Roots has lots of yummy healthy food that I can't get from supermarkets. The staff are really friendly and helpful as well. I can wholesomely recommend this shop to all healthy eaters. Their new website can be found here http://www.roots-health-foods.co.uk

As a Northern Californian, I was happy to find anything at all that would allow me to maintain my customary diet when I moved to Nottingham, so I was very pleasantly surprised by Roots.

It's a very small place, but it's packed with lots of stuff I look for--wide selection of dried beans, tofu in the refrigerated case, nice spice selection, whole meal flours, that kind of stuff. It's mostly a place for your pantry food needs.

There's also a good selection of more eco-friendly cleaning products and non-edible stuff like that. I recall there being a lot of herbs too, though I'm not an herb person so I couldn't say how great the selection is relative to anywhere else.

The guy running the place was very nice, and the prices were not exactly cheap but reasonable.

For anyone close to Sherwood in Nottingham's North side this health food shop is well worth a visit.

Among the stuff on offer is a chilled foods section and also a non food section. They are looking to expand their range of children's products. Delivery service is available.

Watch out for their own website soon.

Roots is about 50 metres along the street from the Mm... deli.
