Biona (paper-packed organic pantry basics)
Biona is an organic food brand that produces all your basic grocery items for the food cupboard. What’s different is that it now offers all these items in paper packaging.
Read up on food safety for people and pets. For tinned ingredients, rinse/remove lids (or pop ring-pulls over holes) then step on upper cans to pinch rims together, to stop wildlife getting trapped.
Unless you have food waste bins, just bin pepper and allium scraps (onion, leeks, garlic, shallot, chives), citrus/tomato/rhubarb scraps. To avoid acids harming compost creatures.
There are over 30 items in the range, which you can find in independent health stores and farm shops, or in some supermarkets. Or stock up online:
- Rice (risotto, basmati, jasmine, sushi, pudding)
- Wholegrain and White Penne, Fusilli, Spaghetti
- Millet, quinoa, bulgar, fonio
- Brown and Green Lentils
- Amaranth and polenta
- Dark-chocolate coated cherries or strawberries
If you eat a lot of these foods, earn loyalty points online, for big savings with regular purchases.
