About Us
Why is local food so important?
Two of the most important aspects of eating local food are improved taste and nutrition. Food grown locally typically tastes better, as it’s eaten soon after harvest. Local food is allowed to ripen on the plants and in the fields without additional chemical aid.Moreover, local food is harvested at the peak of the season, making it more nutritious. While someone may be expecting a wallop of vitamin C after eating an orange, that doesn’t always hold true. When a piece of fruit is harvested out of season and then shipped over many miles, the nutrient content deteriorates. Buying locally not only provides better tasting and more nutritious food, but allows individuals to enjoy seasonal food diversity.
Reasons why you must eat local food
The food market
What are local markets
What are local markets
Food is available everywhere, and be it malls, gas stations, grocery stores, online markets, or restaurants, we have a plethora of choices to choose from. A lot of the food that is sold at these outlets are outsourced from more mainstream suppliers, since they are able to provide more commercial sauces, spices, drinks, fruits, and vegetables. With the advent of globalization, people are opting for foods that are new to them, and as a result, the market for locally grown food is losing its audience.

One way to differentiate between markets is via the geographical location. Local markets usually target a small community that thrive within a neighbourhood and who are in close proximity to the physical store. Such markets sell products according to the needs of the local population instead of the needs of the larger population. Today, we will take a look at why you should consider eating local food rather than mainstream food.
It is fresh
What are local markets
It is fresh
Local food, as can be inferred, is food that is produced locally, which means that the food does not undergo hours and miles of travelling before reaching the market. Additionally since local markets cater to a niche customer base, most of the food ends up being bought, preventing the instance of leftovers, which assures the availability of fresh batches.
It is safer
It has better flavour
It has better flavour
Most commercial markets use preservatives to increase the shelf life of food. Since local foods end up being purchased much quicker, the need to preserve them does not arise, and we end up not consuming the potentially harmful preservatives. Moreover, food that is sold commercially is usually packaged in plastic, which itself is not healthy, and the miles of transportation increases the risk of contamination.

Locally grown crops have better flavour as they are picked at their peak ripeness, as opposed to being harvested early when being picked for retail stores. Crops end up being most flavourful when they are harvested when ripe, so local markets end up providing the tastiest fruits and vegetables.
It is seasonal

It is seasonal
It might not be hard to buy a mango in the winter from a retail store, but try asking for one in a local store, and you’ll probably end up getting declined. This is because local food is seasonal, and only the crops available at that time of the year are sold. Other stores are able to sell food off-season thanks to cold storages, and most food experts adivise against buying off-season food.
