I E Produce - Takapuna

I recently moved from Melbourne to New Zealand last month. I visited IE Produce last week and was disappointed to find that the variety of products was not as extensive as advertised. Additionally, the staff seemed to lack knowledge about the products they were selling. In contrast, Huckleberry Farms and Harvest Wholefoods have knowledgeable and passionate staff who truly care about food and offer a better selection.

As mentioned in previous reviews, ie may not have the extensive variety or expertise of places like Harvest and Huckleberries, but it is definitely the most adventurous and best organic health food business on the North Shore of Auckland. While Albany's Organic is a great option for those further north, ie excels in offering new products such as tofu, gluten-free items, sauces and seasonings, and tasty snacks. They also have a good selection of local fruits and vegetables, although not all of them are organic.

While Organic also offers a great selection, it is located further north in Albany. I often discover new products at ie before other stores, including tofu, gluten-free items, soaked grains, and tasty snacks. They always have a good assortment of local fruits and vegetables, though not all are organic.
