New 'Naked' organic food store to open in Braddon

No, it's not a place where you'll shop in the buff. Caique Ponzoni is the co-founder of Naked Foods, an organic health food store in Sydney, which sells nuts, spices, grains, and other wholefood ingredients by the gram.

Ponzoni says he's planning to bring the store to Canberra and a branch of Naked Foods will open in March on Lonsdale Street in Braddon (where else?). Ponzoni says the Canberra Naked Foods will have a similar, bare, clean look to the original store on Oxford Street, Sydney. It will go into the Ori building, he says.

The idea behind the store is that there's no packaging – you just scoop as much quinoa or chia seeds as you need into a container, and you're welcome to bring your own jars or bags. You can buy as little or as much of something as you want. Ponzoni also runs Naked Foods stalls at markets around the Emerald City. See more at nakedfoods.com.au
