Looking forward to the Year of the Rabbit at Sungiven Foods

The start of the new year is always exciting as the community sets out to achieve new goals. It’s no different at Sungiven Foods — we’re always striving to improve and serve the community with healthy, high quality products. 

Before getting into our new goals, we want to look back on some milestones achieved in 2022!

Throughout our stores, we served more than 1,900,000 customers!  We are pleased to be able to welcome a community who cares deeply about food and sustainability — as we continue our journey to provide high-quality, healthy foods.  

Additionally, we opened three new locations – which brings us to a total of nine stores in Metro Vancouver!

  • Burnaby Big Bend – Jan 8  
  • South Surrey – Jan 21  
  • Langley Bypass – March 25 

Make sure to drop by these locations if you’re exploring the neighbourhoods!

With 2022 ending on a good note, we would like to thank everyone for your continued support at Sungiven Foods! 

Moving forward in 2023, we plan to open two new locations, and continue to grow and expand — stay tuned for more details!

Lucky fruits for a prosperous new year

Fruits are always on the top of the list for Lunar New Year gifts as they’re believed to bring good fortune and luck. 

At Sungiven, we provide unique and diverse options of fruits, sourced from farms all around the world!

Snow Fuji Apple

On the outside, these seem like regular apples. But once cut open, you’ll find a special star-shaped candy core in the middle. These are Snow Fuji Apples — known for its gigantic round shape, and its sweet and juicy taste.

Fertile Orange

Oranges are a familiar sight during the Lunar New Year as its gold colours represent prosperity and luck. Coming all the way from Guangxi, China – these sweet, jumbo-sized oranges have a thin layer of skin, and are extremely juicy.

Kumquat

Kumquats are a traditional signature lucky fruit in traditional Chinese culture, similar to oranges. Although it resembles oranges in shape and colour, it’s much smaller in size. 

Argentina Red Cherry Gift Box

Plump, fresh, and sweet. These premium Lapin cherries came directly from Argentina by air, and have a Brix level of 19+. 

Cherries are highly-appreciated gifts in Chinese culture for any occasion!

Honey Pomelos

Pomelos are a large citrus fruit, and one of the most important types of lucky fruits during this time of the year. The Cantonese word for pomelo is a homonym for the words, prosperity and status. 

We hope everyone has a wonderful Lunar New Year celebration enjoying good food and spending time with their loved ones!
