If you like to take healthy eating so seriously that you can’t find anything about it fun anymore, the Punnet Health Food Store and their Food Emporium are probably not for you. Or perhaps they’re exactly the place for you. The lunch time rush is just easing off when I arrive and James, Darragh and Michael are at the ready with jokes, juices and generally tearing apart any misconceptions anyone might have ever had about healthy eating being boring or difficult.
When we begin chatting, it’s clear how well they know their stuff. They have backgrounds in sport, business and the fruit and vegetable trade and they’re visibly hungry to keep learning more about nutrition. But it’s not all about what they think is right for you. The value in the rapport they naturally build with their customers is that they embrace requests, issues and problems as an opportunity to provide people with something even better. And while it’s good for business, when they talk about it, it seems they really just do it because they get excited about it and can’t help themselves.
One example of this is their salad plan. While juicing is an insanely popular trend and they provide some of the best in Dublin, they said some people just can’t or don’t want to do it. Their salad plan has similar benefits but designed for people who want to chomp on something. Call in if you love eating really healthy health food while not being judged because you ate a chocolate bar once five years ago.
