Biona

Who are Biona Organic?

Biona actually started in London! Over 35 years ago Noel and Donata, the partners behind the company, began by making homemade granola. The granola received rave reviews, so much so that they outgrew their first shop rather quickly and soon needed a bigger spot!

You’ll find Biona Organic products in 30 countries around the world. And they’re not just granola anymore! In fact, they’ve got more than 350 products now. 

All things bright and beautiful, great and small… who says we can’t have it all? All Biona Organic products are made from ethically sourced and produced ingredients. No chemicals, no herbicides, and no GMOs. Just uncompromisingly good food made for the vegetarian and vegan diet.

The Biona brand has certainly made a name for itself. Biona bread, Biona beans, Biona peanut butter, and even Biona Kimchi… as long as you’re getting Biona, you’re getting premium and completely natural food.

Is Biona Vegan and What Are They Made Of?

Biona products are completely vegetarian and a lot are safe for vegan diets! Yes, you read that right. Not all of them are vegan. Don’t worry because the products we have here at PlantX are safe for vegan consumption. No need to sift through the list, you’re safe here.

Biona uses and sources products that are 100% natural and of the highest standard. All their products, that’s 350 of them, are made from sustainably sourced ingredients. Organic and ethical have always been the core of Biona.

Biona products come in a variety. They have pantry staples, such as condiments, seasonings, oils, and other dry goods. They even have Biona kimchi! They’ve also got tinned food like Biona beans and Biona coconut milk. You can create many meals with the offerings Biona has. From breakfast (Biona peanut butter, anyone?), lunch, dinner…and even dessert. All of them can be made from uncompromisingly top-quality organic products. Oh, let’s not forget snacks. Sweet and savoury snacks are also available in the Biona line - you can find some here at PlantX!

Why Are Biona Products Considered Healthy?

In the case of Biona, it’s because their food is made from organic ingredients. Yes, we know, we’ve said it a handful of times, but it’s worth repeating! Let us tell you why.

In this day and age, a lot of food is made from heavily processed foods and cheap ingredients. Many manufacturers out there grow food and crops for the masses - which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. That just means the crops might have encountered some pesticides and other chemicals. Why would you want that in your food?

Let’s talk about taste, too! Often, healthy foods are considered to be bland. That’s not the case with Biona Organic products. When you bite into Biona bread, open a tin of Biona coconut milk, or even taste Biona apple cider vinegar, you can tell. The products are very flavourful - naturally!

Biona said so themselves. “Biona was built with a vision to change the future of food,

one delicious bite at a time.” 35 years and thousands of happy customers later, that statement still seems spot on if you ask us!
