I'm looking at the best place to shop (probably online) for health foods in the UK e.g. flaxseed, coconut oil, healthy cereals etc.

I obviously know of Holland & Barret, but wondered if anyone has anywhere else they can recommend?

Much appreciated

    H&B are a good place to start, but check your prices, some of the items they have are actually cheaper at places like Sainsburys!

    There is a good little shop opposite belsize park tube that sells all that stuff. If you are ever up that way I would recommend them!

    I was surprised by how much stuff Morrisons has when you look for it. I use Holland and Barratt too but find it's so expensive and a lot of their stuff is not healthy. Bags of dried fruit often have a lot of sugar added for example.

    This is maybe not helpful but have you checked your local bt/yellow pages type? We have a couple of little health food shops and the people in there might be a bit nutty, and I wouldn't necessarily trust their advice, but wow their prices are much better than H&B! And no postage.

    if you are near London, they have a Whole Foods Store (like the american one) round the back of Piccadilly Circus, it's well expensive but a really fun visit. and their salmon burgers are amazing.

    Sainsburys has a good selection. Wholefoods are in Stoke Newington if that's close to you but I think they have other locations. Online Graze seems to be a good bet, but I've never purchased from them

    Amazon has a lot of items in stock.

    Planet Organic is a great site for organic and health foods. Fresh veg from them always lasts plenty long.

    Those 2 are my favorites. Amazon for any supplements, PO for organic meat and veg and health foods. They have amazing snacks there too, cacao coated gooseberries from here are amazing.

    Waitrose usually has chard and organic beets with the greens still attached which I like to buy.

    I get most of my stuff from Tesco (other supermarkets are available!)....much cheaper than health food shops!

    I get my main bulk of fresh food from Abel and Cole (delivered each week) I also get fresh soups, yoghurt, eggs, bread and dry goods from there too.

    I get a few other bits and pieces like nuts and dried fruit and dark chocolate from Waitrose, I get Nakd bars and steel cut oats in bulk from Amazon and supplements from a local health food store (they sell Solgar brand)
