NZ Lavender Sugar. 90gm. LAST JAR!

Dean from Global Foods Direct

Sugar scented and flavored with the delicate fragrance of lavender is ideal for sprinkling on cakes and desserts.

Lavender sugar is a great alternative to vanilla sugar as a topping for candies, cakes, and other pastries. It's also a wonderful sweetener for tea.

Try Loose Lavender Buds in red sauces for pasta or pizza, it gives an intriguing rich taste. Just a teaspoon full is enough.

They also go well with fruit, especially raspberries and blueberries. A crème anglais flavoured with lavender makes an elegant end to a meal. Lavender is used in savory breads, pastries and in cakes biscuits and muffins quite successfully.

Mint and lemon are two other flavours that combine well with Lavender.

Flavour rich black tea with mint, lavender and lemon for a refreshing drink.

Price: $8

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
