Healthy Meets Tasty: The 5 Best Health Food Stores in Perth
While you can buy fresh produce from your local grocer, health food stores offer a wider and specialised selection of healthy products that are harder to find anywhere else.
Unfortunately, a report published by Statista last May 2023 revealed the sad truth that only half of the Australian population eats the recommended number of fruits and vegetables every day.
So if you’re looking to start a healthy diet or augment your diet with a mix of healthy supplements, here are the best health food stores in Perth for you!
| How much does a healthy diet cost a day in Perth? The cost for various healthy meals and supplements vary greatly depending on the store and the prices they set on their products. However, a 2020 report published by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations estimates that a healthy diet costs US$3.07 (~AUD$4.74) per person per day. |
