AS NATURE INTENDED, SHOREDITCH: REVIEW
As Part 2 of my health food shop investigation, I took a trip to As Nature Intended in Shoreditch. This shop was exciting.
The best thing about it was an isle full of re-fill containers! They had loads of things, like nuts, seeds, grains, cereal, popcorn... There's even a selection of re-fill coffee beans and a grinder! They have little paper bags to collect the ground up coffee, but you can probably bring your own container as well.
They have a pretty good household items section - I was also pretty happy to find some biodegradable bin liners and loo roll in bio packaging. Sorted!
