Signature Market is Malaysia's first online marketplace offering healthy, 100% natural products like granola, mixed nuts, energy squares, dried fruits and cookies at affordable wholesale prices. It's the brainchild of Edwin Wang and John Cheng who found they had very little to no options of places that provided healthy snacks. While Signature Market is fairly young (it's only four years old), it's already available in Hong Kong and well on its way to expanding in Singapore.
Recommended: Cranberry almond cruncher, healthy nut mix, garlic bread cashews, almond pecan honey granola.
Availability: Only online.
