10: HoA - 'Superfoods the Australian story' with Hayley Blieden

Hayley Blieden is the founder of the Australian Superfoods Co. With a background in sports nutrition, Hayley's first exposure to Australian native foods & their superfood status was while working at the North Melbourne Football Club. Discussing with players their diets during the off season, Hayley began investigating Australian native foods… Fruits like the Kakadu plum hosting 100x the vitamin C of an orange and 5 x the antioxidants of blueberries – these superfoods are possibly one of the biggest underdogs in the world of nutrition.

This episode is slightly longer than most, but I just found this chat so intriguing that it deserves every minute. From the lack of awareness of superfoods in Australia, to some of the significant cultural aspects associated with native foods – this chat covers it all. With 18 products on the shelves, the Australian superfood co is harnessing the nutrition opportunities with the latest processes in food manufacturing to take Australian superfoods to the world… but before all that get's going, you better find out what they are!
