This week’s obsession comes from Crystal at The Source Camberwell in Melbourne ❤️

The Source Bulk Foods Camberwell

🍫 Organic Cacao Powder

Rich, deep in colour with a decadent, full-bodied chocolate flavour and aroma.😍 The Source organic cacao powder is roasted at very low temperatures, helping retain the natural antioxidants, flavonoids, magnesium and other essential minerals.

Try organic cacao in puddings, beverages, raw food recipes and homemade chocolate.

Enjoy daily by including 1-2 tsp in smoothies or with your milk of choice.

It’s no surprise why cacao is a team and pantry favourite! 🙌🏼😋

Have you tried it yet or is it already your go-to for smoothies, homemade chocolate or a delicious chocolatey treat? 🍫👇

Switch refined for real and ditch the plastic packaging while you're at it!

Organic rapadura sugar is less processed, unrefined and full of the rich, natural flavour and benefits of sugarcane.

We’ve seen customers bring in:

✔️ Ice cream containers
✔️ Yoghurt tubs
✔️ Biscuit tins
✔️ Mason jars

When we say bring any container... we mean ANY container 😆

What’s the strangest thing you've ever reused?

08/07/2026

It might not feel like much in the moment.

But that’s exactly how big changes start.

07/07/2026

You might use a shampoo bottle for a month but the plastic could stick around for hundreds of years.

That's why refilling matters.

Not because you need to be perfect. Because one simple habit repeated over time can make a huge difference.

06/07/2026

Australians throw away around 80 million shampoo bottles a year!
Imagine what a huge difference changing to a shampoo bar could make.

05/07/2026

We are not like the supermarkets and that’s just the way we like it.

01/07/2026

There’s something satisfying about buying exactly what you need.

No excess packaging.
No half-used bags hiding in the pantry.

Just good food, measured your way 🍚

Same pantry staple. Very different story.

One has travelled through large-scale processing, packaging and distribution.

The other is grown using biodynamic farming principles on a family farm and sold without unnecessary packaging.

Sometimes a small change starts with knowing where your food comes from. 🌾

Whether you're cooking with jasmine, basmati, brown, long grain, wild rice or another favourite, you'll find a great selection of quality rice in store to suit every meal.

The domino effect is real ♻️

One small change leads to another… and before you know it, you’re shopping smarter, wasting less and building habits that actually stick.

Join our Small Changes Challenge! Visit us in-store or head to our website for plenty of tips and inspiration on small changes you can make — and start inspiring others too.

This week’s Small Change? Rice. 🍚

One of the most used pantry staples in Australia, but not all rice is created equal. This week we’re exploring the difference between mass-produced supermarket rice and more thoughtfully sourced alternatives, plus why buying only what you need can make a bigger impact than you think.

Stay tuned for simple swaps, interesting facts, and don't forget about your chance to win our weekly zero waste pantry kit. 💚 Sign up on our website or in-store!
