Supermarkets offer thousands of food products. Some are genuinely healthy, others are cleverly marketed that way, and many fall into the “treat” category due to high calorie, sugar, or fat content.
Many processed foods land in the middle – a 3 Health Star rating – making it hard for shoppers to choose the best options. Though, a handful of supermarket staples stand out for their exceptional nutritional value. These deserve a place on your weekly grocery list.
Here are some of the best Aussie-made pantry products, as part of News australia’s Back Australia campaign.
