Taking a native plant that grows wild in Tairawhiti and being able to make products out of it, was the inspiration for ‘kanuka liquid smoke’ similar to ‘hangi in a bottle’ created by Dr Kiri Dell and Nuka Ltd.  Dr Kiri Dell told Erana Reedy that the kanuka liquid smoke, is just one of the products they are exploring.  She’s moving home to Ruatoria soon to set up a production operation later this year.
