Our snacks, drinks and recipe ingredients are inspired by the joy of rediscovering natural foods that feed your body and soul.

We’ve scoured the world for the most exciting, nutritious ingredients, from sea buckthorn to nopal cactus, Damask rose to milk thistle. We source them from small, independent farmers and use minimal processing to make sure they get to you in their purest and most powerful form.

And, recognising that we need to respect the environment that provides these precious ingredients, we’re fully committed to sustainability. It’s our way of gathering the riches of nature today, while protecting it for future generations.

We also believe that you should have the information you need to decide on the best foods for you. So, we take the traditional knowledge passed down to us from our ancestors and bring it up to date with the latest scientific research to help you make an informed choice about the foods you eat.
