Competition | Win a Suma Hamper worth £300

Iona Bower December 10, 2025

Championing ethical and sustainable food production, Suma has everything needed for a deliciously well-stocked pantry

The New Year is the ideal time to refresh your pantry with healthy, sustainable and ethical produce. Whether you have a walk-in pantry, or a tiny storecupboard, filling it with ingredients that are good for you, good for the planet, and good for the people who grow and make them feels amazing.

Suma is a Yorkshire-based worker-owned co-operative that’s proud to champion equal pay and transparency. Our Food Done Fairly approach means every product supports fair, ethical, and sustainable practices, from farm to cupboard.

Ingredients that matter

Opening a Suma pantry is like opening a treasure chest of goodness. Whole grains, like organic quinoa, bulgur wheat and arborio rice, sit ready to nourish body and soul in comforting risottos, stews or grain bowls that highlight seasonal produce.

Our sustainably sourced beans and pulses are simple, versatile and packed with plant-based protein. From soups to stews, they’ll see you through busy days without compromising on flavour or ethics.

And no cupboard is complete without the essentials that bring depth and warmth to any meal. Suma’s organic tinned tomatoes, beans and coconut milk are the foundations for effortless, nourishing dishes. Add in our dried herbs and spices, nuts, seeds and dried fruits and you can create meals and snacks that feel special with minimal fuss.

Feel-good treats

Sometimes life calls for a little indulgence, be that a cup of coffee, a homemade flapjack, or a handful of almonds sprinkled over breakfast. Our Fairtrade organic Peruvian coffee supports women farmers’ co-operatives, while a flapjack made from organic oats and medjool dates delivers fibre, slow-release energy and all the simple pleasures of mindful eating.

Win a Suma hamper

If this has piqued your interest, then you’re in luck. The Simple Things and Suma are offering one lucky reader the chance to win a Suma hamper worth over £300. Packed with wholefoods and storecupboard staples, it’s a great opportunity to start the year with a cupboard full of nourishing ingredients that support sustainable farming and make everyday meals a joy.

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder.
