Welcome!
Welcome to Sunnies! An all natural, health food store based in Seattle, Washington. Life can get busy, so finding foods that are both delicious and good for us can escape our grasp. That's why we use only the best for quick, shelf-stable snacks you can grab and go. At Sunnies, we pride ourselves with using only ingredients found in nature: honey, nuts, fruits, vegetables, grains, and other entirely pronounceable ingredients. No artificial preservatives, sweeteners, dyes, colors, flavors, or synthetics ever. We believe that the key to good holistic health often begins with the diet. Finding bioavailable nutrients, vitamins, and minerals in foods is extremely important to one’s wellbeing. Natural ingredients have the highest bioavailable nutrient rates out of any synthetic foods. In consuming them, your body recognizes the food as nutrients and vitamins and absorbs them much more efficiently and effectively. This allows your body to work at its peak; by fueling it properly, your body functions properly.
We're Glad You're Here
Cultivating and expanding our community is a journey we always want to be working on. All are welcome into this big family. Here, we believe that our snacks make us a part of something more, and we invite you to, too. Caring for your body, soul, and mind, we are working towards something bigger than food. We celebrate progress, enjoyment, and balance, not just eating healthy. That’s why our community is different.
Keeping It Organic
Organic matters to us. Organic produce is produce that had no pesticides sprayed while or after growing. And that is what we use. By keeping harmful chemicals out of our foods, you are getting more natural ingredients that get along with your body, not work against it. Studies show that pesticides can be harmful to humans, causing irritation, chronic illnesses, and even death. We take every step we can to ensure the best for our customers, so you can live life to the fullest without worrying about chemicals in what you are eating. No toxins, no chemicals, just natural, organic, earth-grown foods. For you.
Antioxidants: Our Take
What does ‘natural’ means to us? Natural means more than just existing in nature. Yes, that too. But natural to us is the history of the product and its freshness. If the product has been shipped across the country three times, frozen, thawed, and refrozen twelve times, and blended into a paste, mixed with older paste of the same product, yes it could still be from nature, but we wouldn’t say that is natural. We want you to have the best, especially when it comes to ingredients. Most of our product (excluding tropical produce) is grown in Washington State, so it is picked when it is ripe and it is used before it goes bad.
Ensuring ripeness before it is picked is a part of why we hand pick the farms providing us produce. To ensure maximum bioavailable nutrients in our products, we receive produce that is ripe, not underripe or overripe. When produce is ripe, it is at its higher concentration of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, which in turn allows your body to absorb better what the produce provides.
How we treat our ingredients after we obtain them matters to us. While ingredients themselves matter, we also need to pay attention to what a company does with them. All of our produce is stored at appropriate temperatures until dried, packaged, or cooked. We do not use artificial dyes, sweeteners, flavors, or artificially ripen our products.
