I’m not a big fan of bottled water, but this brand that sources water “drawn from deep inside the lush, green ancient volcanoes of the Auvergne in France” recently announced a partnership with Whole Planet Foundation to donate a portion of proceeds to 50 microloans across the globe. Filtered through a volcano or not, that’s one cause I can get behind. Learn more about Volvic
"Unboxed" is where we review brand spankin' new natural products. This week, we tasted a gourmet olive oil full of grassy and bright flavors, protein bars packed with hemp, snack crisps made from banana and spirulina. Notably, we tried Sir Kensington's new condiments "Special Sauce" and "Dijonnaise"—two beautifully made mayos that will definitely become a staple in your cold case.

A rainbow of organic hemp protein bars that deliver on taste and nutrition. My fave: Cacao Dragon (in blue), which contains figs, brazil nuts, dragon fruit, hemp protein powder, hemp seeds, cacao powder, coconut nectar, dates and even blue-green algae. From a brand dedicated to legalizing hemp agriculture in the United States (yes, it’s still illegal to grow this non-hallucinogenic crop). Learn more about Evo Hemp
You’ve seen single-origin coffee and cocoa, but you likely haven’t seen commodities like rice, sugar and salt sourced from individual farms. In a move for greater transparency, this brand consciously sources rice from the Punjab region of India, organic raw cane sugar from Costa Rica and salt from the Himalayas. By shortening the supply chains for these crops, this company attains unparalleled traceability. Learn more about The Real Co.
