More and more people are discovering that they react unfavourably to many of the common ingredients found in supermarket foods, household and beauty products. Reactions can vary from simply feeling tired and lethargic to other much more major health issues. Here at Real Foods we have been helping people fight food allergies and intolerance with direct action for almost 55 years by supplying a wide range of healthy, wholesome, natural and free from foods, household and beauty products. We are proud to say that our shops have served three generations of discriminating shoppers. Here's a photo of some of our shelves from the 1980s, filled with of soya milk including from brands we still sell today such as Plamil:

Having food allergies or intolerance can mean that you feel like you are missing out on your favourite foods so the lovely team in Real Foods kitchen have put many hours into creating delicious alternative recipes which the rest of the team has spent much less time sampling. Why not try for example these truly gorgeous Aduki bean brownies - we know it sounds a bit bizarre, but we can honestly say that they are just as good as brownies made with gluten flour and far more healthy! Or for a tasty tea time treat try this competition winning wheat free banana bread recipe.
