Sustainable nutrition

Nachhaltige Ernährung

The way we eat not only affects our health and well-being, but also the environment. Being mindful of our food choices makes a big difference.

Various foods, especially animal products, are a major source of CO2 emissions. Diet accounts for approximately one-third of our carbon footprint.

Tip : Reduce your meat consumption. This doesn't mean you have to become a vegetarian or vegan. But eating less of it, and choosing high-quality meat (e.g., organic or locally sourced), is a good step in the right direction. With other animal products (fish, eggs, and dairy), you can also pay attention to where they come from and where they were produced. These days, every supermarket or discount store offers organic products in various price ranges.

Tip: Grow your own – yes, you can do it with sprouts on any windowsill, in a flower box on the balcony, or in a raised bed in the garden. Let our products inspire you and just give it a try – it's easier than you think.

Tip: Shop locally: The selection certainly varies depending on where you live, but local markets are still a good place to start. An added bonus: You support the valuable local economy, from small producers to organic farmers.


🌱 Practical tools for sustainable nutrition:

Sustainable eating is easier than you think! With the right tools, you can significantly reduce your ecological footprint:

1. Buy seasonally and regionally

Our seasonal calendar shows you month by month which fruits and vegetables are currently in season in Germany. This means:

✅ Shorter transport routes = less CO2

✅ More nutrients (harvested ripe)

✅ Supporting local farmers

✅ Affordable price

2. Eat consciously and track your food intake

With our food diary, you can document your meals and identify patterns:

✅ How often do you eat seasonally?

✅ How much plant-based vs. animal-based products?

✅ How do you feel after sustainable meals?

3. Grow your own

The most sustainable food comes straight from your windowsill! Grow microgreens with our seed pads :

✅ Zero Food Miles (no transport)

✅ No packaging

✅ No pesticides

✅ Available all year round

✅ Many times more nutrients than fully grown vegetables

4. Understanding nutrients

Our nutrient overview set shows you which nutrients are found in plant-based foods – perfect for a balanced, sustainable diet.

5. Holistic approach

Sustainable nutrition is part of a conscious lifestyle. Our daily self-care log helps you connect nutrition, exercise, and mindfulness.
