The goal of the Wholefoods Handbook has always been to introduce people to foods they may be unfamiliar with or not know how to use – to boost individual health, organic shop sales and organics throughout New Zealand. By demystifying items sold in bulk, it helps shoppers save money, reduce packaging and get the amount they want.

Proceeds from sales of the Wholefoods Handbook support community groups and organic and environmental organisations and projects throughout New Zealand. In keeping with the original philosophy for the book, the format is basic so the price can be kept low for affordability.
