What’s Cookin’ at Cook’s?

Something new, organic, and healthy along with friendly staff is what’s
always cookin’ at Cook’s Natural Foods in Downtown Rogers.

Cook’s is one of my favorite organic and whole foods store and have
everything you would expect to find at a health food store. They have
everything from organic locally-grown produce, organic baby foods,
natural dog and cat foods, herbs and spices you can buy by the ounce,
organic beauty products and essential oils, natural juices and natural
energy drinks, to an endless list of dairy-free and meatless choices
(you have to try the vegan jerky…you’ll want to eat it like candy).
They have a frozen section with many organically-grown food choices,
gluten-free foods, and the increasingly popular Gardein and Beyond
Meats, and gluten-free breads and pizzas. They sell Angus Beef (cows are
grass fed and their last 100 days are grain finished and the feed is
non GMO with no growth hormones or antibiotics).

Check out the bulk section where you will find organic beans, rice,
flours, coffee, teas, and much more. Usually, I empty the bin of what’s
ever left of the nutritional yeast because I love gobs of it on my air
popped popcorn! Then there’s the lunch menu which varies day-to-day
but always a tasty variety.

Recently, I could feel a cold coming on and hurried to Cook’s for advice
on alternatives to boost my immune system but was looking for something
stronger than echinacea and was shown Astragalus (from the Astragalus
Root) and decided to try the herb and it gave my immune system the boost
it needed and I never got sick.

Susana Cook, Owner of Cook’s Natural Foods in Rogers

Cook’s sees me at least once a week and I always find something new.  If
they don’t have what I need, they will order it for me to pick up at
the store.

Check out their website!
 They have a library of information on top health conditions and
recommended products sold at the store to help treat conditions. The
staff is very knowledgeable and always eager to empower me with valuable
health information, so I can take better care of myself and be less
dependent on the doctor.

What keeps me coming back is the caring staff, variety of healthy
choices, and lower prices. Also, I’m supporting a woman-owned business
who has been providing healthy alternatives and smart food choices in
our community for 21 years!

healthy lunch, remember Cook’s Natural Foods.  You can follow them on facebook here.
