Everything you need to know about plant-based living
First of all: what is plant based?
Plant-based eating covers all kinds of lifestyle choices.
Flexitarian (those who occasionally eat meat or fish), vegetarian (usually those who avoid meat but not all animal products), and vegan (those who consume no animal by-products at all).
Why plant based?
Maybe you’ve heard that eating more plants helps the environment (you heard right) or perhaps you’re looking to include more fruit, veg and grains for health reasons.
Whatever your motivation, we’re here to make plant-based eating easy, delicious and sustainable.
Why Woolies?
Apart from all the ready-made meal options and wide variety of grains, pulses and plant-based options, our delicious, sustainably-grown fresh fruit and veg stays fresh for longer.
We start at the very beginning. We work with farmers to choose the perfect seeds for our climate and stay involved all the way through to carefully planned transport and cleverly designed packaging. Every single item is kept at exactly the perfect temperature from the farm all the way to our shelves.
Why sustainably grown?
When you choose responsibly grown fruit and veg, you aren’t just looking after your body. You’re also helping local farmers support their families and communities.
How can I find my food?
It’s easy to find all the plant-based options. Just look for the leaf.
