The Funky Ouma range is not only fun and flavourful, it is also colourful. It was Funky Ouma’s beautiful shocking pink Beetroot Salt that caught my eye at a market. I just had to have it! Their slogan “Changing people’s lives, one grind at a time” sums up the motivation behind their healthy salts.
“Funky Ouma” came about when a very funky Ouma of 10 grandchildren with a life-long love for food and spices, decided to start her own brand with her youngest daughter as partner. The dynamic mom and daughter duo consists of Anneke van Rooyen, also known as Funky Ouma, and her daughter Johannita Eksteen. They saw a gap in the market for healthy cooking and braai-salt mixtures, so they played around with salt, herbs and spices at their farm in Paarl, Western Cape and developed the Funky Ouma range. Their goal: to be South Africa’s favourite braai and cooking salt.
Funky Ouma salt is ideal for cooking, braai-ing, marinating, baking bread or even just a table salt. It’s a tastier as well as healthier substitute to everyday salts and spice. The salt mixtures are bottled in quality grinders.
The herbs used in Funky Ouma‘s salt grinders are home-grown. They use herbs such as rosemary and oregano, as well as other natural ingredients such as onion flakes, sweet peppers, dried chillies, lemon zest, black and exotic green and red peppercorns, and coriander seeds. The salt used in Funky Ouma’s grinders are from Walvis Bay and the Himalayas.

Funky Ouma recently launched their own recipe book aptly named “Toe Nou”. The recipe book is a collection of the favourite healthy recipes of no less than nine Ouma’s! According to Johannita, “Toe Nou” is about putting fresh, flavourful and funky food on the table without spending hours in front of the stove.
