Pulses & dry blends
Lentil, bean, and split-pea bases with sodium called out per 100 g and per suggested serving. Cooking times reference soaked and unsoaked paths when relevant.
Plant catalogue
Shelves you can read without a magnifier
Every SKU in the plant-forward assortment is laid out with the same column rhythm: hero image, ingredient block, nutrition snapshot, allergen summary, and end-of-life symbols. We built the layout that way because comparison should feel like sliding cards on a table—not like decoding fine print on three different brand systems.
What sits inside the plant-forward lane
“Plant-based” here means foods where primary ingredients are legumes, whole grains, vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, and plant oils. We still carry honest notes when a facility also handles allergens or when a supplier uses animal-derived processing aids elsewhere in their network—those statements sit beside the ingredient list, not in a footnote you need to hunt for.
We do not rank products as universally “better” for specific goals. Taste, texture, sodium level, and packaging format vary; we describe those attributes so you can match items to your own preferences and routines.
Visual consistency, photograph to icon
Pack shots use the same lighting temperature so colour differences reflect the food, not the studio. Icons for chemical-free emphasis, biodegradable sleeves, and recyclable trays follow one stroke weight—borrowed from our design system—so scanning a grid of cards does not feel like switching brands every row.
When a product is seasonal, we publish an expected window and update the page if harvest shifts. Out-of-stock SKUs show a restock estimate when our buyers have one; otherwise the page explains the delay plainly.
Families you will see in the grid
Below is a high-level map—not every subcategory is listed, but it mirrors how filters behave on the live catalogue.
Chilled bars & rounds
Shorter shelf life with visible best-before fields and temperature bands for receiving teams.
Pantry oils & seasonings
Smoke points for oils at a glance; spice blends list anti-caking agents when present.
Bakery helpers
Flours, leaveners, and egg-alternative mixes with hydration notes for home bakers.
Labels we treat as part of the product
Allergen box and bolding
Canada-aligned bolding on first mention, plus a boxed summary you can screenshot for school or workplace kitchens. Updates propagate within one business day when suppliers confirm a formula change.
Country of origin clusters
When ingredients come from multiple regions, we list clusters instead of a vague “imported” string.
End-of-life symbols
Paper-only, film-only, or mixed-material tags appear next to the photography so sorting at home stays realistic.
Cross-contact language
Shared equipment statements use consistent phrasing across SKUs to reduce ambiguity when you compare similar items.
Pair with the nutrition hub
Figures on plant cards intentionally mirror portion sizes used in nutrition articles. Open the hub when you want parallel numbers for legumes, grains, or blended drinks without juggling multiple tabs.
Need a specification pack?
Retail dietitians and buyers can request consolidated specification PDFs through the contact form. Include SKUs, store banner, and whether you need bilingual copies.
