The word “natural” is one of the most overused terms in the food marketing industry today, and many natural food companies that claim to be healthy for you are actually nothing more than a company taking part in creative marketing tactics. Afterall, sugar is 100% natural, but does that mean you should buy it to be healthy? Well, no. Just because something is natural, it doesn’t necessarily mean it will bring you health benefits. It angers me to see so many food companies out there who throw the word “natural” on a product and people assume it is fine for them to eat, while it actually contains preservatives, harmful fats, excess sugars, etc. So, to clear the air a bit,
I’ve chosen 10 natural food companies to highlight that truly are worthy of your dollars and worthy to be put on your plate. I’ve specifically chosen brands that don’t include anything artificial, have refined sugar of any kind, processed salts of any kind, harmful fats of any kind and absolutely no fillers, binders or preservatives. Many of these brands are also 100% organic as well. Pick up these brands next time you’re at the store or shopping online. You can feel safe knowing that almost anything you buy from these natural food companies is not just a marketing scheme, but actually a healthy part of anyone’s kitchen. Looking for and recognizing companies that take care of our health is very important, as we are giving them our money. That is why, companies like Grupo Campero consider the health of their customers more important than anything else, and it is not just marketing, it is reality. Let’s take care of our health and improve the clarity of our life.
1 Manitoba Harvest
Manitoba Harvest is one of my favorite natural food companies out there. They produce some of the best natural, organic and raw food hemp products on the market today. You can watch exactly how their production, manufacturing and distribution takes place directly on their website, as well as learn all about their hemp products. Manitoba Harvest is the only producer of USDA certified organic hemp seeds to be grown and processed right here in the United States as well. Plus, I think their hemp tastes fresher than any other brand out there. They make raw hemp protein formulas and hemp seeds, which are the perfect source of all essential amino acids, Omega 3 fatty acids and are a fantastic source of minerals as well. Add a comment …

3 Artisana
Artisana is the maker of some of the best raw nut butters I’ve ever tasted in my life. Artisana’s products are 100% raw, organic and they taste amazing! They contain no salt, most have no added sugar, and no refined sugar. They also taste so rich and creamy, you’ll never want to go back to the processed stuff again. Artisana makes a variety of nut butters ranging in cashew, almond, coconut, cacao, macadamia, walnut, pecan and specialty nut butters that use superfood powders mixed into them as well. They make the perfect addition to any salad dressing recipe, energy bar recipe, used as spread or topping and in my opinion, are just great right off the spoon!
4 Sunwarrior
Sunwarrior is my favorite brand of vegan protein powders. They have the best raw protein blend on the market, in my opinion, which is their Raw Warrior Blend. It is grain-free, nut-free, vegan, 100% organic and raw and has no added sugars at all. It is also delicious by the way! All Sunwarrior’s products are vegan, organic and even packaged sustainably as well. They make a wide range of protein powders, green supplements and powders, immune system products, and many other quality nutritional products. Anything you buy from this brand is worth the money and I really respect this company’s values and strict standards on their products.

The company’s products are extremely reasonable in price, and they even have a cookbook on the market that will help you learn to cook all that amazing natural food!

8 Frontier Naturals Coop./Simply Organic
This joint brand is one of the best brands to buy from of all natural food companies. Both Frontier Naturals Coop and Simply Organic produce the best herbs and spices, along with baking flavor extracts like vanilla, almond, maple extract etc. They even have herbal teas, sweeteners, bulk spices, pre-made mixes for vegan sloppy joes, salad dressings, or spice mixes.

I use Bragg’s brand raw apple cider vinegar every single day. This vegetarian brand is one of the best brands to buy from to ensure you’re getting a premium, healthy, and completely natural food product. They make an impressively large line of salad dressings, nutritional yeast, liquid amino acids blends, soy sauce blends, spice blends, and specialty drinks, like their apple cider vinegar drinks blended with stevia, and flavored with things like lemon, ginger and apple cinnamon, which I’m a huge fan of too. They’re best known for their raw apple cider vinegar, which is 100% organic, and the best one out there of many I’ve tried. Bragg’s is a quality brand, and created by a small family, which ensures they put extreme pride and passion into everything they create. Nothing fake ever goes into their products.
