THE GORGEOUS BRIGHT RED KANZI® APPLE WITH ITS UNMISTAKABLE JUICY CRUNCH WILL BE IN SEASON MARCH - SPRING 2021.

KANZI APPLES
HERE ARE FOUR REASONS WE’RE COUNTING DOWN TO KANZI® SEASON: HAT SWEET TANG • TKanzi® apples are known for their sweet, tangy taste, which comes from the variety’s parents - the sweet Gala and the tangy Braeburn. LOADS OF VITAMIN C Just one Kanzi® apple will give you almost half your recommended daily intake of vitamin C, which helps support your immunity system, your mood and fights fatigue 1,2. LONGER LASTING The dense flesh of a Kanzi® naturally stays white for longer and when kept in the fridge, they’ll stay fresh for 1-2 months without losing their crunch. TOP OF THE TREE Only premium, first-class fruit is sold as Kanzi®. Our experienced growers prune the trees to ensure each apple is given just the right amount of sunlight to develop that exceptional Kanzi® colour and flavour. AUSSIE GROWN Kanzi® apples are grown around Australia in 80 orchards including in the pristine orchard regions of Batlow (NSW), Yarra Valley (Vic), Adelaide Hills (SA), Manjimup (WA), Stanthorpe (QLD), Huon (Tas) where the warm days and cool nights are ideal for nurturing apples.

KANZI APPLES
AN APPLE A DAY KEEPS THE DOCTOR AWAY APPLES NOT ONLY A FANTSASTIC SNACK AND DELICIOUS TO EAT, THERE ARE NUMEROUS HEALTH BENEFITS IN APPLES, HERE ARE JUST A FEW THE PEEL IS PACKED WITH FIBRE Don’t peel the apple as that’s where a lot of the fibre is, even when cooking try to keep the peel on. Fibre is great for gut health. MEMORY Apples have a lot of the plant-derived chemical called a flavonoid which can protect cells throughout your body, including the ones in your brain. These fruits are also high in antioxidants that may help offset the memory loss caused by various types of damage to your cells. DENTAL Chewing on an apple stimulates saliva which reduces the ability of bacteria to form. Chewing also gives the teeth and gums a good rub. Not as good as brushing, but pretty good. TYPE 2 DIABETES Your pancreas process’ sugar in your bloodstream. The flavonoids in apples may help keep the cells in your pancreas healthy and able to perform this important job. SKIN Apples are know to be packed with antioxident’s, many of these antioxidents attack free radical that are aligned with skin ageing. Apples not only fight these radicals they help repair damaged skin cells. WEIGHT CONTROL Apples make you feel fuller longer, this is due to a low glycemic load, which means they won’t spike your blood sugar too high and trick you into thinking you’re still hungry. GUT HEALTH Apples are a natural source of pectin. Gut bacteria feed on pectin helping to grow new good gut bacteria. ASTHMA AND LUNG FUNCTION Apples, like other fruits and vegetables, have natural anti-inflammatory and antihistamine properties, which means they may help take a bite out of asthma and other breathing problems.
APPLE CARE TIPS If you are buying from a supermarket give the apples a wash just before use, not as soon as you get home, just before you eat or cook them. If slicing apples to prepare them for a dish put them in a bowl of water with a drop of lemon juice to keep them from browning too quickly. If you think lemon juice will taint the taste just go for the water. Keep bruised apples away from fresh apples, apparently a bruise can cause some chemical reaction with other apples the bruise touches. If refridgerated Apples can stay fresh for weeks. As a published when mentioning health information we must mention that the health information in this article is sourced from various Apple sources and published content and should not be deemed as medical advise.
IMMUNITY Apples have 10% of the vitamin C you need every day. That plus the soluble fiber you get from pectin makes this fruit a delicious defense against any germ that attacks your immune system. And if you do get sick, apples may even help you bounce back quicker.

Rhubarb Rhubarb is grown for its tasty stalks, which range from pinkish-green to ruby red. The leaves should not be eaten due to their oxalic acid content. The tart flavour of the stalks needs to be balanced—it is often stewed with sugar, but orange juice, maple syrup and other sweeteners are also used. It is also made into savoury dishes, including relishes and compotes, salads or with chicken or pork.

Okra pods Okra pods are sometimes called ladies' fingers (not to be confused with the bananas with a similar name). There are many varieties of okra—the most commonly found are green and white. Green okra is shorter and slightly stubby when compared with white okra, which is actually a light green colour. Popularly used in soups, stews and gumbo, it is excellent with lemon and accompanies lamb or chicken well. PAG E 2 2
Spring Onions Spring onions belong to the onion family and look like thin leeks, with tiny bulbs and long, hollow green tops. The only preparation they require is to be trimmed at either end. They are milder than mature onions and very versatile, eaten raw and cooked. The term shallots is sometimes used for spring onions as naming conventions vary in different locations.
Corn Corn has round, yellow kernels that form on an ear surrounded by a green husk. Several varieties are available, including some with white kernels and others with a mix of yellow and white kernels. Varieties differ in sweetness. Colour varieties like whites, reds, oranges and blues are also common.
Leeks Leeks belong to the onion family and look a bit like a huge spring onion, with a mild onion flavour. They can be used as a mild alternative to onions in many dishes and come with the benefit of not causing tears.

NEW RECYCLING PLANT TO RECYCLE 1 BILLION PLASTIC BOTTLES A YEAR. AUSTRALIA’S LARGEST PET RECYCLING PLANT NOW UNDER CONSTRUCTION IN ALBURYWODONGA CONSTRUCTION IS NOW UNDERWAY ON A WORLDCLASS RECYCLING FACILITY IN ALBURY-WODONGA THAT WILL SEE THE EQUIVALENT OF AROUND 1 BILLION PET PLASTIC BOTTLES RECYCLED EACH YEAR Environment Minister and Federal Member for Farrer, the Hon. Sussan Ley MP, turned the first sod on-site at the project, which is being delivered in a joint venture between Asahi Beverages, Pact Group Holdings Ltd PAG E 2 6
and Cleanaway Waste Management Ltd. The $45 million plant - in the Nexus Precinct 10km outside the Albury CBD in NSW - is set to be fully operational by October, two months earlier than expected owing to Albury Council approving the project ahead of schedule. Excavation of the site has already started, sheds to house more than a dozen diggers have been erected and dozens of jobs will be created as construction ramps up in coming weeks. The raw plastic material that the new plant will recycle each year is equivalent to 1 billion 600 ml PET plastic bottles and will be used to produce more than 20,000 tonnes of new recycled PET bottles and food packaging, making it the largest endto-end rPet plant in Australia. It will increase the amount of locally sourced and recycled
SECTION
PET produced in Australia by two thirds - from around 30,000 tonnes currently to over 50,000 tonnes per annum according to Pact Group. The plant will also reduce Australia’s reliance on virgin plastic and the amount of recycled plastic Australia imports. Solar energy will power part of the facility. The project was made possible with the assistance of almost $5 million from the Environmental Trust as part of the NSW Government’s Waste Less, Recycle More initiative funded from the waste levy, with the support of the Department of Regional NSW and the Australian Government’s Recycling Modernisation Fund. Federal Environment Minister and Federal Member for Farrer, Sussan Ley, said: “The project is integral to ensuring the successful delivery of Australia's 2025 National
Packaging Targets. It will create local jobs during construction and permanent jobs when it begins operations.” Pact’s Managing Director and CEO, Mr Sanjay Dayal, said “The state-of-the-art facility will reimagine domestic manufacturing and recycling in Australia. “Our investment in building this plant is central to Pact’s strategy which is to lead the plastics circular economy here in Australia. “This project would not have been possible without increased demand for locally-processed recycled content from forward-thinking Australian companies who are keen to meet Australia’s 2025 National Packaging Targets.

PUT ROO ON THE MENU WITH THE KANGAROO POPULATION GROWING AT RAPID RATE THE VICTORIAN GOVERNMENT HAS DECIDED THE ONLY WAY TO MANAGE THE GROWING ROO POPULATION IS TO INCREASE THE KANGAROO HARVESTING PROGRAMME. BUT WHAT TO DO WITH THE ALL THOSE ROO’S? Well, let’s eat them. Roo meat has been available for years, but not in huge quantities, you may try it at a restaurant but it’s not prolific on the supermarket shelv’s so it’s still regarded as a niche product or delicassy. The meat is healthy, being low in fat and cholesterol, high in conjugated linoleic acid and omega-3 fatty acids, iron and zinc. It is also high in protein. It is grass-fed without chemicals which should appeal to the organic market. In most instances consumers who try
kangaroo meat like it, would eat it again, and perceive kangaroo to be a healthy meat. The Roo meat industry will see a significant boost, many jobs will be created which will have a fantastic impact on the economy, and all using a readily available resource. Kangaroo meat is also growing in popularity overseas, and now with the increased availabilty this could also become a significant export market along with Roo skins.

Kangaroos have lower food and water requirements than conventional domestic stock and produce a higher percentage of their live weight as meat, but they do it more slowly while drinking less water. Kangaroos are comparatively low carbon emitters. They have different digestive systems and convert pasture to meat with less methane as a by-product making them a more eco friendly meat choice.

THE BENEFITS OF DOG DENTAL TREATS IT IS NOT CRAZY TO ASSUME THAT YOUR DOMESTIC DOG’S TEETH WOULD BE SUPER STRENGTH GIVEN THAT THEIR ANCESTORS NEEDED TO SURVIVE ON HUNTING WILD GAME, LIKE THE HYENA OF AFRICA TODAY.
Well dogs do have a different tooth configuration than humans to help with the ripping and bone crushing required for wild survival, but their teeth and gums are certainly not super strength and are susceptible to the same problems as human teeth. Wild dogs rely on raw bone crushing to give their teeth a good scraping, but although this is a good cleaning method sharp jagged bone
edges can cause cuts, stabbing and when sharp pieces are swallowed possible intestinal issue. This is the same as your dog at home, if you do feed them bones always check to make sure the bone is not fracturing with sharp bits falling off. Decay, plaque, bad breath, gum problems are all common problems our dogs will face if they do not have a regular dental health plan. »

Unless you are prepared to brush your dog’s teeth every day the easiest way to help you dog avoid the above-mentioned problems is to give then a dog treats or chew, these are not only tasty and entertaining but very effective teeth cleaner. There are many dog chews on the market, you can go for a hard toy like chew that the dog cannot eat, or a treat they can eat, or a middle of the road toy that lets some food out after a bit of effort. Whatever you choose US studies show dogs that chew on treats or toys have up to 70% less plaque and tartar than dogs that have no treats or toys or brushing. A sure sign is dog has poor dental hygiene is constant bad breath, this could be teeth or gum related so get it checked out by your vet. HOW TO PICK A GOOD TREAT OR TOY. If your dog is a little on the heavy side adding a treat may be counterproductive to its overall health. So, if you are adding a treat perhaps reduce the regular food slightly to compensate. Of course, an edible treat needs to taste
PAG E 5 4
good, many edible treats are healthy as manufacturers look to have ingredients that compliment meals and actually add nutrients to the diet. Initially your dog may turn his nose up at the treat but persist for a little while and if that does not work rather than go for a high fat treat perhaps look for a chew toy instead. Edible chews are a great treat, but do not hand them hand them out too often, they should not be a substitute for regular meals. Big dogs need big toys, little dogs’ little toys, if you buy you little dog a big toy it may not get the benefit of a good teeth clean and they maty not be able to get their teeth scraping along the ridges and grooves of the toy which are the effective areas of the toy. Chew toys and edible treats can really help with a dogs dental hygiene if used correctly, they can also entertain your pet and help with training and ad fun to their with yummy rewards. Enjoy experimenting, it may take a few goes to get the right product or mix of products but once you find it you should see immediate benefits.
