Find ethical food at your fingertips

Ethical, essential foods are literally at your fingertips and just a few clicks away now with the launch of www.ethicallyessential.coop from the 24th June 2009.

This new online shop features a wide range of ethical foods from store cupboard essentials (such as cereals, pulses, seeds and fairtrade chocolate spread) to more exotic and unusual fare (such as Fairtrade red quinoa, biodynamic Egyptian herbal teas, wild-gathered dried mushrooms and Fairtrade herbs and spices).

Increasingly people are seeking foods that are ethical – not just organic, vegetarian and vegan. www.ethicallyessential.coop makes it easy for people to make a sustainable choice by offering an ethical shopping basket at the push of a button.  People can shop with confidence, knowing that every single product has proven provenance and is ethically and/or fairly traded.The wide range of goods is sourced from fairtrade producers, farming communities and co-operatives across the world.  They are brought to the Uk by Essential Trading, a long-established worker co-operative based in Bristol that specialises in working alongside ethical producers and suppliers, adhering to its own principled ethos.

www.ethicallyessential.coop is also educational by offering cooking instructions and information about the producers and telling the stories behind the products.  It gives a little more insight into how the food is produced and explains how purchases from the site can benefit communities across the world.
