Cashews are versatile and very nutritious nuts packed with protein, fibre and minerals. They are an excellent source of magnesium, copper, and essential amino acids. Cashews nuts are very easy to incorporate to your diet. What does cashew taste like? Cashews's flavour is similar to almonds and other nuts but they are sweeter and their nutty flavour is more delicate. With their buttery and creamy taste, they can become everyone's favourite nut. Cashews can pair well with all kinds of sweet and savoury dishes. How to use cashews? Cashews are less crunchy than almonds or peanuts but they probably are more versatile. As healthy snack Whole or ground organic cashews are a great snack on the go. You can eat cashew raw or roasted. You can easily find them in the shops and buy organic cashews online. If you want something more indulgent, go for cashew coated with honey, dark chocolate, or with herbs and spices seasoning. To make dairy-free milk If you have a food processor at home, you can easily make your own plant-based milk at home. Organic cashews would be perfect for that. Just soak the cashew in water for a couple of hours, then remove the water. Place it in a food processor, adding 1 litre of water and a pinch of salt and blend until it's creamy and smooth. Voila! You can keep it in the fridge for up to three days and use it for coffee and cereals in the morning. To make cashew butter Both roasted and raw organic cashews make excellent nut butter! You can easily prepare it at home. Cashew butter can replace peanut butter on toasties and cereals. This spread is naturally soft and high in fat. If you want to make it healthier, just blend organic cashews into butter without adding any extra oils or sugars. You can add a spoon of cashew butter to thicken your smoothies, pancakes, waffles, soups, stews and other savoury dishes. If you are allergic to peanuts, cashew butter will be great to replace peanut butter in all baked goods like cakes, croissants, and muffins. As a substitute for cream in dairy-free recipes If you don't want to use dairy cream in your cooking, you can always opt for cashews. Just blend them with lemon juice and a bit of salt. If you want to make the plant-based cream alternative more creamy, just soak the cashews for an hour before blending. You can keep this cashew cream in the fridge for a couple of days and add it to soups, sauces, dressings, curries and other dishes just like a traditional cream as a thickener and flavour booster. As a topping for different dishes Thanks to their creamy, nutty flavour, cashews can be an excellent topping for many dishes. To make plant-based cheese Cashews are one of the most popular ingredients to make vegan cheese, especially camembert or brie. These plant-based cheese are made with organic cashews blended and fermented. You can also easily make a creamy plant-based cheese with organic cashew nuts. Just blend soaked cashews with nutritional yeast and some salt and it's ready!

Honey is one of the oldest foods we know, and it is also one of the most varied. Open a few jars side by side and you will find colours ranging from pale gold to deep amber, and flavours that shift from delicate and floral to rich and almost treacle-like. That variety is no accident. Every honey carries the character of the flowers the bees visited to make it, which is why no two types taste quite the same. Here is a friendly guide to the main kinds of honey, what makes Manuka so special, and how to pick the right jar for you. Why honey tastes so different The flavour, colour and texture of any honey come down to one thing: the flowers. Bees gather nectar from whatever is blooming nearby, and the type of blossom shapes the finished honey. As a rule, the paler the honey, the milder and more delicate the taste, while darker honeys tend to be stronger and more robust. The season, the region and even the weather all play a part, which is what makes honey such a fascinating natural product. Honey generally falls into two broad camps. Blossom honey, sometimes called multifloral, is made from the nectar of many different flowers and offers a rounded, classic honey flavour. Single-flower honey, known as monofloral, comes mostly from one type of blossom and has a more distinctive character all of its own. Popular floral honeys Some of the best-loved honeys are named after the flower that defines them. Acacia honey is very pale and mild, with a light, almost syrupy sweetness that makes it a favourite for drizzling and for sweetening drinks without overpowering them. Orange blossom honey carries a gentle citrus note and a fragrant aroma. Wildflower honey, gathered from a mix of meadow blooms, changes with the seasons and gives you a true taste of the local landscape. At the deeper end of the scale, heather honey is thick, amber and full-bodied, with a bold flavour that stands up well on toast or alongside cheese. Chestnut honey is darker still, with a rich, slightly bitter edge that many people come to love. Part of the joy of honey is exploring these differences and finding the ones you keep coming back to. What makes Manuka honey special No honey has captured attention quite like Manuka. It comes from the nectar of the Manuka bush, which grows in New Zealand, and it has a thick texture and a distinctive, earthy flavour that sets it apart from lighter floral honeys. Manuka's real claim to fame is a natural compound called methylglyoxal, or MGO for short. You will see MGO ratings printed on the jar, and the higher the number, the greater the concentration of this compound. A honey labelled MGO 100+ is milder, while higher ratings such as 250+ are prized and priced accordingly. You may also see the letters UMF, which stands for Unique Manuka Factor, another grading system used to show quality and authenticity. Because genuine Manuka is highly sought after, it pays to buy from a trusted source and to look for a clear MGO or UMF rating on the label. If you would like to explore it, our range includes options from everyday Manuka honey at MGO 40 up to a stronger Manuka honey at MGO 250+, so you can start gently or go for a more intense jar. Raw, set and runny honey Beyond the flower, you will also see honey described by how it has been processed and how it looks. Raw honey is minimally filtered and not heated to high temperatures, so it keeps more of its natural character. Runny honey is smooth and pourable, perfect for drizzling, while set or crystallised honey has a thick, spreadable texture that many people love on toast. Crystallisation is completely natural and is not a sign that anything is wrong. A gentle warm-water bath will loosen a set honey again if you prefer it runny. Choosing the right honey for you The best honey is really a matter of taste and how you plan to use it. For sweetening tea or drizzling over yoghurt and porridge, a mild, pale honey such as acacia or a light blossom honey works beautifully. For baking and cooking, a good all-rounder blossom honey does the job without costing a fortune. If you enjoy a bold flavour on toast or with cheese, reach for a darker honey like heather. And if you are curious about Manuka, start with a lower MGO rating and work your way up. One thing to keep in mind: honey is a natural sugar, so it is best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. It should also never be given to babies under one year old. A jar worth savouring From the palest acacia to the boldest Manuka, honey is a reminder of just how much variety nature packs into a single ingredient. Every jar tells the story of a particular place, season and set of flowers. Try a few, notice how different they taste, and you will soon discover which honeys deserve a permanent spot in your cupboard.

Not all almonds are equal. The ones we source come from Spain, and that is a deliberate choice rather than a happy accident. Spanish almonds have a reputation among bakers, chocolatiers and chefs for a reason: more flavour, more oil, and a depth you simply do not get from the big, uniform, heavily irrigated nuts that dominate the global market. Here is where they grow, how they grow, and why the Spanish way produces such a good almond. Where they grow Spain is one of the oldest almond-growing countries in the world, and its orchards stretch across a sun-drenched belt down the eastern and southern side of the country. The classic regions are the Levante in the southeast, around Alicante and Murcia, along with Catalonia, Valencia, Aragon and Andalusia. Each area has its own microclimate and soil, which is why Spain grows such a rich mix of traditional varieties rather than a single commercial one. Two of those varieties stand out. Marcona is the famous one: round, plump and buttery, with a sweet, delicate flavour that makes it the almond behind classic turron and marzipan. It is a pure native Spanish variety, not a graft or a hybrid, and is thought to have originated around Alicante. Largueta is the other great Spanish almond, longer and flatter with a firmer bite, traditionally grown across Catalonia, Valencia, Aragon and Murcia. Between them they show off exactly what Spanish terroir can do. How they grow: the dry-farming difference This is the heart of why Spanish almonds taste the way they do. Most of Spain's almond trees, around 83 percent of the planted area, are grown rainfed, or dry-farmed. That means the trees are not irrigated on demand. Instead they live on winter rainfall held deep in the soil, and they have to work for it through the long, hot Mediterranean summer. That mild-winter, hot-summer climate is ideal for almonds, but the lack of irrigation is the clever part. A tree under gentle water stress produces fewer, smaller nuts, but it concentrates everything into them. Spanish almonds end up with a higher oil content, which is what gives them that soft, juicy texture and intense flavour. Research on rainfed Spanish orchards has even found that this kind of water stress can raise the almonds' polyphenol and antioxidant levels, so the nuts are not just tastier but nutritionally richer too. Soil and weather, working together Spain's almond belt sits on a varied patchwork of soils, from clay to sandy to limestone, and different varieties are matched to the ground that suits them best. Combine those soils with hot, dry, sunny summers and cool winters, and you get slow, natural ripening with no shortcuts. The weather does the work that irrigation does elsewhere, and the result shows up in the cup, or in this case, the kernel. Why we choose organic, from there Dry-farmed Spanish orchards are a natural fit for organic growing. Because the trees are already adapted to a low-input, low-water way of life, organic methods suit them rather than fight them. Good growers use legume cover crops between the trees, which restore soil fertility, hold moisture, prevent erosion and keep the ground alive without synthetic inputs. Organic rainfed farming does come at a cost: yields are a little lower, by roughly ten percent, which is part of why these almonds command a higher price. But studies of these marginal, low-input growing areas consistently find the nuts come out with higher nutritional quality. For us that trade-off is worth it. We would rather have fewer, better almonds, grown in a way that looks after the soil, than a cheaper nut grown intensively. The harvest Almonds are harvested at the end of the long summer, usually from late August into autumn, once the green outer hull has split to reveal the shell inside. Timing is everything, because harvest date has a real effect on the almond's chemical make-up and flavour, so the nuts are picked when they are properly ripe rather than to suit a schedule. Traditionally the trees are shaken and the fallen nuts gathered, then hulled, dried and sorted. It is a rhythm that has barely changed in centuries, and it still produces a better nut. Spanish almonds are not the biggest or the cheapest, and that is exactly the point. Grown on old varieties, dry-farmed under the Mediterranean sun, ripened slowly in varied soils and harvested when they are ready, they offer more oil, more flavour and more goodness per nut. Choosing organic from Spain means choosing the way of growing almonds that puts quality and the land ahead of sheer volume, and you can taste the difference. Variety availability and growing practices vary by season and supplier. Check the product information for details on each almond we stock.

High-protein has moved from the gym bag to the menu board. Customers want protein in their muffins, their morning oats, their grab-and-go bars, and they want it without dairy. If you run a bakery, a cafe, or a food production line, a good plant protein powder is a simple way to add that without reworking your whole recipe book. Here are five single-ingredient, organic powders, what each one does in real food, and how to buy them in volume. What to look for in a baking protein Three things matter once you start cooking with protein powder rather than just shaking it in water. Density tells you how much actual protein you are adding per gram, which matters when you are making a nutrition claim on a label. Flavour decides whether the powder disappears into the recipe or takes it over. And behaviour in the bowl matters most of all, because protein powder absorbs liquid and changes texture, so you usually swap it in for a portion of the flour rather than adding it on top. A safe starting point is to replace 10 to 20 percent of the flour by weight, then add a little extra liquid or fat to keep the crumb soft. Test, taste, adjust. 1. Organic Pea Protein, 85 percent The workhorse for food production. At 85 percent protein it lets you make a strong nutrition claim with the smallest amount of powder, and its neutral, slightly earthy flavour blends into both sweet and savoury formulas. It is the natural base for high-protein breads, bars and even plant-based meat alternatives. Because it is so concentrated, go gently on the substitution rate and watch your hydration, as it will dry a mix out faster than the lower-density seed proteins. 2. Organic Rice Protein, 80 percent Smooth, fine and mildly sweet, brown rice protein has a soft texture that suits lighter, fruitier bakes and works well in cafe smoothies and overnight oats. On its own it is a little low in lysine, but paired with pea protein it gives a complete amino acid profile, which is the trick for vegan products that need to stand up nutritionally. Easy to digest, which is a selling point worth putting on the menu. 3. Organic Pumpkin Seed Protein, 60 percent This one brings character. Cold milled from pumpkin seeds, it has a deep, nutty flavour that shines in darker, heartier products, think seeded loaves, savoury muffins, chocolate or banana bakes, and energy balls. It also carries natural iron, magnesium and zinc, so it adds genuine nutritional depth you can talk about, not just a protein number. 4. Organic Hemp Seed Protein, 50 percent A complete protein in a single ingredient, with all nine essential amino acids, plus fibre and plant-based omega-3 and omega-6. The earthy, nutty taste is made for rustic, wholesome ranges, wholegrain loaves, flapjacks, oat bakes. Lower density than the isolates, so it is more of a wholefood addition than a pure protein hit, which suits a craft or artisan positioning. 5. Organic Sunflower Seed Protein, 50 percent The allergen-friendly all-rounder. Free from nuts, soya, dairy and gluten, it is the safe choice for schools, nurseries, and any venue catering to allergies. The mild, smooth flavour blends into almost anything, from breads and flapjacks to protein bars, which makes it the most flexible powder here for a broad menu. The formulator's trick: pea plus rice Pea protein is high in lysine but lower in methionine. Brown rice protein is the reverse. Combine them, roughly two parts pea to one part rice, and you get a complete amino acid profile comparable to whey. For any vegan product where you want to claim quality protein, this blend is the industry-standard answer. Menu and product ideas For cafes: protein-boosted overnight oats and porridge, smoothies and shakes, energy balls and protein bites by the till, and a higher-protein muffin or banana bread in the cabinet. For bakeries: seeded protein loaves, flapjacks, protein cookies and bars. For producers: high-protein snack formulations, breakfast products, and plant-based meat alternatives where pea protein does the heavy lifting. Buying in bulk All five are available from 250g pouches for recipe testing right up to bulk sacks for production, so you can trial a product before you commit to volume. Bulk pricing as a guide: Pea and Rice protein in 20kg sacks from around £305 to £317, and Pumpkin, Hemp and Sunflower in 25kg sacks from around £359 to £415. That works out to a low cost per gram of protein, especially for the high-density pea and rice options. Get in touch for trade and wholesale enquiries. Whether you want maximum protein with a neutral taste (pea), a soft texture for lighter bakes (rice), a nutty mineral boost (pumpkin), a wholefood complete protein (hemp), or an allergen-free all-rounder (sunflower), there is a powder here to build a menu around. All five are certified organic and single ingredient, which keeps your own ingredient list clean and your story simple. Always test recipes at scale and check each product's specification and allergen information before using it in commercial production.

Spring is the season of "the clean." But while most people are busy scrubbing their baseboards or clearing out the garage, there is a much more important "spring clean" happening at a cellular level. Forget the "detox teas" and the "juice cleanses" you see on social media. Your liver and kidneys don't need a magic cure; they need the right raw materials to do the job they were designed for. Read our Whole Food Earth Guide to the science of the Spring Reset. In the UK, we spend all winter in "stew mode"—heavy, comforting, and often calorie-dense. As the light returns, our biology shifts. Our circadian rhythms change, our activity levels rise, and our bodies begin to crave a different kind of fuel. The problem? Most "healthy" spring snacks are just ultra-processed foods (UPF) in green packaging. To truly reset, we need to look at the real food and real pantry ingredients, not just the marketing. 1. The "Fibre Matrix" vs. Added Fibre You'll see many "healthy" bars claiming to be high in fibre. Usually, this is an industrial extract like inulin. While it counts on a label, it doesn't behave like the fibre found in Whole Food Earth Organic Red Lentils or Organic Chickpeas. The Science: When you eat a whole pulse, the fibre is part of a complex "matrix." It takes your gut bacteria longer to break it down, producing Short-Chain Fatty Acids (SCFAs) like butyrate. These aren't just for digestion; they are scientifically proven to reduce systemic inflammation and even improve your mood. Spring Staple: Swap refined pasta for Quinoa or Red Lentils. 2. Bioavailability: The Fat & Spice Secret Spring is the time to wake up your metabolism, and spices like turmeric and ginger are the biological "alarm clock." However, the active compound in turmeric (curcumin) is notoriously difficult for the body to absorb on its own. The Science: Curcumin is lipophilic (fat-loving). Without a healthy fat, most of it simply passes through you. This is why our Wild Elephant Curry Milks are a win; by infusing organic spices directly into the healthy fats of coconut milk, you significantly increase the bioavailability. You aren't just eating the spice; you're actually absorbing it. 3. Brain Fuel: The Omega Connection Coming out of a long UK winter, many of us suffer from "brain fog." This isn't just a lack of coffee; it's often a lack of essential fatty acids. Your brain is roughly 60% fat, making it the fattiest organ in the body. This high fat content is vital for structure, brain cell communication, and energy. The Science: Walnuts, Flax Seeds, and Chia Seeds provide Alpha-Linolenic Acid (ALA). While the conversion to DHA/EPA is modest, these seeds provide the structural building blocks for your neurons. When you eat them as unprocessed ingredients (not as "fortified" powders in a processed snack), you're also getting the vitamin E and polyphenols that protect those delicate fats from oxidation. 4. The End of the "Sugar Spike" Ultra-processed snacks are designed for "rapid transit"—they hit your bloodstream almost instantly, causing a spike and a crash. The Science: Real, unrefined grains like Basmati Rice or Oats have a lower Glycaemic Load. They provide a slow, steady release of glucose. This keeps your insulin levels stable, which is the key to maintaining energy from your morning dog walk until your evening meal. Your Spring Pantry Checklist If you want to cook easy, high-nutrient meals this season, your cupboard needs these five "Real Food" foundations: The Base: Stock & Prep Basmati Rice The Protein: Red Lentils and Chickpeas (the ultimate fibre-rich "fast food"). The Flavour: Wild Elephant Curry Milks (Yellow for mellow vibes, Red for a metabolic kick). The Crunch: Walnuts and Hemp Seeds (essential fats for the brain). The Oil: Cold-pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil or Cold-pressed Rapeseed Oil (unrefined and anti-inflammatory).

If you have a look in your kitchen cupboard right now, there is a good chance you have a jar of peanut or almond butter sitting there. It's a staple for most of us, whether it's for a quick bit of toast or a post-gym snack. But have you ever wondered why some nut butters are perfectly smooth and solid, while others have a layer of oil sitting on top? The answer usually comes down to one controversial ingredient: palm oil. While it makes for a "convenient" spread, it also turns what should be a simple, healthy food into something that looks a lot more like an ultra-processed product. Here is the truth about what is actually in your jar. The "No-Stir" Trap Supermarkets love palm oil because it is a "stabiliser." In its natural state, the oil in nuts is liquid. If you simply grind up nuts and put them in a jar, the oil will eventually rise to the top. It's a completely natural process. To stop this from happening, many big brands add palm oil (often "hydrogenated" or "hardened" fats). This keeps the nut butter perfectly emulsified so you never have to stir it. While this might save you ten seconds of effort, it changes the biological quality of the food. You are no longer eating just nuts; you are eating a factory-engineered spread designed for shelf-life, not necessarily for your health. Is Nut Butter "Ultra-Processed"? There is a lot of talk in the UK right now about Ultra-Processed Foods (UPF). A simple rule of thumb is: if the ingredient list contains things you wouldn't find in a normal home kitchen, it's probably a UPF. Standard Nut Butters: Often contain palm oil, emulsifiers, sugar, and extra salt. These additives are there to change the texture and make the product more "moreish," but they take away from the natural benefits of the nut. RAWGORILLA Nut Butters: These are the definition of "minimal processing." The ingredient list is exactly one item long: the nut itself. By using traditional stone-grinding, the nuts are turned into a creamy butter without the need for any chemical shortcuts or "filler" fats. Why Stone-Ground Matters Most industrial nut butters are made using high-speed metal blades. These blades get very hot, which can damage the delicate, healthy fats inside the nuts. Rawgorilla uses a stone-grinding process. It's slower and stays much cooler. This protects the natural flavours and ensures that the nutrients stay intact. You get a texture that is naturally creamy because of the quality of the grind, not because of added oils. Why the "Stir" is a Sign of Quality If you open a jar of RAWGORILLA nut butter and see oil on top, don't be put off—celebrate it. That oil is a "signature of honesty." It proves that the product is 100% natural and hasn't been messed with. All you need to do is give it a quick stir to mix those healthy fats back in. Top Tip: To make it easier, store your jar upside down in the cupboard. When you're ready to use it, flip it over, and the oil will have worked its way through the butter naturally. No additives needed You don't need palm oil, sugar, or stabilisers to have a delicious nut butter. By choosing a single-ingredient, stone-ground option, you are avoiding the ultra-processed trap and getting the full benefit of nature's own healthy fats.
