Health food kicks are all the rage at the turn of every year. If you have made it this far with your healthy new meal plans then you, of course, need the right products. Jamie Walker has gone in search of the top health food shops in Sussex - according to Google - for all your quinoa and lentil needs.

Down To Earth

128 Portland Road, Hove

Nestled in the heart of Hove, Down To Earth pride themselves on supplying “quality organic, natural and ethical health products” to the community.

Reviewer David French said: “There are so many products crammed into such a tiny place, it has everything.

“I could probably spend a whole day just looking through all the different things.”

Green and Healthy

Cobblestone Walk, 74 High Street, Steyning

If you live in and around the Steyning area this is, apparently, one of the few places in the area that stocks specialist health food - that is if reviews are to be believed.

“This is the only place certainly in town and around for miles that I can get the bulk of the products I need,” said w4terdog.

Holland and Barrett

Unit 9, New Road, West Durrington; Churchill Square Shopping Centre, Regency Road, Brighton; 68 George Street, Hove

Holland and Barrett is probably the most recognisable name on this list, being a national chain.

And while there are other stores in the county these three are their best - according to reviewers.

“This shop sells the best pies in town,” said Seth Taggart of the Hove branch.

Grape Tree

113 The Street, Rustington, Littlehampton; 56 South Street, Worthing; 57 George Street, Hove

Another store with multiple locations across the city, Grape Tree is a growing national chain and offer the convenience of home delivery.

D Javvi said: “There are always a very good selection of healthy and natural items mostly at good prices.”

Beneficial Health 48 Lower Street, Pulborough

This family-run store uses local suppliers for their produce and seems to get the benefits of good trade from that.

“Knowledgable, helpful and friendly owners. A good selection of vegan products & supplements. Highly recommended,” said Joe Martin.

Infinity Food Shop and Bakery

25 North Road, Brighton

A favourite among many Brightonians looking for a health kick, Infinity Foods has been growing more and more popular with its wide selection of health foods.

Gergo Jonas said: “Lots of natural food, organic vegetables and fruits.

“Bakery is amazing, sourdough bread, vegan scone and croissant.

“They even do pizza.”

Lansdown Health Foods

44 Cliffe High Street, Lewes

This store has been going for over three decades, providing the residents of Lewes with all their health food needs.

To be going that long, they must be doing something right.

Dave Kimber said: “Really cute little place, loads of vegan, organic and gluten friendly products, including freshly made savory and sweet treats.”

Guarana Co Ltd

36 Sydney Street, Brighton

It’s not really surprising that there are so many health food stores in Brighton.

The public demand justifies how many there are.

Guarana Co Ltd brings a Brazilian theme to their health products.

Clare Finn said: “The best hot chocolate in Brighton is made by the good souls in this shop.

“They made me a fantastic zingy cold relief toddy on Saturday that chased my cold clean away.”

Seed n Sprout

82 St George’s Road, Brighton

Paul is the man behind Seed n Sprout and regulars in the store love his customer service and friendly manner.

Kim Terrell said: “Paul is lovely. Always so helpful and friendly.

“Good stock of everything I need.”

Kernel of Hove

2 Victoria Terrace, Hove

A small health store in Hove, Kernel is well stocked and provides a welcoming atmosphere.

Emma Batchelor said: “Like a mini infinity foods, it’s got all your health food shopping needs, and you can shop in peace.”

Best Health Food Shop

33 East Street, Shoreham-by-Sea

With good customer service and widely stocked shelves, Best Health Food Shop in Shoreham is a local favourite with those looking to buy healthier.
