Vegetable Broth Garden Veggie

They are made from a single-celled organism fungi called Saccharomyces cerevisiae grown on molasses. They are fortified with vitamins in the initial stages of growth. As the yeast grows they organically bind to these vitamins and proliferate them. The yeast itself also digests these vitamins to a degree and proliferates its own nutrient content creating a naturally vitamin rich food that can easily be incorporated into all savoury meals. The yeast is then harvested, washed and dried with heat to ‘deactivate’ them and then rolled to form flakes.

We use Certified Organic Red Miso as a base for all of our veggie broths, as it is naturally rich in vitamins and minerals, delivering nutritional benefits, taste and colour. During its processing, soya beans and rice were fermented with the probiotic fungus Aspergillus oryzae, to further enhance the umami flavour and health goodness.

We strive to incorporate high-quality organic ingredients wherever we can. However, sometimes this is not always possible due to availability and seasonality. This means that some of our products are certified organic and some are not. On each of our product pages under ‘ingredients’ you can see what ingredients are *certified organic, and which are not. For a full list of our products made with over 70% certified organic ingredients, click here.

We do not recommend giving our broths (broth powdered and concentrates) to children under 12 months of age as the sodium content is not suitable for young children when the product is prepared according to our serving suggestion. However, if you are using our broths as an ingredient in a recipe containing lower sodium foods, it may be suitable. We would recommend following the advice of your healthcare professional when introducing any new foods into your young child’s diet.

Deactivated is a term used to describe the quick heating process that stops nutritional yeast from being able to proliferate any further. Just like good and bad bacteria, there are good and bad yeasts that exist within our digestive tract. Unlike unhealthy yeasts such as Candida spp., nutritional yeast is made from a healthful yeastSaccharomyces cerevisiae which helps to stop unhealthy yeasts from colonising in the digestive tract by a process of displacement. Therefore even though nutritional yeast is deactivated and unable to proliferate in the body, it is still having the favourable effects of a beneficial yeast in the digestive tract.

We are confident in our formulations, their targeted health benefits and the quality of the raw material we source to create them. Maintaining close relationships with our suppliers is just part of what we do to ensure our ingredients are the best quality available. We aim to source as many Australian and organic ingredients as possible, so we have full transparency in our supply chain, as well as support local businesses. In every instance we possibly can, we choose Australian ingredients, however, sometimes this is not always possible due to availability and seasonality. On occasion we need to go international to meet the quantity and quality of ingredients needed. If you are curious about which products contain internationally sourced ingredients or have queries about certain products, we are more than happy to answer tailored questions specific to your product enquiry.

When it comes to sourcing our natural ingredients, we choose provenance, nutritional value and quality over cost. This means no synthetics or chemical ingredients are added, only natural, real, wholefood.
