I actually bought a bunch of spices from a little shop when traveling, but I don’t remember there name! I then got a whole set of Simply Organic spices with spice rack gifted to me by the company. Since then, I’ve been buying their brand to replenish that pretty rack. Their product is fantastic, and I was told by their team that they follow rigorous allergen protocols.

Canola should be left standing until 30 to 60 per cent seed colour change, and not swathed immediately after the frost to reduce locking in green seed. Pods can become brittle if frost damaged, which increases the chances of shatter, so swathing should be timed carefully when pods are still wet with dew or rain and more pliable.
