CO-PROMOTION WITH REAL FOODS, EDINBURGH FREE LOVE TO FREE-FROM, WE’VE BEEN WITH YOU ALL THE WAY
For 50 years we’ve been at the forefront of a food revolution. In 1963, when Britain was in thrall to its new sugar-coated cereals and sliced white bread, we began rallying for more real food for the nation.
Revolution was in the air, and we were there all the way as new ideas like vegetarianism and environmentalism gathered force among freethinkers. We helped you fight food allergies and intolerance with direct action, in the form of free-from foods and we’re proud to say our shop counter has served three generations of counter-culture shoppers.
• Real - choice with a huge range of free-from foods. Whether coeliac, vegan, raw, or diabetic, there’s no need to feel restricted by your special diet at Real Foods.
• Healthy - meat-free, dairy-free, wheat and gluten-free options so you can get the nutrition you need to keep marching through the day.
• Foods - that won’t break the bank, so your body can get the balanced diet it needs without any protest.
As you can see, if you’re looking for special diet foods, Real Foods can bring you peace of mind with great value and great choice.
