ROUGH RICE 'CORE RANGE'

These are the 4 essentials…

The Fire Tiger Vitality range is built around curcuma longa, aka turmeric. For the past 4 years my good friend Jono has been growing this turmeric on an organic farm in Natural Bridge (Qld). I’ve then brought it down to Tassie, fermented it (which hugely increases the bioavailability of the curcumin) and played around with concoctions which maximise flavour and health benefits. Both of the following are designed to promote gut health / happy biome, keep your immune system in check, aid digestion and as an anti-inflammatory.

Fire Tiger Vitality Tonic (200ml)

Take a daily ‘shot’ for a boost of probiotics to aid a healthy gut microbiome, improved digestion, a strengthened immune system and as an anti inflammatory. Turmeric is also an effective antioxidant and linked to a plethora of skin benefits. Also happy gut = happy brain. By fermenting raw turmeric you increase the bioavailability (the bodies ability to absorb the benefits) of the curcumin and other medicinal properties of the rhizomes. Also makes a punchy and zingy salsa that’s great with seafood. Be Like Tiger.

Ingredients - fermented organic turmeric, masterbrine (spring water, lactobacillus), organic apple cider vinegar, fermented organic ginger + hakurei, sea salt, spices.
