Quite possibly the Best Dukkah!

Delicious Foods created from healthy recipes plus lots of Gluten Free foods

Introducing you to baby number 1. Thistle Be Good is here due to an absolute passion of making, eating and sharing delicious foods using healthy recipes. Oh and because of a love of eating the best dukkah!

Having left Scotland to travel the world in 1998, I stumbled upon and fell in love with South Australia. Especially its people and have lived here ever since!  In 2002, Thistle Be Good was established in the beautiful McLaren Vale wine region. This is 45km south of Adelaide, South Australia.  In 2004, the business moved to bigger premises in Willunga, South Australia.  We’ve been here ever since.

Why Thistle be Good?

The  ‘Thistle’ is Scotland’s national flower (yep, I’m Scottish!).  My surname is Good –  the perfect synergy!  Hence Thistle Be Good was created.

Prior to the patchwork of vineyards being established throughout the McLaren Vale and Willunga area, almond orchards abounded.  An iconic local chef, Russell Jeavons (of the famous Russell’s Wood Fired Pizza in Willunga) introduced dukkah (which is gluten free) into this area back in the 1980’s.  Thanks to Russell, dukkah became an established part of the local culture.  This was a big influence to establish Thistle Be Good.

Oldest Dukkah Producer in Australia

In 2002, Thistle Be Good started making 12 tubs of beautifully crafted dukkah each week.  It now produces a whole lot more than that!  It’s a wonderful team that make this possible.

Thistle Be Good was one of the first businesses to produce dukkah on a commercial scale. Now one the largest (and many customer say, the best) dukkah producers in Australia.

Producing a range of three dukkah, use the Egyptian, Bush Tucker and Warm Spiced dukkah to liven up most of your meals. The most popular way to enjoy it is still as a nibble.  Simply dip crusty bread into olive oil and then into dukkah and you have a healthy snack. If you want a gluten free option, use veggie sticks or cubes of soft cheese instead of bread.
