Playing
with Fire is owned by Gus Donaghy and Rebecca Barnes. We found
inspiration one
day when wandering through the bush we discovered the delights of native
raspberries. A trial crop was planted a few months later and was a huge
success. Our appetite for Australias indigenous foods was born
and still grows today. We are fascinated by the variety, nutrition,
taste,
colours and smells of foods available and largely ignored by white man.
We
operate from beautiful Ballina by the Sea in northern New South Wales and have become
passionate about this regions rainforests and coastal heaths.
Some years on from our original
discovery and the potential
for these fruits has only grown. We have been supplying rainforest
fruits for
testing and research to Food Science Australia.
Their research has shown
these fruits are literally loaded with anti-oxidants and health-giving nutrition. Clinical trials are
underway to investigate further bioactivity including antimutagenic and
anti-cancer activities. we'll keep you posted....................
