‘Health living’ is now trendier than latest fashion and it had swept the world of its orbit in grand scale.
Grains cannot be forgotten when taking of healthy living. We at Ocey supply the best grains available in Australia. Barely, red lentils and other grains available in Australia are now with our team for you.
Red Lentils
Red lentil, sometimes known as ‘small’ or ‘Persian’ lentil, is the most widely grown in Australia. They are sold split for cooking (Masur dhal). The name ‘red lentil’ is derived from the red kernel (cotyledon) colour, which is exposed when split and the seed coat removed.
The seed coat colour varies from light grey, through brown to black, and may be speckled. Seed size is generally 4–6 mm in diameter, and red lentil varieties are classified as either small, medium or large-seeded types.
Barley
Australia is a dominant player in world barley export markets, representing 30-40 % of the world’s malting barley trade and 20 % of the feed barley trade.
Demand for high quality barley is strong both in Australia and internationally with Australian barley well recognized for its excellent malt and feed qualities. Australia produces two-row spring barley that is plump and bright with moderate protein content. Harvested grain has low moisture content with long storage viability.
Malt is produced by soaking barley grains in water until they germinate and begin to sprout a new plant. The grains are then quickly dried in hot air (kilned) to stop the germination process. This process causes chemical reactions which create the enzymes and sugars needed for the brewing process.
Dairy products
“A glass of milk would do the trick if it’s accompanied by a slice of buttered bread and cheese”, now how tempting is that for breakfast? Anything starting from to cheese to butter are considered essential by some for many years, and what other good country would supply better dairy products than the lush green lands of Australia.
Dairy is one of Australia’s most important rural industries and is the fourth-largest rural industry in the country. Majority of milk production occurs on the south-east seaboard in Victoria, New South Wales, and Tasmania.
A large proportion of exports are in the form of value-added products such as cheese, butter, ultra-heat-treated milk and milk powders. Australian dairy is exported around the world.
And Ocey is a one stop place for all your quality dairy products.
