New Year, new packaging!

I am celebrating the New Year here with some new packaging. Sustainability is one of my passions and I am constantly looking out for ways to improve the way the business works. The current Kraft paper pouches are lined with plastic and can be heat sealed (a requirement when selling food). As they are mixed materials they have to be disposed of in general waste. I have found some look alike pouches that are totally recyclable in the Redicycle Bins at your supermarket or washed and reused as a ziplock storage bag. Currently these will be only for the 60 and 90gm orders but as stock runs down I will replace the other sizes. The really good news is that they can be sourced in Australia, so I can be be confident about delivery expectations. If any of you have any links to compostable pouches, please let me know, I am on a mission!
 Tracking numbers for your orders  are in your personal confirmation email. Please check junk mail if you haven't seen one as it contains your instructions and free e book. 
I will be trading through the holiday period EXCEPT 3rd to 8th January when you may place orders but there will be no mailing out until the 10th.
It gives us great control over the quality and availability of food stuffs when we embrace 'make your own.'  Food security is becoming a world wide issue. Affordable plant based proteins offer a sustainable solution, especially when we can store beans and legumes with out refrigeration for long periods of time, and create a variety of easily digestible, high protein, vegan tempeh and tofu. 
There are concerns about protein content in diets that replace meat with legume products. The protein content of soy tempeh is the same as beef but with NO FAT. Lupin tempeh contains protein in higher levels than meat. The advantage of eating tempeh is that the protein is more available to absorption in the gut due to the fermentation process. 
Look after each other and stay well,​
Happy tempeh and tofu making everyone and may 2022 be kind to you and you to others.
Stay well,
Nirala

Tempeh starter: Tempeh was recognised by the government of Indonesia as a national cultural heritage in October 2017 and  will be proposed as a Unesco intangible cultural heritage in 2021. The of making rhizopus oligosporus (tempeh starter) has been a closely guarded cultural secret. Please note: there is no production of rhizopus oligosporus in Australia.
Our tempeh starter is pre mixed with rice flour to ensure even distribution of mycelium growth in your tempeh. 

Tofu Coagulants: Food grade, sourced and packaged in Australia. 

Packaging: We have reduced the amount of paper and plastic used by changing to lined unbleached Kraft paper pouches for starters and coagulants, heat sealed and with best before dates. (Best before dates are a guideline only and can be extended by keeping your starter in the freezer.) We have changed to envelopes made from 100% recycled paper and are constantly working to source more environmentally friendly packaging, baskets and presses.
