Carmien Rooibos Natural Tea

carmien-roibostea

Organic Rooibostea, or as it is known in Europe “Redbush” or “African Red Tea” is exclusively found in South Africa. It grows in the environmentally pristine Cape Floral Kingdom - one of only six remaining floral kingdoms in the world.

Rooibos was traditionally enjoyed by the indigenous inhabitants in the Western Cape, who harvested the leaves and stems of the local Aspalathus linearis plant, which produced an aromatic herbal tea.

Medical science is only just beginning to discover the many health advantages of rooibos tea and on-going research confirms its multiple uses and benefits. Today, the fame of Rooibos has spread far beyond the borders of South Africa and is firmly established in the international market. The best thing however about Rooibostea is its wonderful, naturally slightly sweet taste.

TUMMY YUMMY - “ready-to-eat” baby food in a pouch

Tummy Yummy is the result of “parents” who question everything. “Foodies” themselves to the core, they know that keeping food simple, natural and real is the best first-food for little tummies.

At TUMMY YUMMY - We wanted our little ones to grow up loving food, because after all, eating natural, nutrient laden food is what grows little bodies and minds. We wanted our babies “first tastes” to inspire a lifetime of healthy food choices. After all, why should baby food not taste every bit as wonderful as a real meal?

“We encourage parents to taste TUMMY YUMMY yourself, we guarantee you will LOVE the taste and that your little “taster “ will too!”


Natural, ready to eat baby food for on the go Mums & babies

We definitely have no:

  • Fillers or extenders in our purees
  • We don’t add sugar or salt
  • Definitely no artificial preservatives or flavourants.
  • Only natural ingredients, select varieties of fruits and vegetables and special cuts of meat and chicken are used in our purees.


    Stage 1 - “Little Pioneer” - taking the first tiny steps towards eating
    These are great starter purees for weaning babies from their existing milk only diet; making a gentle transition to delicate fruit flavours. These purees are smooth in texture and simple but pure in flavour.

    Stage 2 - By now your little “Discoverer” has realised that eating is really a YUMMY activity.
    Purees - these are great for the exploring stage, more complex in flavour and textures.

    Stage 3 & 4 - You have an active “Crusader” at the dinner table, wanting to play and eat at the same time.
    These complete puree meals are nutritionally balanced and nutrient rich so your baby can get the maximum goodness out of every mouthful. They’re also an introduction to textures - soft visible pieces of vegetables or pasta are dispersed throughout the puree. These are old favourites which we have been made even better.

    Tummy Yummy Products

    Sante - High Protein Spiced Meat Snacks

    Since the time of our forefathers, curing and preserving meat to make biltong and droëwors has been part of South African heritage and culture. In the olden days, biltong and droëwors were made primarily as a means of survival, rather than the delicious snack it is known to be in this day and age.

    Today, biltong is known throughout the world as being a traditional South African delicacy, enjoyed by millions as an easy, protein rich snack and as a delicious favourite social treat.

    Ingredients

    Because we never settle for second best, we make use of only the finest raw materials when it comes to the production of our products. We use only A-grade quality meat from the most reliable and trustworthy local and international suppliers that work in conjunction with respected and certified abattoirs, enabling us to produce the finest quality end product on the market. To ensure our products are consistently uniform, we make a point of only procuring from suppliers that produce meat conducive for quality biltong products.

    Packaging

    Modified Atmosphere Packaging, or MAP packaging refers to a specific technique that involves packing perishable consumable products into packages that contain an optimal level of nitrogen, carbon dioxide and pure oxygen.

    This method of packaging enables fresh, minimally processed food products to maintain an optimal nutritional, visual and textural appeal, while at the same time extending its shelf life and preserving the flavour of the products concerned. Through using this method, food products can be produced without the addition of stabilisers or chemical preservatives.
    The fact that we make use of this unique packaging technique has differentiated us from our competition, enabling us to be one of the only biltong producers in South Africa that is able to deliver superior quality products with an extended shelf life.
