Ginger inspired goodies

Áine Ní Bhraoin, of Blasta Delights, created her ginger inspired goodies in 2021. All her products are based on Peruvian ginger, which adds an extra boost of nutrition and goodness. Doing the Diploma in Speciality and Artisan Food Enterprises back in 2020 set Áine up on a better footing to manage the health and safety operations for her business, as well as understanding how a food business operates daily. Áine started out as a graphic designer, which helped her in the development of her sustainable packaging. She enjoys growing her skills across all areas in her food business.

Áine has grown her business through selling at market events throughout Ireland and in retail outlets. The next step for her business is moving to a new food production unit in Tipperary at the North Tipperary Food Works in Rearcross. This will allow for further product development and addition of more new stockists across Ireland.

If you are a ginger fanatic take a look at her social media @blastadelights to see where she will be showcasing her products next. This weekend you’ll find her at the Dingle Food Festival where she can help you learn about ginger and all its beneficial properties.
