A pleasant democratization
Now available in most specialist organic stores, bulk has become more popular for dry products. This is a development that is close to our hearts, which we congratulate and support!
Our choices
We decided to organize our laboratory production so that we could meet this growing demand for purchasing by the kilo with as little packaging as possible.
We are pleased to be able to offer some superfoods for sale by the kilo, but only on a specific selection. We explain why! Being in an approach to offer products that are as raw as possible and as close as possible to their original flavor, we use little or no preservatives and use gentle drying methods.
As a result, some superfoods are difficult to offer in bulk for optimal conversation reasons. The sensitivity and volatility of the products are also obstacles to bulk sales, especially on the shelves!
Priority to product conservation and quality
Our goal is to ensure you get the best quality, except in the bulk sections, imagine the massacre, floors covered in spirulina!!Micro-algae, for example, would lose their chlorophyll (the green becomes dull) and therefore their virtues if they were not protected from light and humidity. Furthermore, products containing a significant amount of Omega are very sensitive and risk oxidizing very quickly when they are 100% natural.
Our recommendations
We strongly recommend that, even for the most robust superfoods (cocoa beans, aguaymanto berries, etc.), once received in bulk, you transfer them into your jars and place them in a cupboard away from light.*
The advantages of our bulk:
- you will continue to have all the nutritional data, usage advice and best before dates that are sometimes missing from supermarket shelves.
- undergoing no intermediate passages or handling, our bulk arrives directly to you while respecting the strict hygiene rules that we apply to all our products in our Charente laboratory.
- and above all, what is good for the planet is also good for your wallet since our bulk is proportionally less expensive per kg.
*For açaï: once the bulk bag is opened, remember to place it in the fridge or in a cool place where there is no risk of temperature variations.
