Buy in Bulk

Naturally's Editor-in-Chief and Eco-lifestyle expert Danny Seo shares how the bulk bin can save you up to 90%

From the LifeMinute team
To bulk or not to bulk, that is the question. Eco-lifestyle expert and Editor-in-Chief of the brand new magazine Naturally Danny Seo debunks the myths about the bulk bin and serves up savvy shopping tips for bulking up.
It's Economical AND Ecological

Did you know it's about 90% cheaper when you buy from the bulk bin versus buying packaged goods? Danny says this is because bulk bins cut down on the packaging product waste and pass savings along to the shoppers. Whole Foods Market also offers organic or non-GMO products free of artificial preservatives, colors, flavors, sweeteners and hydrogenated fats.

It Lets You Sample

If you always wanted to try something, but didn't want to buy a whole package, then the bulk bin is perfect for you. Danny says instead of committing to a full package of something new, you can buy a little and decide if you like it without wasting food or money.

The Perfect Ingredients

Danny notes that recipes usually call for fewer ingredients than come in a package of the product, which makes the bulk bin ideal for getting exactly the amount that you need. How do you know how much to scoop out of the bin? A typical full scoop equals about two cups, so half a scoop equals one cup. And don't worry about the ingredients being fresh.... "At Whole Foods Market, all bulk items are replenished, and the bin works with a gravitation system, which means as people use the bins the product inside is constantly rotating to keep the freshest ingredients readily available for shoppers," says Danny.
