Introducing Hellers healthy new meat and veg Flexitari-yum range. Superfood packed with sensational flavour pairings. Global awareness of what shoppers are eating is on the rise and consumers are increasingly seeking out reduced meat options with more vegetables and boosted health benefits. Consumers often don’t want to remove meat entirely from their diets but are searching for products that fit their balanced lifestyle.
Hellers have developed a range that combines everyday barbecue favourites with leaner meat and 28 to 34 percent vegetables and superfoods. The Flexitari-Yum range still provides Kiwi’s with their classic and traditional meat options for the grill, with added ingredients that not only boost wellbeing but enhance the flavour of the meal.
The Flexitari-Yum range builds on the strength of the Hellers approach that taste and flavour are paramount for any product. Chef, Fraeona Heller, has created exciting options to choose from and remarkable flavours that will set the barbecue alight.

Superb Herb has some new ‘mini’ and ‘micro’ products to add to their already extensive range.
First is the Mini Basil. This Basil variety has miniature leaves that are great for turning average meals into amazing ones. The small leaves save the process of chopping and are great to scatter as a garnish. A beautiful plant for your kitchen windowsill, this variety has improved shelf-life and is in-demand from discerning home-cooks.
Crazy Peas! Superb Herb’s first micro-green. They get their name from the crazy way they look and because people go crazy for them. Now home cooks can re-create the café-style food they have been enjoying with these pea-tendrils. Sweet and crunchy, they are great for stir-fries, sandwiches, soups and amazing garnishes. Crazy Peas have an excellent shelf life and once cut, they will regrow quickly for a second use.
These two new products are proving very popular. Contact sean@superbherb.co.nz for more info.
