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.

A perfect place for the health and ethically conscious, the shop stocks everything from frozen food to sweets and sundries.

The staff are always really helpful in showing me what's the best product for my recipe.

They also have fruit and nut bars, protein bars and supplements. I went in looking for diabetic sugar alternatives, and was pleased to discover that they not only stocked it, but charged the same decent price as Holland & Barretts. There is a wide range of natural and organic cosmetics, shampoos, lotions and the like. They have a great range of sea salt scrubs in a number of enchantingly tempting flavours. This shop is not all fancy and hippy like you might think. Instead it's a sensible and well laid out store that does exactly what it says it does; provides health and beauty products. And a good range at a good price.

Pro Health and Nutrition is like a mini-Beanfreaks (for those of you familiar with the Cardiff city…read morecentre health food store), offering a wide range of products from pills to protein shakes. The store interior is a bit dated and the carpet could use replacing, but the stock here more than makes up for it. I even found Tom's of Maine deodorant, which I've only seen back home in the States, priced at £3.80 (it's aluminium free, which is apparently better for you. Whether that's true or not remains to be seen). Pro Health also carries a wide range of beauty products, many of them natural and organic (I was pleased to see an extensive selection of items made using tea tree oil), as well as protein supplements, nuts, and vitamins. Pro Health also sell poncy teas like Clipper, which I fail to find at competing stores, so major points for that.

Healthy eating seems to be all the rage these days (which is hardly a bad thing), but Whitchurch…read moreHealth Foods has been around long before we had celebrities declaring that they fit into that size zero dress purely through healthy eating (as if). 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).

Great for juices, non-alcoholic wine and flavoured instant coffees, too. What I especially liked were the lovely tall jars (in wonderful shapes) of flavoured olive oils, and vinegars, and the ones stuffed with colourful chillies, star fruits, and cherries. I couldn't believe they were from £3.69 to £5.19 - they look more expensive. Perfect for beautiful and unusual gifts for Christmas!! A pleasant, friendly lady serving who was offering everyone a free small glass of Rochester's Non-Alcoholic Ginger Wine - which naturally I had to have! (There was a special offer of 3 for £10.00). It's great to look out for their monthly special offers. There's a small selection of nice china as well. Strongly recommended altogether!

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.
