Saulit rewards everyday whole foods bought in ordinary shops. Here is how a product comes to earn leaves, in plain language.
Every product is reviewed by a person
Nothing earns leaves automatically. Each product in the catalogue has been read by a reviewer who decided whether it earns anything and at what rate. Products fall into four groups: some are core foods, some are positive, some are still under review and earn nothing yet, and some are not rewarded at all.
Leaves follow how much you bought
Rates are set per product, not per category, and they are measured in the unit that suits the food. Fresh fruit and vegetables earn per 100 grams, milk and kefir per 250 millilitres, eggs per egg. So half a kilo of apples earns more than a single apple, and the rate itself depends on the product.
The form of a product decides more than its name
A food and a product made from that food are not the same thing. Plain nuts earn; nuts roasted in salt or set in a chocolate bar do not. Plain yogurt earns; the same brand with fruit and sugar does not. Plain milk earns; a sweetened milk drink does not.
Example: a chocolate bar whose name mentions hazelnuts is still a chocolate bar. It earns nothing, even though hazelnuts on their own would earn.
What reviewers consider
- What the product actually is, and what form it takes: raw, plain, salted, sweetened, cooked, or made into something else.
- Published nutrition information where it exists and can be trusted.
- Whether similar products already have a settled decision, so the same food is treated the same way whoever made it.
Brand does not decide. If a food earns leaves, it earns them whoever produced it and whichever shop sold it.
A few products earn nothing for other reasons
A small number of products are set to zero for reasons of suitability rather than nutrition. Where that is the case, Saulit says only that it does not currently allocate leaves to the product, and gives no nutritional explanation, because there is none to give.
This list changes
The catalogue is reviewed continuously and decisions change as products are examined more closely. Leaves already awarded are never recalculated when a rate changes later.
