A few years ago, I traveled through Canada with my husband for almost a year and a half. The further into the outback we went, the more often we had to go weeks without our favorite hiking food, because there were no healthy organic nuts to buy anywhere. The ones you could get were then neither organic quality and mostly these were also imported from directly from China. So we were looking for a possibility to buy our beloved nuts in larger quantities.

In a small village called Nelson near the Kootenays in British Columbia we finally found our dream store. There we could finally buy all kinds of nuts, superfoods and dried fruits – and finally in large quantities at really fair prices. On top of that, their whole assortment was organic – now I was really happy, because as a trained cook it is very important to me to cook only with the best ingredients – because I love good food. We hoped to find such a store in Switzerland after our return.

Back in Switzerland, we were both very disappointed – because there is a lot of choice here, but often only in very small quantities at often horrendous prices. After some consideration, the idea was born to rather set up a store ourselves and to show the “big ones” that it can be done differently.

Nuts are a very valuable source of protein, especially for vegetarians and vegans. Since we as well as good quality and low prices also the animal welfare is very close to our hearts, we would also like to achieve with our store that really everyone can afford to eat a lot of good nuts.
Because nuts are not only suitable for direct consumption, but are also ideally suited for cooking – only this is usually done reluctantly when the pack is so expensive.
Nuts are known not only wonderful “brain food”, but especially for children instead of sweet stuff, as a quick snack on the work table or during trips and hikes, the small energy wonders are always with you.
