From Ngahere to Kitchen: Māori Flavours You Can Cook With

A Taste of Aotearoa in Every Bite

Picture yourself walking through the dense ngahere of Aotearoa. You breathe in the rich scents of native plants like kawakawa, kumarahou, and horopito. Now, think about bringing these Māori flavours into your kitchen. This is what Atutahi’s line of chutneys and drinks allows you to do. It connects the depth of Māori culture to meals that taste great and provide nourishment.

Māori flavours tell a tale of land, tradition, and health rather than just tickling your taste buds. When you cook with Atutahi’s natural products, you tap into that heritage and enjoy meals bursting with color, nutrition, and energy.

Māori Flavours Made Easy in Your Kitchen

Atutahi makes Māori-inspired cooking simple without requiring extensive knowledge of native plants. Their chutney lineup—ranging from Horopito Tomato Chutney to Kanuka Beetroot Chutney—adds richness, heat, and a mild tartness to regular meals. Picture coating roasted veggies with kumarahou chutney, or mixing some kawakawa lemon-lime drink into a fish marinade. The tastes are crisp, pure, and New Zealand.

People watching their sugar can pick from Atutahi’s low sugar drinks like Kawakawa Lemon Lime Sugar-Free. These let you taste native plants’ natural flavors without worry. The drinks go well with food making a regular meal feel special and tied to culture and health.
