Response had been good, she said, with showgoers keen to try the four varieties of seeds as a snack.
"People are pleasantly surprised at how good they taste."
Nearby, a few stalls along toward the corner of the arena, the conversation centred around worms.
Namely tiger worms, which are the driving force of a wastewater system which Bay View-based Lifestyle Plumbing's Paul Warrington-Staatman runs.
"I'm helping him here at the show," his father Brian said.
"The worms get rid of the waste - they love it because they get all the food they want."
The system ensures solid waste is separated from liquid waste, with micro-organisms, like tiger worms, living in the layers of the filter housing and cleansing the water as it makes its way through.
"A lot of people are fascinated by it, and it's a system that has no smell and doesn't need cleaning."
It was the third Better Home and Living Show the company had rolled out the BioPod system and they were keen to share the wise words of Charles Darwin who said "it may be doubted whether there are any other animals which have played so important a part in the history of the world as the worm".
Over in the next aisle there was plenty of interest being shown in tyres.
Old bicycle tyres, motorcycle tyres, car tyres and truck tyres which are recycled into a range of outdoor furniture like seats and tables, as well as platters, bins, baskets and even mirror frames and which are marketed here under the banner of 'Retyred'.
They are brought in from the Australian-based designers by Taupo couple Phil and Justine Page who brought their first container of stock over last December.
"We've just ordered the third container load," Mrs Page said as she gave out change to a woman who was taken by a small rubber pot which was once part of a tyre.
"It is going really well," she said.
"We had one lady come along and she sat in one of the chairs and loved it - she said it was like sitting in a giant licorice allsort."
There was clearly something for everyone amidst the 120 exhibitor sites.
Filters, appliances, expandable hoses, stoneware pots and pans, honey, spices, showers, woodfires, eyewear and eye-catching artworks.
The corner featuring foodstuffs like smoked salamis, cakes, pies, chicken goodies and breads also caught the eye, as well as the nostrils.
Former Christchurch couple David and Yvonne McHenry, who moved to Napier three years ago, loved what they saw.
"It is the first time we have been to this show and it is very, very good," Mr McHenry said.
They left smiling, and like hundreds of others, also left with bags of giveaway goodies and brochures.
The show runs from 10am to 5pm today and tomorrow.
