Well, I'm not a vegetarian but I certainly appreciate having Scoopaway close at hand. Come here if…read moreyou're buying anything dry, stuff like pasta, dried fruit, cereals, spices. Quite a range of things really with the emphasis on things being organic and sustainable. Plus. It's all paid for by weight (as the name suggests you just scoop up however much you want) so they cut out loads of needless packaging. A good place to stock up on supplies, it's a actually fairly well priced despite being organic. And of course having museli every morning is a lot cheaper than a bacon sandwich, so a good place if you're tight on cash. Very popular, it can get overcrowded on Saturdays. They stuff quite a lot into a small space, unexpected finds include toiletries (eco-friendly ones, of course). Scoopaways a great idea and a good place for cheap staples.

This is a surprisingly large healthfood mini-supermarket on the Gloucester road. The name suggests…read moredusty wholefoods in troughs but there's really more variety than this. A perfect place for the health and ethically conscious, the shop stocks everything from frozen food to sweets and sundries. I'm a particular fan of the gluten free range, as I have a caeliac friend who I often invite to dinner parties. The staff are always really helpful in showing me what's the best product for my recipe.

So I now find myself at places like this wonderful place just next to the warehouse cafe in Digbeth. I wandered in while waiting to go on Brum Radio and ended up buying my lunch of a thai vegetable wrap and a super red juice. Both were fresh, healthy and wonderful and also massive shouts to the woman behind the counter who was friendly happy and well informed about all of the products. We ended up having a lovely chat after I had paid my £5 for my food/drink....I left smiling and went to eat sat on a wall, in the sun. Ideal. If you are veggie, vegan or health conscious definitely pay this place a visit. 5* experience!

I have an Easi Yo yogurt maker and they sell all the mixes here which is great - my other option is to order them online, and I don't always want to buy 5 packs of yogurt mix without trying them to make sure I like them! This is the best place in town for Christmas cake ingredients. They often have special offers on and a couple of times I've been in to find that everything is half price as part of a one-off sale. Bargainous!

I have trouble digesting without specific enzymes, causing reflux and discomfort. I couldn't eat without them. With 7 days left on our vacation, I was physically and mentally miserable. I googled natural food stores and Wild Oats popped up. I drove 30 miles to get to it, and they had EVERYTHING I needed, plus sugar-free, dairy-free, coconut cream ice cream alternative. The woman at the info counter was busy on her computer but stopped briefly to help me find what I needed. I'm so grateful for Wild Oats' existence!

"Oh great", I thought to myself when I first saw this place, "another health food shop up in 'high…read moresociety' producing delicious looking nosh at absurdly high prices". I was right about the first bit. This is a wonderful little store with a really down-to-earth and funky vibe. From the snazzy and colourful (Caribbean influenced?) frontage to the actual products on display it's clear that a lot of thought has gone into this enterprise. The focus is on organic, fresh and healthy food and drink. Towards the back of the shop the store opens up into a huge back room filled with excellent raw foods, cleaning products, teas and so much more. There's often a good little deal on the go so things really aren't too dear - and the owner's lovely too! A real gem this one.

The shop is split into 2 levels, with the supplements and cosmetics side of things upstairs and mainly food downstairs. There is also a little independant health therapist office upstairs. The lady that works in there is lovely. She does my Nan's feet all the time and comes highly recommended. The main reason that I go in there is for the occasional vegan treats that they have, which are a wide range of faux meats and cheeses, dairy free cheesecakes and ice cream and mixes/spreads. The sales staff I never find to be very accomodating, I have to be honest. A couple of them have been quite snippy with me before, but you can't be too picky about where you shop when barely anywhere in the area stocks things that you can eat! Overall the range of goods wins, thumbs up.

The shop is huge and I often find I spend a lot longer in there than anticipated. I visited with my mum last week as we wanted to stock up with some yummy health food goodies and grab some supplements. They carry a lot of general food and health food items - stocking items I can't manage to find anywhere else (Oat Bran) and having a wide choice within each range. Upstairs they also have a health beauty department. The staff are polite and fairly friendly. The only drawback is having to spend over £5 to use your card. My mom wasn't offered her OAP discount either - make sure you ask!

As someone who is desperately trying to convert to a healthy diet, Whitchurch Health Foods makes the process far less daunting. The shop is full of yummy yet healthy treats (I still can't quite believe that healthy choc ices actually exist). Whilst the focus is unquestionably on food, it must be mentioned that they have a selection of toiletries made from natural sources (the Aloe Vera lip balm, is a personal fave of mine). The staff can appear slightly quiet, however the lady serving me recently, went out of her way to tell me that they had a very similar product to the one I was buying, on sale at a reduced price (very kind).
