The sweetener shelf has grown from a lonely box of stevia to a whole bay: monk fruit drops, erythritol blends, birch xylitol, coconut sugar and, lately, a syrup made from something called allulose. They all promise sweetness with less of the downside..

Of all the health trends to come out of social media, fibremaxxing is one of the few we are happy to see. The idea is simple: eat a lot more fibre than you do now. Most of us should. The catch is that people go from 15 grams a day to 50 overnight, fe..

Apple cider vinegar has been a kitchen cure all for about as long as there have been apples and barrels. These days it is sold in gummies and shots as well as bottles, with claims that range from reasonable to wild. The real picture is more modest, a..

We have a whole shelf of cacao in the shop now, and the question we get most is some version of "is this not just expensive hot chocolate?" It is a fair question. The short answer is that ceremonial cacao, cacao powder and the cocoa in the baking ais..

Five years ago matcha was a thing we sold about one tin of a month. Now it is the busiest corner of the tea wall, and at least twice a week someone comes in with a photo on their phone of a very green drink from a cafe in Bondi, asking how to make th..

Manuka honey is the one behind the counter that makes people do a double take at the price. A jar can cost more than a bottle of decent wine, and the numbers on the front, MGO this and UMF that, do not make it obvious why. Here is what you are actual..

People cut back on coffee for all sorts of reasons. Sleep that has stopped working, a heart that races by mid morning, pregnancy, or simply that the third cup stopped doing anything years ago. The problem is rarely the caffeine on its own. It is the..

The Japanese section is one of the odder corners of the shop and one of our favourites. It is not a big range, but it is the range we get asked about most by people who have eaten something good somewhere and want to make it at home. If you are star..

It is the first week of term, the school has sent home a note saying the classroom is nut free, and you are standing in an aisle turning packets over trying to work out what that actually rules out. Every parent who walks into our Maroubra shop in la..
