About us
At vedge we’re crazy about carrots, bonkers about broccoli and potty about peppers.
Why?
Because we know that the more you eat, the better you’re likely to feel.
And like you, we want healthy to be handy (and tasty).
So we give veg some punch, and make them easy to munch.
vedge bars aren’t a substitute for fresh veg though – nothing beats that,
or other fresh whole plant foods!
In fact, we’d love it if you read about all our ingredients, here,
so you know exactly what vedge bars contain.
Without getting too serious about it, we’re sick and tired of food companies only talking about the good ingredients they use, and conveniently forgetting about the others (and the impact of processing them). We think they have a duty to be as open and honest about their products as possible, so we hope to take a lead in this area.
There’s a bigger picture too.
We’re also passionate about making healthy food as accessible as possible, but we know that our bars aren’t cheap. We’re always working hard to lower the price without sacrificing quality or nutrition, but to make sure that we’re doing something to make healthy food more accessible now, we purchase surplus fruit and veg (that would otherwise go to waste) from ODDBOX and donate it to people and places where it can make a real difference.
We’ve started by getting a weekly subscription for the Loughborough Community Centre at the Max Roach Centre in Brixton. During school term time, they pass the fruit and veg on to local families that might not otherwise get the benefits of it. And during school holidays they’ll use it in their cooking classes for local children, which are a great way of establishing healthy eating habits.
With your support, we hope to be able to buy many more fresh fruit and veg subscriptions for worthy causes in the future.
vedge bars were developed in partnership with Gurpareet Bains.
