What’s new?*

Co-op grown

Fresh in this week kohlrabi from our very own market garden in Katoomba. Don’t know how to cook or eat it? Why not try farmer Hannah’s easy slaw recipe:

Peel the tough outer part of the kohlrabi then grate it. Peel and grate one beetroot also and mix together. Add a generous squeeze of lemon, salt and pepper, and enjoy!

If you want to learn how to grow your own kohlrabi check out this article from ABC Organic Gardener magazine.

Caring for your beeswax candle

“The beauty of Beeswax! If you own one of our Beeswax Candles, you will know that after a while, the candle will start to bloom. This is a natural process of Beeswax (and a tell tale sign you have a candle made from 100% Beeswax and no additives). A tip to remove the “bloom” ~ you can either grab a damp cloth and wipe it away or grab a hairdryer and slowly apply some heat around the candle. Just remember it will return after a while, that’s the beauty of Beeswax.” This is Someday

What even is gumby gumby?

Our Noosa Basics range of natural skincare includes deodorants and hand creams with the soothing properties of Kakadu Plum & Vanilla, Kangaroo Paw Flower & Geranium, and Gumby Gumby & Neroli. And while native plants like Kakadu Plum and Kangaroo Paw are well known, what the heck is Gumby Gumby?

According to organic native plant farm gumbi-gumbi.com.au: “The Gumbi Gumbi (Pitosporum Angustifoluium) plant is a traditional food that has been consumed by Indigenous Australians for centuries. Traditional uses of Gumbi Gumbi are reported to include the treatment of viral conditions such as coughs, colds, and much more. There is a growing body of research that is delving into the potential medicinal factors attributed to Gumbi Gumbi.”

The plant is native to arid inland zones so you won’t find it around the Blue Mountains but if you go travelling out west this is what you should look out for.

Here’s an interesting ABC article about Gumby Gumby.
