SHAKE SOME UMAMI MAGIC INTO YOUR FOOD
The Magic Gardens Herb Yeast Salt is a special seasoning blend, which was developed in New Zealand over 40 years ago and still made using the same trusted recipe. It has a base of Yeast Flakes and Unsalted Yeast which gives it ‘the magic’ umami (intense savoury) flavour. Yeast is combined with 10 other herbs and spices and of course salt. As well as a taste sensation Magic Salt has many nutritional benefits.
Magic Salt enhances a wide range of recipes with its umami flavour, from roasts and stews through to stir fries and dressings. It can be added to any savoury dish. See the Recipes page for ideas.
The easy-to-use shaker-style pottle keeps the salt fresh, dry and free of lumps. The pottle is reusable and recyclable.

Our Story
Magic Gardens Herb Yeast Salt is a special seasoning blend, which was developed in New Zealand over 40 years ago by an American chemist. Heather and Teresa who are sisters purchased the recipe and business in 2006 from Michelle who owned the Warkworth Health shop for many years. Michelle continued making the salt after she sold the shop and supplied other health shops in New Zealand. A loyal following of customers grew!
Magic Gardens Herb Yeast Salt is now made in small batches by Heather and Teresa with the same beloved and trusted recipe that was developed all those years ago.
The sisters grew up on a rural property in Tauranga (what would be called a lifestyle block today) during the 50-60’s, with an abundance of orchards and fruit. The family were vegetarians eating a plant-based, clean diet … long before it became popular. Their mother adopted a holistic approach to food, health and lifestyle passing this on to her 6 children. Nutritional yeast was part of their diet way back when they were children.
Now their families are passionate home cooks who use Magic Gardens Herb Yeast Salt daily and can attest that the mix enhances a wide range of recipes, from roasts and stews through to stir fries and dressings.
Heather’s favourite way to use Magic Gardens Herb Yeast Salt is on fish panfried in butter, sprinkled liberally and doused in lemon juice. Teresa loves it on poached eggs and avocado with toasted sourdough.

About Yeast and Salt
WHAT IS YEAST?
Nutritional yeast is a highly nutritious vegan product with well-documented health benefits. It is a complete protein meaning that among the 18 amino acids it contains, 9 are essential ones that your body cannot produce. It also contains vitamins (in particular B complex vitamins), folates, thiamine (used in every cell in the body), riboflavin, niacin, selenium and zinc – making it a SUPER food. Nutritional yeast is antiviral, antibacterial and an immune booster.
WHAT IS SALT?
Salt has been around for millennia and is an essential part of the human diet. It helps maintain hydration and keeps our bodies chemically balanced. Salt is mainly composed of sodium, which also plays a role in keeping control of blood pressure. We excrete sodium when sweating and must replenish the lost sodium and chloride ions through diet. However, most people consume too much salt and so by using Magic Gardens Herb Yeast Salt you will reduce your salt intake without compromising on flavour.
OTHER INGREDIENTS
