Organic Paradise

I recently went through a 7-​day fasting detox program, and have vowed to live a more healthy lifestyle –starting from eating better quality, more nutritious and organic food. This place is really a paradise — it has it ALL. It has pretty much all of the best organic produce, grains, plant food stocked, and fresh. It also sells ionized alkaline water, which I faithfully come and buy with my water containers.
In addition (here the best part), one of the two stores is a café, where you can eat a healthy and TASTY meal. They carry lots of different types of chocolates (made from Carob powder, the healthy alternative of chocolate), coconut yogurts and other ready-​to-​eat food. I LOVE this place! WIll be coming here every week, and live healthy!

From the outside this appears to be a grubby little shop. Black plastic crates of lemons, oranges and grapefruits look singularly unappetising. I almost walked past with my nose turned up, but I glanced through the dank little doorway and changed my mind. As you walk through, the shop takes shape — it becomes lighter, more inspiring and more stocked.
This is foodie and health heaven, much as the shop’s name suggests. The refrigerated cabinet holds all manner of cheeses — goat, feta, sheep, cheddar, ricotta as well as yoghurt, milk and butter. An effort to keep things natural and local has clearly been made. Further down is a wonderful shelf stocked with hundreds of brown paper packages, containing a huge variety of seeds, beans, grains and flours. I can’t imagine there is anything missing from this pulse-​paradise. I love the fact it’s all wrapped organically with labels describing exactly what is within, the nutritional information and cooking instructions. On the opposite side of the shop is a bizarre array of vast plastic tubs and containers which look as if they’d be better placed in a factory. But, on closer inspection, they are enormous pots of weird and wonderful substances such as agave nectar — usually very difficult to track down. Finally, at the back of the shop is a fabulous fruit and vegetable section, resplendent with purple carrots, crunchy lettuces and shiny fruit.
This is a wonderful shop for anyone who likes organic, top quality food. Living healthily seems so easy in a place such as this, where all those tough-​to-​find products have their place on the shelves. It is quite expensive, but you can’t put a price on top quality produce. This shop is frequently crammed with customers, glowing at the sight of such healthy food. Perhaps the Organic Paradise and Suveran’s rather dishevelled exterior is a cunning ploy to keep one of Bondi’s best-​kept secrets under wraps.

This organic fruit and vegetable shop is ajoined with the health food café ‘the Suveran’ two doors down. The staff here are friendly and helpful and have got good quality fruit, vegetable, nuts, cocoa beans, chocolate and other items that are all organic. For your first ten dollars spent here as well you get a free coconut and can also make savings if you order in bulk. I was amazed by their large rice bags filled with quinoa and not rice!
