Handling the Pressurised Can

Basics
Ready-to-sue soy whip in the pressurised can is a new and at present worldwide unique product.  The can is an integrated system comprising both food technology and packing engineering.

Two unmixed  components
The can contains 2 separate components

  1. soy cream
  2. propellant gas (to be precise: nitrous oxide)

Both components are contained separately in every can.

How does the cream get out of the can?
Quite simply: in order to dispense the cream you must:-

  1. shake the can so that the cream lies directly in front of the valve
  2. once it is there press the nozzle (or to be exact the base of the valve), so that the gas simply expands and propels the cream mass forward.

 

Why are there handling problems particularly during the hot months?
Ready to use soy whip in the pressure can is a technically optimised but not impervious product and it tends to thicken when subject to severe temperature fluctuations.  It is most susceptible subjected first to heat then prolonged cold.  This makes it much harder to get the cream in front of the valve. (You have to shake it more vigorously, but it still works, of course).

What is the best thing to do in this case?

  1. Don't store the cream too cold.  Best of all, don't refrigerate it, or take  it out of the fridge at least 10 minutes before use.
  2. Give the can a vigorous downward jolt.  You will notice that something moves inside the can (tis is the cream mass).  Shake the can downwards only, not upwards, so that the cream moves in front of the valve.
  3. If only gas but not cream is expelled from the can, immediately stop pressing the valve (otherwise the gas will be completely expelled and the cream can no longer be dispensed at all).

 

Please do not try to pry open or cut the can to obtain the contents, either with or without tools.  The can is made of tin, and cutting it can create sharp edges which easily cause injury.

For technical reasons it is completely unavoidable and normal that longer cold storage leads to thickening.  The product can none the less be dispensed and consumed.

Stay "cool 'n' creamy" on hot days, too.
Soyatoo! tastes best on hot days with lemon ice cream.

Tasmanian Organic Wakame Seaweed

We now have stock of local Tasmanian Certified Organic Wakame.  We are packing is up in 50g and a value pack of 200g.  Larger quantities are also available on request.


This certified organic Tasmanian seaweed - the Undaria pinnatifida species or Wakame in Japanese.  This locally harvested seaweed is far less likley to be high in heavy metals though it might not be as beautiful and green looking as its Japanese counterpart that often has unhealthy artificial additives to give it more aesthetic appeal. 


 


Dr J.Helen Fitton - Scientist - "These versatile, abundant marine plants have been harvested for thousands of years and valued as both a food and a medicine. There is a long history of seaweed consumption in Asia, and the earliest mention of the use of seaweed in traditional Chinese medicine appeared in the 6th century AD."


"Today, the harvesting and cultivation of seaweed has become a major industry. Surprisingly, it remains one of the less recognised sources of food and medicine in our society."

Sweet Freedom Natural Syrup

 

Sweet Freedom* A delicious syrup made 100% from fruit!

* Best selling Vegan honey alternative!

* Great Taste Award Winner (Gold stars in Sweet Ingredient and Diabetic categories 2009 & 2010)

FAQ’s    

What is it made from?

100% fruit - just apples, grapes and carob and nothing else.  No added colours, flavours or preservatives.

What is carob?

Carob grows on trees in a pod like case and is native to the Mediterranean. It’s been cultivated for over 4000 years as a source of natural sweetness.

What does it taste like and what can I use it for?

Sweet Freedom Syrup tastes sweet, rich and fruity (a little like honey without the bitter aftertaste). 

Drizzle over porridge, cereal, yoghurt, fruit, pancakes, crepes and waffles.  Bake healthier cakes, muffins, flapjacks, puddings, brownies etc, replacing all sugar and sweet syrups.  Make healthier sauces, desserts, jams, lemon curd, chutneys, dressings, ice cream / lollies.  Spread on toast in place of honey and jam.  Glaze foods prior to cooking or BBQ’ing.  Add a rich, sweet taste to your savoury dishes and stir fries.

How does it compare to sugar?

It has 25% fewer calories than sugar, is sweeter and you can reduce the amount used gram for gram by around 25% (i.e. if your recipe calls for 100g of sugar try 75g).  It also has a lower GL (Glycaemic Load) making it a better choice than sugar or honey for diabetics and is produced using no chemicals or enzymes.  *Recommended maximum oven temp for baking 180 degrees C.

How does it compare to honey?

It has a more neutral taste than honey with no bitter after taste making it more versatile.  It also has a lower GL making it a better choice for diabetics.  Children also prefer the taste to honey in taste tests (very young children can also be allergic to honey).  It’s the best selling vegan honey alternative in the UK!

Can diabetics use it?

Yes, as it has a low GL it can help avoid blood sugar highs and lows making it a good choice for diabetics as part of a healthy balanced diet. 

How is it made?

Unlike most sweeteners and syrups it is water extracted using no chemicals or enzymes.

What does it replace?

You can use it in place of sugar, honey, treacle, maple, agave, and golden syrups.

Where is it made?

It is produced in the UK in a nut free factory that is free from virtually all common allergens.

Is it suitable for children?

Yes

Is it suitable for vegans?

Yes, unlike honey it is vegan friendly.  It’s ideal on toast in place of honey.  *Registered with The Vegan Society and featured in their magazine.

Is it GM free and gluten free?

Yes.

Does it contain any additives, preservatives or artificial colours?

No.

How does it compare to agave syrup?

Agave syrup is produced in Mexico from a cactus like plant used to make tequila.  It is processed using chemicals and enzymes and is very high in fructose (90g of fructose per 100g).

Sweet Freedom is made in the UK from 100% fruit (apples, grapes and carob) all sourced within Europe and is processed using no chemicals or enzymes.  It has only 23g of fructose per 100g.  *All fruits contain varying levels of fructose whereas many people assume they are all fructose!  Recent research suggests we should limit the amount of fructose we consume as it can raise triglycerides and be bad for our hearts. Sweet Freedom also has a lower GI and GL than agave syrup, and the manufacturers of the very popular  Lovebite Chocolate Balls is now using Sweet Freedom instead of agave syrup to sweeten their raw chocolate products.

How does it compare to Xylitol?

Xylitol is a polyalcohol, made from corn husks or birch trees sold under various brand names; it is chemically processed and produced mainly in China.

Is it easy to use?

It is very easy to use from the ‘top down’ squeezy bottle that has a non-drip cap so no mess or stickiness!

Does it need to be kept in the fridge?

No, it is an ambient product.  The shelf life from date of production is two years.

Raw Organic Hand Made - Conscious Chocolate - the new bar is set

What's in it?

Conscious Chocolate combines the finest raw, wild crafted and organic ingredients to produce a delicious, smooth textured chocolate.

Our chocolate base recipe contains:

  • cacao solids
  • cacao butter
  • agave nectar
  • cacao powder
  • coconut oil
  • wild carob
  • cinnamon
  • himalayan crystal salt

Raw cacao is now recognised as a super food due its high levels of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals.

When processed at high temperatures as is common in most chocolate, its nutrient value is significantly reduced and it becomes highly acidic when ingested.

Our Chocolates are prepared using a consistently low temperature to preserve the natural occurring nutrients and antioxidants. This also prevents the build up of acid in the body.

Our chocolate is sweetened with natural Agave nectar which is a naturally low GI sweetener.

The whole process from start to finish is completed by hand, made with love using only the best ingredients from organic sources to pure wild crafted essential oils such as orange, tangerine, rose and peppermint.

The essential oils bring a beautiful frequency and their own highly therapeutic health benefits to the chocolate.

How it's made?


  1. Cacao grown in organic environment
  2. Cacao pods harvested
  3. The cacao gets processed into the key components for the chocolate - cacao solids, cacao butter and cacao powder
  4. Ingredients are packaged and stored
  5. Raw ingredients are dispatched to Australia …
  6. … where they arrive at the Conscious Chocolate kitchen
  7. Ingredients are weighed and proportioned
  8. The wet ingredients are then slowly melted, never going above 42°c in order to maintain high nutrient levels
  9. The dry ingredients and natural flavours like Goji berries or peppermint oil are added
  10. Everything is then mixed by hand …
  11. … and poured into moulds
  12. The chocolate is then set in the refrigerator,
  13. and packaged in boxes, ready to be enjoyed
