Rhythm 108 (plastic-free vegan biscuits, no palm oil)
Rhythm 108 is a Swiss brand of biscuits that are vegan, free from palm oil and sold in plastic-free packaging (the wholesale individually-wrapped biscuits are ideal for cafes and restaurants, to serve alongside drinks).
Flavours include:
- Coconut Crunch
- Lemon Ginger Chia
- Salted Caramel
- Hazelnut Chocolate Praline
- Hazelnut Chocolate Chip
- Double Chocolate Hazelnut
- Chocolate Peanut Butter
There are only a few brands on sale that are both vegan and without palm oil, so it may be easier to learn how to bake your own. But if you do wish to buy them (or need to buy some for wholesale), here are better brands.
Recycle packaging at supermarket bag bins, if your kerbside doesn’t recycle.
Why choose palm-oil-free biscuits?
Most store-bought biscuits are made with palm oil, its use is destroying the habitats of orangutans and other endangered creatures in Borneo and Indonesia. There is no need to use it (it’s simply put in products because it’s cheaper than supporting our farmers with rapeseed oil). Read more on reasons to avoid palm oil.
Greenepace says the phrase ‘sustainable palm oil’ is as useful as a chocolate teapot. The RSPO is just a self-policed organisation, and has no sustainability credentials, to protect forests from logging.
So if you are looking for a pack of biscuits to hand around, this is one of the better brands to choose.
