Whether you have a walk-in pantry, a larder unit or a simple storecupboard, show it some love with Suma Wholefoods
So often, convenience trumps quality, which is why there’s something deeply rewarding about slowing down and making thoughtful choices for yourself and the planet. When life gets hectic, having a cupboard full of simple ingredients allows us to make meals that bring comfort and nourishment. Suma Wholefoods – a worker-owned co-operative based in Yorkshire – is committed to providing organic, Fairtrade, and sustainable products that help you make nourishing meals while staying true to your values.
Ingredients that matter
One of the joys of a Suma Wholefoods pantry is knowing that each item is ethically, fairly and sustainably sourced, ideal for those seeking more mindful living. Imagine opening your cupboard and finding whole grains like organic quinoa, bulgur wheat, and arborio rice, ready to nourish body and soul. Staples in any kitchen, they’re a great starting point for comforting stews, risottos, or grain bowls and can be easily adapted to whatever seasonal produce you have in.
Then, there are the pulses. Suma’s range of lentils, chickpeas and beans is great for those looking for simplicity. A jar of lentils can quickly become a warming soup or a hearty stew, giving you sustenance on even the busiest of autumn days. They’re affordable, versatile, and packed with plant-based protein – keeping you and your family full and happy.
Beyond the basics
No pantry or storecupboard is complete without the essentials that bring depth and warmth to your dishes. Suma’s organic tinned tomatoes, beans, and coconut milk are the simple foundations for easy, nourishing meals. These basics, paired with Suma’s range of dried herbs and spices, allow you to effortlessly create rich, flavourful meals that feel special without excess time and or effort.
Suma’s range of nuts, seeds, and dried fruits make a healthy snack or can be added to dishes for extra texture and nutrition. Try sprinkling chia seeds on your breakfast oats or tossing almonds into a salad for an easy dash of goodness.
Treat yourself, mindfully
There are also times when it’s essential to indulge a little. A mug of coffee and a home baked treat offers a simple way to unwind during a busy day, reminding you of the joy in small, mindful pleasures. Suma’s Fairtrade-certified organic Peruvian coffee, grown by a co-operative of women farmers, provides an ideal pick-me-up. Well balanced and smooth, this coffee not only tastes great but also supports sustainable farming communities. Pair it with a homemade flapjack made from organic Scottish jumbo oats and sweet medjool dates – simple, yet satisfying, and packed with fibre and slow-release energy for a healthy boost. Ethical and sustainable, food done fairly.
