Mount Zero – Organic Chick Peas

With their creamy texture and nutty flavour, they are great for salads, braised with meats, or spiced with Middle Eastern flavours. Mount Zero chickpeas also make a delicious hummus.
Mount Zero – Organic Cracked Farro
$10.58The wheel of change has not affected one of the first and finest grains grown by our early farmers more than 2000 years ago. Farro vanished from modern agriculture because of its protective husk that required more complex dehulling and milling machinery. Farro is high in fibre, rich in B Complex vitamins, protein, zinc and has a softer gluten that is gentler to the digestive system than wheat. We stone grind it to crack the bran. Farro has a delicious nutty flavour with a chewy texture, and can be substituted for rice, lentils, couscous and pasta in soups, salads and more.
Mount Zero – Organic Falafel Mix
$11.25This is a traditional Middle Eastern recipe made with biodynamic chickpeas from the Wimmera. Believing that fresh ingredients such as onion and parsley are always best fresh, we have provided the dry ingredients so that all that is required is to add water, a diced onion and parsley. This falafel can be shallow fried in the pan or fried traditionally in olive oil. It is also fantastic cooked on the BBQ.

Mount Zero – Pink Lake Fine Natural Salt
$6.58“50km from the Mount Zero Olive grove, in Western Victoria is a large pink salt lake. The lake is fed by natural salt aquifers and each summer dries to reveal a bed of salmon pink salt. Mount Zero and the lake’s traditional owners, the Barengi Gadjin Land Council, have been working together to hand harvest a small amount of salt from the lake each year.An analysis of the salt tells us that it is a concentrated store of natural mineral nutrients, rich in calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, sulphur, iron, manganese, zinc and copper as well as being rich in beta carotene. This complexity of minerals, provides a complex, well rounded flavour – dissimilar to many sharp refined salts.
