UCOOK Pantry Boxes by Shop Zero™ are here!

UCOOK Pantry Boxes - Savoury Box

We’re ringing in the new year with our brand new UCOOK Pantry Boxes and we couldn’t be more proud! Hello 2021 and Happy New Year to all our customers and readers!

UCOOK Pantry Boxes - Savoury Box

Back with a bang!

We are looking forward to another passionate year of supplying ethical, sustainable, cruelty-free and mindful products to you and your home.  All of our products are either 100% biodegradable or reusable and sourced to promote your health and that of our beautiful planet. Shop Zero™ supports and encourages your need for sustainable, plastic-free living every step of the way. Together we are the collective that drives change with every eco-conscious choice we make.

Mindful collaborations

We are always looking to collaborate with like-minded businesses that support our ethos. That is why Shop Zero™ has started the year with an exciting collaboration with UCOOK Market Boxes. The UCOOK Market Box concept was developed to help boost the local food system by empowering local entrepreneurs and small farmers. They aim to work together to forge a closer connection between local customers, farmers and food producers. By supplying customers with local seasonal (organic where possible) and ethical produce, UCOOK Market Boxes can directly grow the local food system.

Ethical producers

Not only are customers supplied with beautiful produce, but they are also able to make informed decisions about the food they eat. UCOOK also supplies the story behind every food producer so you know exactly how your food was grown or made.

Shop Zero™ and UCOOK Pantry Boxes Collab

Along with their current Market Boxes, UCOOK are now offering versatile Pantry Boxes as Add Ons, specially curated by Shop Zero™. Any of these UCOOK Pantry Boxes will make a welcome addition to your pantry staples. Orders for our ‘Essential Box’ are already open where you need to place your order one week prior to delivery. Please place your order from UCOOK here by 12pm Thursday 7 January 2021 to receive your Shop Zero™ ‘Essentials Box’ by Thursday 14 January 2021. 

Please note that UCOOK cannot deliver Add Ons on their own. They must accompany a Market Box order. And of course all the Shop Zero™ products are packaged plastic free.

Shop Zero™ have created four UCOOK Pantry Boxes to choose from as Add Ons to your weekly UCOOK Farmer’s Market Box:

Shop Zero™ Essentials Box (available from 31 December 2020)

UCOOK Pantry Boxes - Essentials box

We’ve curated the Essentials Box to contain a variety of plant-based pantry staples for you to decant into your own jars at home.  Celebrate by eating your goodies and feel awesome about all the plastic you’ve diverted from landfill.  Use these foods to prepare a nourishing breakfast or spice up any meal by adding the harissa paste to your dish.  By purchasing this box, you will be planting trees by simply sipping on the beautiful coffee you’ll receive.  For every 3kg Rain Forest Alliance Certified beans sold, one tree is planted by Greenpop.  Mother Nature thanks you! You will also be contributing to your local economy, supporting female entrepreneurs, sustainably sourced products and low-waste packaging. 

The Shop Zero™ Essentials Box includes:
 

Shop Zero™ Snack Box (coming soon)

UCOOK Pantry Boxes - Snack box

The Shop Zero™ Snack Box was curated to include a combination of vegan-friendly, healthy on-the-go snacks, as well as ingredients that will liven up any party or picnic you bring them to. Arrange these dairy-free gems on a platter to create a wow-worthy charcuterie snack board and treat your guests like VIPs. We’re betting you’d want to tackle the whole box solo! 

This box will go live on UCOOK’s Market Box website on 14th January.

Shop Zero™ Savoury Box (coming soon)

UCOOK Pantry Boxes - Savoury box

We’ve curated the Shop Zero™ Savoury Box to include a combination of pantry staples and savoury snacks to elevate your cooking while reducing your environmental impact. Glass jars are like a little black dress… everything looks good in them. Decant these ingredients into your own reusable jars and turn your pantry into a well-organised interior dream!

Enjoy Hannam and Co’s Flatwhite Toaster Bread accompanied by balsamic vinegar & olive oil and a delicious olive tapenade, or add That Foods’ Spicy All Rounder to any dish in need of a flavour injection. Enlighten your taste buds with the elevated experiences this box has to offer. Keep an eye out for this box’s order and delivery dates on the UCOOK’s Market Box website.

The Shop Zero™  Savoury Box includes:

Shop Zero™ Sweet Box (coming soon)

UCOOK Pantry Boxes - Sweet box

We’ve curated the Shop Zero™ Sweet Box for the health-conscious sweet tooth. Enjoy sweet treats whilst also being sweet to the environment! Whether you are leading a vegan lifestyle or just trying to opt for sweet treats that are better for your health, this box has everything from breakfast options to decadent cookies and spreads. Create your dream pantry by decanting them into your own glass jars.

Most commercially sold teabags melt microplastics into your cup as they contain polypropylene woven in the paper to hold their shape and seal the edges. Not only is this toxic for the body, but damaging for the environment. Go loose leaf and ditch single-use tea bags! Tea-huggers will love brewing the perfect cup and creating a morning ritual with our cute reusable hemp and cotton tea bag.

Be sure to have a look-see on the UCOOK’s Market Box website for this box’s order and delivery dates. 

Many small, local businesses rely on our platform for sales. With this exciting collaboration we continue to support the multiple small, local businesses stocked on www.shopzero.co.za. We are so happy to have our Pantry Boxes as Add Ons for those getting their UCOOK Market Boxes and very proud of being part of this.  Go ahead and order so you can be part of it all!
