I love wholefoods and the opportunity to buy in bulk! I’d long known my Northie friends were being well serviced by Angry Almond in Nedlands but I yearned for something a little closer to home… it’s hard living South of the River in Perth y’know!
The discovery of Loose Produce in Como therefore was like a birthday, Christmas, Easter & any other gift-receiving holiday that exists, all thrown at me in one glorious “HURRAH!”
The great thing about Loose Produce is the attention to detail that goes into presenting their many, many wares.
Nutritional information, origin & a detailed list of ingredients are presented on the majority of their products, so if you’re like me and read more backs of packets than books – you’ll be right at home.
Those with a naughty sweet tooth will be thrilled with over 50 choices of bulk lollies, while the slightly healthier sweet lovers among us will be happy with the wide range of dried fruits including blueberries & goji berries. Our baking friends will marvel at the loose cake mixtures, sprinkles and bread mixes available for sale!
Gluten-free products are well-signed as are organic options, with an “I’m organic!” sticker to help you navigate your way to chemical free wonderland.
A really novel setup they have going is the “Jar Exchange Program” whereby people with jars they no longer need can bring them down to the store and those who would like to use them to fill with produce can do so!
There’s a dedicated Asian section, pasta, herbs & spices, organic fruit & veg, organic meat and so much more… you’ll just have to go down there to check it all out!
The only thing I would change is quite nit-picky; as I’m a vegetarian I’d prefer that the cold meat (which is spread out across two fridges) be contained to one fridge so the other products that are sharing space with them have less chance of being contaminated by the meat. Aside from that, I love the whole place!
Loose Produce is a pantry organisers dream, little jars to pick up and fill with all manner of tasty delights.
When you take your presumably many choices to the counter, you’re met with Larabars, vegan cookies and more snacks than you can poke an organic stick at. Just try saying no.
LP also run a variety of workshops which you can browse on their website and often have reflexology and kinesiology experts visiting the store.

Ooo I wish there was a place like that near me! Nedland’s is still a bit far away for me to go
Where abouts are you located? I love wholefoods stores!!! 😀
Reason enough to cross over the big scary river. Sounds like a great place. I am a label reader too 🙂
Go Conor! Cross that river! It’s really quite nice over this side… 😀
I love reading labels, grocery shopping is totally my THING! I love reading heaps and heaps of jars to find the one lowest in salt, saturated fats etc etc … it’s possibly bordering on obsessive compulsive.
I’m in Ballajura 🙂 The Malaga Markets has a pretty decent fruit & veg section but that’s about all I know!
