Local superfood

market-fresh-vegetables-foodigence So-called superfoods are foods – or mainly vegetables and fruits – that supposedly contain many or more good ingredients than the usual ones.

Have you ever noticed that these often come from very far away – not exactly sustainable. Yet, there are so many great products here in Germany and Europe that can easily top that.

The combination with sustainable shorter delivery routes and more transparency regarding seeds, plants, quality, delivery & transport around the world up to working conditions are additional “plus points”

If you also shop regionally and seasonally, it's unbeatably good for you!
