We’ve worked a delicious new twist into our Baked Yam & Brussels Sprout Sals this morning with a gorgeous H**p & ACV Bail Dressing!
We’ve whisked up a creamy H**p Farm New Zealand H**p Heart & H**p Seed Oil dressing with a touch of ACV, a wee splash of Dark Agave & a loaded it with 3 types of Basil Microgreens 1 from tinyspacegreenz & two others grown right here at The Pantry! The result? A delicious, creamy & fresh flavour punch that elevates one of our already most-popular winter salads and provides a health kick to help see you through these chilly days fighting fit!

Kia ora, foodies! 🌱✨

Ever looked at your jar of store-bought kimchi or plant-based yogurt and thought, "I wonder if I could make this at home?"

There is something so magical about cultivating your own gut-friendly, probiotic-rich foods. It is better for your microbiome, lighter on your wallet, and incredibly satisfying!

We are thinking about putting together some hands-on DIY fermentation workshops (or beginner-friendly starter kits!), and we want to build them around exactly what you want to learn.

Help us out!

Which of these DIY projects are you already making, or desperate to learn?
