Toru Road Vegan Kale & Kawakawa Pesto
NZ$6.95 - NZ$11.95
Need to get more greens into you? This is kale that actually tastes great! The base is raw kale with sunflower seeds and the added earthiness of kawakawa/bush pesto. Its the first of our kai that incorporates our own indigenous ingredient of kawakawa. A coarsely made pesto (at the request of Tracey's son Keenau to "make it more meaty" - even though he's vegan!)
Our Toru Road Vegan Kale & Kawakawa Pesto comes in 180gram jar, or our big whanau size 360gram jar. If you are picking up your Kale & Kawakawa Pesto and prefer to have it packaged in your own container - just let us know and we'll have it ready to transfer. This fresh-as deliciousness, with no preservatives, all natural goodness will stay fresh in the fridge for two weeks.
Pesto as a sauce for your pasta, dolloped on top of your protein or vegetables, on the side with your cooked breaky, or as a feel good dip. Toru Road Kai brings healthy and wholesome kai to your table.
Kawakawa Tea Leaves
NZ$5.00
Sustainably singularly handpicked kawakawa tea leaves have been dried and packed ready for your kaputi. Just add one kawakawa leaf to your cup, add boiling water, and 1/2 teaspoon of honey and feel like you've done something good for your body today! Makes 20 tea cups per packet.
Toru Road Chocoholic Granola
NZ$9.95 - NZ$18.95
We've upgraded our granola to give it that lil bit extra. Our boy Keenau said we should make a granola with peanut butter, but Mum knows best, lets add chocolate, but not any chocolate, cacao nibs and premium cocoa and some pretty rose petals. NZ manuka honey makes this granola tasty as - you're gonna get addicted.
500grams or half a kilo of glorious goodness is in our Whanau Size, and now for all the whanau and the neighbours we have a 1kilogram Papa Size pack. If you are picking up your Chocoholic Granola and prefer to have it packaged in your own container - just let us know and we'll have kai ready to transfer.
Add yoghurt or fruit or go flash and make an acai bowl.
Tahi Bay Oil
NZ$9.95
Organic bay leaves have been infused into extra virgin olive oil to create our warm, mild-tempered bay olive oil, that we have named Tahi Bay Oil. Its name is a twist on Titahi Bay, Porirua, where hubby August first started out, and also takes into account our brand name Toru, and Tahi seems to fit (we just need a Rua Oil now!).
Just dip your bread into the Toru Bay Tahi Bay Oil, then into Toru Road Horopito Dukkah and wallah, deliciousness. Or use as a salad dressing, drizzled on some warmly baked bread, roasted vegetables, fish, whatever takes your fancy.

If you are picking up your Horopito Dukkah and prefer to have it packaged in your own container - just let us know and we'll have it ready to transfer.

ABOUT US
Tracey is the owner of Toru Road and like many of us there are two things she loves most, firstly whanau, and always always good food. Getting the whanau together to share kai is a joy!
A few years ago Tracey started moving into eating healthy food, trying out vegan, organic, more wholesome and more natural foods. Buying a bunch of kale was at the top of the list - that's healthy right? Not enjoying the taste of that kale made her think that she could probably eat it if it was hidden in a pesto. Kale Pesto was born and is now a staple in her household, no longer hidden its the forefront of our business. Toru Road Kale & Kawakawa Pesto was the beginning of the Toru Road journey for her and her whanau.
