We stick to traditional methods

to create the perfect pasta.

Many of the Woolworths Select pastas are made using the

traditional bronze extruded method that was started in Naples,

Italy over 150 years ago. This means the pasta has a rougher,

more textured feel, so the sauce clings better and the pasta

absorbs more flavour. Perfecto!

BERRYMAGICAL

TThe secret to living a healthier, longer life, according to

Peter McPherson, the General Manager of Australia’s

largest blueberry grower, Berry Exchange, is blueberries.

“There’s so much research to show their health benefi ts.

They’re good for your eyesight, help protect against

cancer, full of anti-oxidants and they’re even said to help slow down

aging!” he says.

Clearly he’s not the only one who has heard about it: “We

produce 75 per cent of Australia’s blueberries, about 1800 tonnes,

and have around 2000 employees, but we can barely keep up with

demand,” he says. Not only are Australian shoppers keen for his

scrumptious blueberries, but also for the raspberries and sweet, juicy

blackberries grown on the company’s farms around Coffs Harbour and

Tumbarumba in NSW, Tasmania and Victoria.

“We stand for quality and consistently great-tasting berries. We’ve

been supplying Woolworths for 20 years and it’s been a sensational

partnership,” says Peter, adding that they’re the only Australian

company to grow raspberries all year round. How do they do it?

They grow the root material and canes on the cold climate properties

in Tasmania and Victoria for two years before replanting them at

staggered times in the milder climate at Coffs Harbour. “Raspberries

love the cold so it’s been a huge learning curve, and we’ve spent

half a million dollars on research and development to build this side

of the business.” They’ve also introduced new blackberry varieties to

Australian tastebuds, including the New Zealand-bred Karaka Black.

“It’s the most beautiful-tasting, sweet blackberry.”

Peter has been managing the company since 1986, but his

enthusiasm for the crop clearly hasn’t wavered. “I love frozen berries.

They’re like little delicious marbles,” he enthuses. They’re also his little

secret to feeling perky the morning after a big celebration. “You just

blend berries with pineapple juice and apple juice – no dairy needed.

Believe me, it works wonders!”

AVAILABILITY: Blueberries are in season from July to March.

Traditional raspberry season is August to April. December and January

is the season for Karaka Black Blackberries.

HOW TO PICK THE PERFECT BERRIES: “Look for fi rm blueberries

with a good bloom – that’s the grey texture on them,” says Peter.

“Raspberries should be bright red in colour.”

STORING: Store in the fridge and eat within a week of purchase.

The humble blueberry has become a global health phenomenon according to Peter McPherson at Berry Exchange.

NUTRITIONAL VALUE

per serve: 4g protein, 4.5g fat (2.5g

saturated fat), 38g carb, 2.5g dietary fi bre,

850 kJ (205 Cals); wheat free.

To buy Don’t choose mangoes

by colour, as this will differ between

different varieties. Instead, select

those with the distinctive mango

tropical aroma. They shouldn’t have

any blemishes or splits in their skin.

To store Store firm mangoes at room

temperature until they yield slightly to

gentle pressure when cradled in your

hand. Once ripe, store in the fridge for

3-5 days. You can freeze whole

mangoes – their skin will turn black but

the flesh will remain unchanged, though

it will be a little softer once thawed.

Frozen mango flesh is perfect for use

in ice-creams, drinks and sauces.

Where to find From the fresh fruit

and vegetable department at your local

Woolworths supermarket.

HINTS & TIPS❋ For a summer twist, add diced

mango and toasted sesame

seeds to a chicken Caesar salad.

❋ For a fresh breakfast, cut mango

cheeks into cubes. Toss with

your favourite summer fruits

and serve with yoghurt.

Handy hint

How do you remove

ballpoint ink from clothes?

It is recommended that you

use an alcohol-based hairspray

when attempting to remove ink

from clothing. For best results,

make sure you place a paper

towel under the stain to catch

any excess ink then saturate the

item with hairspray. Blot with a

rag until stain is removed then

wash immediately.

Ballpoint pensDid you know?

The fi rst ballpoint pen was invented

in 1938. Ballpoint pens are oil based,

permanent, fast drying and long

lasting. The ballpoint pen consists

of a small rotating ball approx 1mm

in diameter. When writing, the ink

adheres to the rotating ball and delivers

an imprint across the page. Check out

our extensive capped and retractable

range of BIC and Papermate

ballpoint pens in store now.

STAYING FOCUSED

Keeping kids focused on schoolwork can be a tough gig. Sometimes the answeris in the right foods and proper eatinghabits. Dr Rosemary Stanton reports.

IIt doesn’t take a rocket scientist to

recognise that a child’s attention falters

when they’re hungry. Studies fi nd that

exam results go down when students

skip breakfast and concentration levels

fall just before lunch. Here are some tips to

help your kids stay focused.

Brain foodsPrevious generations dubbed fi sh as ‘brain

food’. Research shows that the omega-3 fatty

acids in fi sh are vital for brain structure and

function. A new study of 396 Australian

6-12 year-olds reports improvements in

learning and memory with extra omega-3s.

Action: Once a week, serve fi sh for dinner

and also pop a small tin of tuna or salmon

in the lunch box occasionally.

IodineNew research shows intake of iodine is low in

most states of Australia. Iodine is vital during

pregnancy and the fi rst year of life when a

baby’s brain is developing. Defi ciencies lower

IQ levels.

Until recently, iodine from dairy disinfectants

ensured an adequate intake. Milk itself

remains a source of iodine, but we need more.

Tasmanian studies found that using iodised

salt in bread provides enough iodine for young

children, although pregnant women will require

a supplement. We’re not suggesting you

add salt to everything, but when you do use

salt, make sure it is iodised. Sea salt is not a

source of iodine.

Action: Serve kids sushi as the nori (seaweed)

is a good source of iodine.

VitaminsThe 13 vitamins we need are found in our

vegetables, fruits, wholegrain breads and

cereals, meat, fi sh, poultry, eggs and dairy

products. Vitamin B12 is essential for nerve

cells. It’s found only in animal products such

as meat, fi sh, poultry, milk and eggs so

children who do not eat these foods are at

risk of defi ciency.

Action: If you use soy beverage, check the

label and choose one with added vitamin B12.

Energy boostersThe best energy boosters are carbohydrates,

although not all carbs are equal. Choose

healthy carbohydrates, such as wholegrain

cereals (rolled oats, muesli, Weetbix or Vita

Brits), wholegrain breads, fruit (any kind), pasta

or brown, polenta or cracked wheat in foods,

such as tabbouli.

Action: Make sure every meal and snack

has healthy carbs.

Breakfast & lunchTeachers can pick the kids who skipped

breakfast because their focus dissipates

rapidly during the morning.

Action: Make it a house rule that no-one

leaves home without breakfast. A bowl of

a healthy cereal with a sliced banana and

fat-reduced milk is fi ne. Or have an egg on

multigrain toast. When time is tight, whip up

a quick smoothie or grab a yoghurt and a

piece of fruit. Afternoon fatigue sets in if lunch

is too big or too small.

Action: Sandwiches and fruit will keep

children going for the afternoon.

Healthy snacksStudies in the UK reported that some

children’s concentration takes a nose dive

after certain colourings and a preservative that

is often used in drinks. Check labels and avoid

colourings 102, 104, 110, 122, 124 and 129

and preservative 211.

Action: Make healthy snack choices with

fresh fruit, yoghurt or wholegrain toast. For

drinks, choose water or fat-reduced milk.

How to make it:

1Mix a small can of tuna (see Note) with a

little mayonnaise (see Note) until creamy.

Pile along one side of the bread.

2 Top with grated carrot, and shredded

lettuce. Roll up fi rmly and cut into 3cm

lengths. Arrange in a caterpillar shape on a

plate (see Note).

3 To make legs: cut a piece of cucumber

into quarters and then slice (about 5mm

thick). You’ll need 2 legs for each piece (each

quarter will be a leg) and place one piece on

each side of each body part.

4 Make 2 holes in a grape or cherry tomato

using the end of a bamboo skewer. Insert

2 pieces of cucumber skin as antennas.

Sprouts can be added for grass.

✃fresh food kids

Note: ✽ You could also use canned salmon

or boiled egg or one of the deli meats

like ham, chicken, turkey, corned or

roast beef.

✽ Use cream cheese instead

of mayonnaise.

✽ Stand the rolls on the cut side so

that you can see the different colours

of the fi lling.

DREAM CATCHERFeeling like you need some direction in life? Lacking motivation for change? There are some simple and effective ways to help you achieve your dreams.

HHaving positive goals in life

is wonderful, however,

sometimes it’s tricky

sustaining the drive to

achieve your dreams.

That’s where focus is essential.

Pinpointing what you want and where you

want to be at a certain point in life, means

staying on track, so you actually get there.

Retaining focus requires commitment, but

if the end result is crucial to who you are and

what you really want, it’s worth the effort.

Your target may be part of a big picture

that will take some time - landing your dream

job, a promotion at work, losing weight,

starting a family, owning your own home or

major house renovations.

Along the way there will be more

immediate aims, everyday things, like ticking

off all the jobs on your “to-do” list, cleaning

out the linen cupboard or re-organising the

shed, but the basic tactics you can use to

reach all your goals remain the same.

Firstly, identify your ambitions and be sure

they are clearly defi ned in your mind.

Prioritise, so the most important things are

always at the top of your list – you need to

see the wood AND the trees!

Break down your intentions into bite-sized

chunks, for example, today I just need to

achieve X, Y and Z.

Be realistic about this, expecting too

much too soon could be setting yourself

up for disappointment.

Track your successes and dips (from

now on failure is simply not part of your

vocabulary) and learn what makes things

work well and what causes distractions.

Wherever possible, rid yourself of the

distractions, even if it’s just temporarily.

Be organised, plan and remember to enjoy

the journey each and every day – you will

never get another chance to live the moment

you’re in right now.

Living too much for the future could mean

you’re missing out on the present.

Life coach and author Domonique

Bertolucci says, “I often ask my clients to

visualise what they would do if they won

$1 million on the Lotto.”

“It helps to clarify their dreams and

aspirations and identify what they really

want from life.”

In a recent survey, Generation X women

were asked what they would do with a Lotto

jackpot win. Most said they would

free themselves of debt and fi nancially

help their loved ones, but they still yearned

for the fun and excitement to pursue less

serious “one day” ideas.

Compared to men in their 30s to mid-40s

age group, women were 10 percent more

likely to spend it “sensibly”. However, they

were also more likely than men to splash

out on shopping and travel.

The best way of keeping your dreams

alive, says Ms Bertolucci, is to be true to

yourself, be clear about what you want

and do something each day towards

achieving that.

“Stay positive about your life.

A good attitude will attract goodwill

and prosperity.”

“Believing you are a lucky person will

increase your chance of good fortune,”

she says.
