South Coast Blends vs Scoop and Weigh

South Coast Blends vs Scoop and Weigh

27th May 2025

When it comes to purchasing nuts, there are a variety of options available to Australian consumers. Two popular methods include buying pre-packaged nuts or bulk bin and scoop-and-weigh system from chain supermarkets, such as Coles and Woolworths, or purchasing nuts from a certified snack business like South Coast Blends. Each option has its own set of advantages and disadvantages, and the best choice ultimately depends on individual needs and preferences. Here's why we think the move to online ordering might suit you....


1. HYGIENE & ALLERGIES ARE COVERED Bulk bins like those found in Coles, require more time and effort than buying pre-packaged nuts. You'll need to measure out your own nuts, label it and repeat everytime. Additionally, bulk bins can be more susceptible to contamination, as multiple people are dipping their scoops into the same bin, this can increase the risk of cross-contamination, particularly for those with food allergies. Our products and their detailed ingredients lists are available both on our website, and on our product packaging, helping you snack more seamlessly.

2. FRESHNESS - DELIVERED STRAIGHT TO YOUR DOOR
South Coast Blends delivers our nuts fresh, full of flavour, and packed with nutrients. Whether you're looking for almonds, cashews, macadamias, or another snack mix for your pantry, you can trust South Coast Blends to provide a high-quality, delicious product. For chain supermarkets, if you flip the package over, you may find that nut mixes contain nuts imported from around the world - this means they have been waiting for months before even being put onto the shelves, and their freshness hindered.

3. NO HIDDEN ADDITIVES OR NASTIES
When it comes to choosing a supplier for your pre-packaged nuts and snacks, South Coast Blends stands out from the current Australian market. As a certified snacking business, South Coast Blends is committed to providing high-quality, fresh nuts that are free from harmful additives and preservatives. All of SCB's nuts are sourced from trusted Australian growers and undergo rigorous quality control checks to ensure they meet high levels of standards.
