We chose Essential Trading because they specialise in wholesale organic, fairtrade and vegan products. There are others that do the same - Suma in particular was recommended - but Essential is based in Bristol, and it just feels right to support a local organisation.
While browsing their catalogue, I came across some very interesting products indeed, most notably these (expensive, granted) products from a company called Zaytoun
.
I won't delve in to my views on the Israel/Palestine 'situation' but lets just say I felt genuinely excited to see these products. Not that I can necessarily afford them!
There are of course much more mainstream products available, but am I the only one who feels a little bit of joy at buying fairtrade and organic baked beans?! Maybe... but happy browsing all the same!
