VEGEMEAL

This range is E.C Choate & Co. own brand and used for all products we manufacture. With these products we plan to use as much Australian grown raw materials as possible; ie at least 50% or greater. The products contain no genetically modified ingredients or preservatives and additives. Although the company has been importing and packing our other brands for many years, Vegemeal is a recent addition to the companies range.At this stage the range consists of several dry mix savoury products. We have two styles of product in this range as follows.

The True Vegetarian Range is a savoury dry mix product which is designed to provide the basis of a cooked meal to which vegetables and salad can be added to make a complete meal, but does not try to look or taste like a meat product, which we feel a vegan or true vegetarian does not require. The products in this range have low saturated fat, and high protein content and are based on nuts, cereals and vegetable products. The other range is the Meat Evaders range for those people who wish to replace meat with a vegetarian product and so these products are made from cereals and vegetable but have a meaty like taste and texture and appearance of a meat product in the form of sausage, burgers and stew type products, but are completely meat free.

The True Vegetarian range (Vegetarian and Vegan) comprises:

Cashew Nut Savoury Bake Mix: a vegetarian baked savoury loaf made from cashew nuts, peanut flour, TVP(soya bean) and vegetable flavourings

Sesame and Sunflower Bake mix: a vegetarian baked savoury loaf made from Sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, TVP(soya) , and vegetables and herbs

A Macadamia Nut version is being developed, all are suitable for vegetarians and vegans, are quick and easy to prepare and can be made in the oven or microwave.

Vegetable Sausage Mix- Herb: to make a sausage mix for frying in a pan or stuffing and made from TVP(soya), cereals, vegetables and herbs

SYMINGTON'S of Scotland- Now Lactose Free

 

500grm

Symington's Dandelion 250gy lactose free

250grm

100grm

SYMINGTON'S Instant Dandelion Herbal Tea is a granulated form of Roasted Dandelion root . It has a very pleasant taste, quick to prepare and does not require a long boiling of the roasted root as is required by conventional ungranulated roasted root to extract the valuable soluble solids of Dandelion. It is an ideal caffeine free alternative beverage.. We recommend Symington's Dandelion is drunk as a perfect drink before bed or during the day when you crave that cup of tea or coffee as it takes no longer to prepare than a normal cup of instant coffee. New stocks of this product are now LACTOSE FREE, the product has been reformulated using dextrose and glucose instead of lactose but the Strength of Soluble Dandelion root has not changed and so the quality and beneficial effects of drinking Symington's remain the same with only a small change to taste and therefore those who are Lactose intolerant  can also enjoy the benefits of drinking Symington's Dandelion  as well.  (Vegetarian and Vegan ).

This product is available in 100 grm, 250 grm, 500grm, single serve sachets and a 1 kg caterers pack. The 100 grm container is new style like the 500 grm which gives better moisture barrier and retention of the dandelion aroma and easier to open.

Symington's Dandelion is much more cost effective than tea bags of roasted root which often contain chicory reducing strength and for which it is not possible to fully extract all the beneficial  soluble solids in the hot water of a tea cup and therefore a percentage of the valuble ingredients are thrown away in the tea bag. With Symington's Dandelion all the granules completely dissolve giving a higher strength cup and therefore a greater beneficial effect.
