Why do I spend my morning at the local farmer's market instead of the supermarket? 🌿
As a nutritional therapist, it’s all about getting the best for my body from my local community. When I buy local and organic fruits and veggies here in Albania, I know I'm getting a powerhouse of goodness. 💫
🍋 Fresher = More Nutrients: the nutritional value of produce starts to decline after it's picked. Buying from a local farm or market means the food is often harvested just a day or two before it reaches my kitchen. This keeps key minerals like zinc, selenium, magnesium and copper at their highest levels, which are vital for everything from hormone balance to glowing skin.
🍋 No Unwanted Extras: Organic farming works with nature, not against it. This means no synthetic pesticides on my food, which is a win for my health and the environment.
🍋 Taste: Have you ever tasted a sun-ripened tomato from an Albanian garden? It's a completely different experience. Peak ripeness means optimal flavour, and you can taste the vibrancy and freshness.
🍋 Supporting Albanian Growers: Every lek spent at a local farm or market stall is an investment in our local economy and the rich agricultural heritage of this country. It's a way to connect with the people who grow our food and feel good about where it comes from.
Join me in embracing the local and organic movement!
