Aim
So far we made each slice by hand and with this crowdfund we are looking to get our first production round started.
Welcome to our Coconut Bread journey
Our allergen-free coconut bread will bring some tropical sunshine in your life filled with nutritious coconut flour, pre-biotic high fibre psyllium husks, gut balancing apple cider vinegar and a little bit of salt. It is also vegan, naturally gluten-free and grain-free. It tastes wonderful and makes you feel fantastic. We are crowdfunding to enable us to scale up our production and get our awesome breads into the hands of lovely people like yourselves.
We love bread and we love feeling fantastic.
I have always made my bread freshly from scratch and shared it with our friends so when we found out that our son Calvin could not have any bread that is available on the market, I had to come up with our own using the most nutritious ingredients that are allergen-free and support a good immune system.
At first, I just made it for ourselves but our friends said that it tastes fantastic. They simply loved it. I am also aware that we were not alone with our health challenges. Thus, I thought that we need to give this a try to help other people and to share our experience of optimum health. We entered our bread into blind taste tests and did sampling at trade shows. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive. We also found out that our bread is simply loved for what it is: a truly delicious, allergen-free and healthy alternative to “standard breads”.
Our secret to feeling great
The Original Coconut Bread comes in a pack of 5 slices.
Ideal for sandwiches, toasties, burger buns as well as nice to dip into soups and curries.
A few facts about our magic ingredients:
Our product is naturally gluten-free, allergen-free and vegan with no added nasties like preservatives, sugars or colours. On top, it is high in digestible fibre…3 slices cover an adults daily fibre intake. Coconut flour is a super food that contains potassium, zinc and magnesium. Coconut oil is high in healthy saturated fats that help raise the good HDL cholesterol in your blood and can give your brain more energy. The not very known Psyllium Husks is a prebiotic fibre that keeps you feel fuller for longer and can also aid with digestion. And Apple Cider Vinegar supports good gut health. Sea Salt contains 60 trace minerals like calcium and is an excellent electrolyte source.
Our bread is low in carbohydrates, promotes good digestion and simply makes you glow with health and happiness.
Ingredients:
Water, Coconut Oil, Coconut Flour (20%), Psyllium Husks, Apple Cider Vinegar and a pinch of Sea Salt.
Naturally baked in the UK.
Getting to market
After making our bread by hand in an allergen-free facility, we figured out the best process to produce our bread and we are finally ready to move into full production. Thus, our breads can be ready for sale on our website asap.
We’re looking for funding to help cover the cost of our first production and getting our bread to market. With the amazing support of RBS Back Her Business, we'll receive up to £5,000 towards our target, if we can raise £10,000 from our crowd. We've pulled together some awesome Calvin’s Good Foods treats to tempt you including our delicious bread, fancy jute bags, a webinar with myself about our allergen-free and healthy life style hacks and a nutritional consultation with the fantastic nutritionist Cara Redpath.
Healthy adventure
It’s been a quite journey so far, with all the ups and downs but we steadily kept focus on making the best product possible. As much as about raising funds, this campaign is about becoming part of our healthy journey and we would be delighted to have you aboard!
Thank you
Regarding our rewards
As it is a fresh product, it is most ideal for UK deliveries. However, we can do cooling boxes for abroad but I will be in touch if there are any issues with posting our bread outside the UK and if it cannot be posted for reasons out of our control then I will offer you an alternative options.
The webinar date will be released after the crowdfund has closed. If you cannot attend then we will share with you the recorded version. Webinar will be in English.
You can arrange with the nutritionist a date that suits you.
