By replacing the individual bags in your box with one ingredient bag, we're using an average of 71% less packaging (in terms of weight) to store your sauces, spices and seasonings.

Wondering how we got to this figure? Look no further.


This figure is calculated based on the average number of recipes that our customers order per box (3.74 - based on a 6 month year-to-date average) and the average weight of each individual bag (15g) included in every box, giving us a total average weight of the bags per box of 56.1 grams. This is compared with the average weight of a single ingredient bag (16.1g) which replaces the individual bags. The difference in weight between the single bag and the multiple bags gives us the overall % packaging saving by weight (i.e. 71.30%).
