cool completely in the tin before lifting out and cutting. Don’t rush this bit either.

Ingredients available loose in store in whatever amount you need.

Golden Elixir is the latest in our functional beverage range.

It’s a deliciously warming turmeric latte with a twist, we’ve added organic tremella mushroom powder (aka the beauty mushroom) prized for its hydrating properties.

I recently switched to ‘Golden’ as I tweaked the recipe and let me tell you, I’m hooked! It’s caffeine free so it’s a slower vibe to ease into the early morning.

If you’re not a fan of ginger or warming aromatics, this blend is not for you, it brings the flavour. If you do enjoy the lovely hit of heat ginger gives, I highly recommend you give this blend a try.

What’s in the bag? The quickest, easiest, and best value side dish you’ll ever make.

The Moroccan couscous pilaf recipe base is available in store now, and at only $7 it’s a pantry hero.

You literally can’t get this one wrong, heat your stock of choice, tip it in, stir, then chuck the lid on and leave it for 5 mins. They don’t come much easier than this.

Of course if you want to jazz it up a bit and add some roasted veg, feta, chickpeas, grilled chicken, fresh herbs etc, go right ahead, and I recommend you do. But of you just want a really tasty side dish with virtually zero effort, keep it simple and just use what’s in the bag.

As always, the ingredients are simple and real - no fillers, numbers or ultra processed ingredients, just the stuff you would use if you made it from scratch.

Oh, and it really does taste great, even my fussy taste tester agrees.

If you watched ABC’s Duped: Food Exposed, you’re probably already looking at the shelves in the supermarket with a new perspective.

Ultra-processed foods aren’t just the obvious stuff. They’re in a lot of things that look perfectly fine on the shelf, until you flip them over and read the ingredient list.

The good news, you don’t need to overhaul everything. The simplest shift is just buying ingredients instead of products. Real food that you recognise, in amounts you actually need.

Start small, think of some of the ‘ready-made’ foods you opt for often and try making them yourself with ingredients you trust. It can feel daunting at first but once you’ve nailed a few you’ll be on a roll.

We’re big on ingredients, just real food, no nasties and no label reading required. Grains, legumes, pasta, rice, nuts, seeds, spices, flours, this list goes on. All bought loose, your way.

And for the times you really do need something easy and on the table quick, we have a range of recipe bases that have absolutely no ultra-processed ingredients, just the stuff you’d use if you made it from scratch.

Find us at Shop 10, Dromana Hub Complex.

Another cheap, easy and delicious recipe you can whip up in mins.

We know you love granola so here’s a very basic recipe that’s clustery but not full of big chunks of nuts. So it’s popular with kids or anyone that has a hard time with hard nuts.

This recipe comes in at about $6 so way cheaper than the organic granola from the supermarket.

You can tweak this to add extra nuts, seeds coconut etc, switch out the PB for tahini for a nut free version. Use our Chofu nutty butter in place of the PB for a decadent chocolatey granola. Sub the oats for buckwheat or quinoa flakes for a GF version. Go wild and use your imagination.

The only real rules to follow are, low and slow temperature to avoid scorching and use 4 tablespoons of wet binder for each cup of dry ingredients. If your mix is too dry it won’t cluster.

Granola is one of easiest switches from store bought to homemade, once you’ve got a few batches under your belt you’ll be able to go off recipe and eyeball your ratios, which makes it even quicker and easier.

We’ve got everything in stock for your granola creations, so if you want to experiment this weekend, pop in and grab only the amount you actually need and enjoy some indoor activities.

Hot tip to save some $.

Home cooking can save serious cash when it comes to feeding the family and the trick to making your meals quick, easy and tasty is a well stocked spice rack.

A few chicken fillets become fajitas.
A can of chickpeas becomes a delicious coconut curry
A few spuds become tasty wedges
A pack of mince becomes meatballs full of flavour

You get the idea.

If you’ve got a good range of spices on hand, there’s no limit to the awesome dishes you can whip up with some simple fresh base ingredients.

If you’re not overly confident blending flavours or just want to make life a little easier, we have a range of ready made spice blends in store as well as individual spices.

Now for the real cost saving, we did some research and when it comes to herbs and spices, shopping bulk is far cheaper than the supermarket. Plus you only buy the amount you need, so if you’re trying something new, no need to commit to a full pack.

Come and check out the range in store. Always fresh, always free from preservatives and we’re always ready to talk recipe ideas with you.

Nourishing food shouldn’t be complicated or expensive. This recipe is neither and that’s why it’s my winter go to when I want something nutritious without the hassle, the fact it tastes like dessert for breakfast and only costs $2 is a bonus.

It’s one of those ‘no rules’ recipes, add whatever takes your fancy, protein powder, fruit, nut butter, chocolate chips, use your imagination and go wild!

The base recipe is simple
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 milk
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp baking powder (optional but gives a nice fluffy result)

I added cinnamon and vanilla bean which I can highly recommend.

Mix it all together then bake in the oven or air fryer for 15mins on 180. Then top with yoghurt, fruit, nuts, peanut butter, or whatever you like.

If you want to make a bigger batch and bake it in a tray, just multiply the base recipe.

This will keep you full for hours and really does taste incredible.
