Cairns Coconut Museum is no more. Moved to an offgrid rainforest block in the Daintree a year ago. The block is called Daintree Dazzle and to confuse things, I have a kelpie pup also called Daintree Dazzle.

Turmeric. If it sprouts, then plant it.

Turmeric is being hailed as a wonder food. The active ingredient is curcumin which is a powerful anti-inflammatory. It has been used in Asian cooking forever and gives dishes their golden colour. It  may also be used as a dye.

Cairns Coconut Museum sells delicious, decadent Coconut Nectar & Turmeric which is to-die-for. It is produced by Jimalie Organic Coconut Products: Organic. Sustainable. Fair.

Turmeric, like ginger, forms a rhizome which is like an underground stem that grows horizontally close to the surface. It stores food for the plant so that when the plant dies back, the rhizome is able to produce new growth when the conditions are right.

Turmeric Rhizomes, some with roots.

And a shoot!

So plant it and it will grow into this.

But what to do with Jimalie Organic Coconut Products Coconut Nectar & Turmeric? Indulge yourself! Use it as you would honey to give a golden colour to your desserts.


With banana and Greek yoghurt.

Or add some blueberries.

Or whatever your imagination will allow. Coconut Nectar & Turmeric is absolutely delicious.

Jimalie Coconut Nectar & Turmeric.

Gorgeous, Golden Nectar.

Cairns Coconut Museum can deliver this gorgeous, decadent nectar from the Atherton Tablelands to the Cairns Region. The 300mL glass jar of nectar costs just $13.50. The sweetness is so concentrated that a little bit goes a long way towards satisfying your sweet tooth. Ask about our FREE delivery.

It is finally raining in Far North Queensland

At last it is raining in tropical Kuranda, Far North Queensland, Australia.




Rainwater .... the best way to hydrate a human. Another good way to rehydrate is to drink coconut water from jt's coconut essence. Coconut water is also a good source of potassium and it contains small amounts of other minerals. It is no miracle drink but it is delicious and better for you than a lot of sports drinks and definitely much better than sugar-laden soft drinks.

Jt's coconut essence coconut water is available from Cairns Coconut Museum in three convenient sizes. The 1L tetrapack is ideal for the home or office fridge, the 510mL steel can is great for a big thirst after exercise and the 320mL steel can is an ideal snack size and great for kids. We deliver from the Atherton Tablelands to the Cairns region. Ask about our FREE delivery. Here are the prices for cartons of coconut water:

6 x 1L tetrapaks ..........  $30
24 x 510mL cans ..........  $55
24 x 320mL cans ..........  $45

Did you know that wood from the coconut tree can be made into all sorts of useful items? Here is a platter made from coconut wood. We've graced it with a feather, a feather from a pale-headed rosella. Unlike most other parrots, rosellas are shy birds so no picture of the bird.
