Swedish coffee culture – the perfect fika is achieved with the French press

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe said: “No pleasure is temporary, because the impression it leaves is lasting”. Everyone who has traveled to western Sweden appreciates the enjoyable coffee break that is taken daily in cozy cafes with delicious coffee and excellent cake. The fika tradition is unique in the world. You can also take a Swedish coffee break. The coffee for your fika works particularly well with the French press, because this allows the full aroma to unfold. Feel free to leave the filter coffee machine in the cupboard.

Fika – a special coffee break requires the French Press

Swedes call their coffee break, which includes eating delicious biscuits, cakes or fine Danish pastries, fika. The Swedish coffee break is taken together and is an excellent way to intensify contact with colleagues or to spend valuable time with friends.

The Swedish fika is very different from the customs of other countries, where you drink your coffee quickly while standing or walking. Swedes take time for each other, reduce stress by drinking coffee together, intensify contacts and treat themselves to delicious pastries and excellent cakes. The time together, the culinary delights and the delicious coffee from a filter coffee machine or a French press are what make the Fika what it is. Find out more about the differences between the preparation with the French press and the filter coffee machine.

Coffee for the fika – brew with the filter coffee machine or with the French press?

Most Swedes brew their morning coffee in a filter coffee machine. Swedes drink a lot of coffee, so capsule and pad machines are not common. The Swedes are nothing like the filter coffee machine.

The coffee that is drunk with the fika in the afternoon is prepared with the Swedish pot or the French press. Anyone who boils their favorite hot drink will be rewarded by the full-bodied aroma. Brewed coffee is characterized by a lot of body. The oils and fats contained in the coffee are not filtered out during filterless preparation. When it comes to coffee enjoyment, it makes a difference whether you use the filter coffee machine or the French press. Filter coffee machines and French presses only offer two methods of preparation for the fika, among many others.

Coffee is offered in Sweden in the two degrees of grind “Kok” (cooking coffee) and “Brygg” (brewed coffee). Swedish coffee packaging contains both the designation of the degree of grinding and a coffee pot or filter symbol. This tells you whether you should brew or boil the coffee. With the French Press you can boil coffee and with the filter coffee machine you can brew brewed coffee.

In the coffee perfect online shop you can buy high-quality bean and filter coffee for the Fika.

Swedish coffee tastes less acidic and stronger than our coffee. The beans are roasted darker in the north and the beans are selected for types that are less acidic. You will taste these two differences, regardless of whether you prefer to prepare your coffee with the filter coffee machine or the French press.

How you make the coffee for the fika depends on what type of guy you are:

Cook boiled “Kok” in a pot or French press

Traditionally, Swedish coffee “Kok” is boiled with water in a pot. The coffee powder falls to the bottom of the pot and the hot drink is carefully poured into a cup. The coffee powder settles in the cup. After enjoying the coffee you can read the coffee grounds.

This method of preparation is preferred by many Swedes for the fika, but in this country it is not for everyone because of the coffee grounds, which unfortunately are always drunk.

If you want to have the full coffee experience without coffee grounds in the cup, prepare your favorite hot drink with the French press. Very fresh coffee “Kok” without coffee grounds is child’s play with the French press. Pour hot water over the coffee in the French Press, let the coffee steep and use a metal sieve to press down the coffee grounds. In contrast to the filter coffee machine, the metal sieve in the French press does not filter, but preserves the fats and oils that are in the coffee. The coffee is characterized by an aromatic fullness. If you want the full aromatic taste, you should prepare the brewed coffee with the French Press. Brewing systems cannot compete with the French Press.

Cooked out prepare “Brygg” in the percolator or in the filter coffee machine

Coffee that has the “Brygg” grind can be prepared in the filter coffee machine or in the percolator. In the percolator, the boiling water is pushed up through a pipe and runs into a perforated steel container containing the coffee powder. From there it drips back down into the water as coffee. The percolator is very suitable if you only pour a few cups.

If you opt for the filter coffee machine, you should dose the coffee powder less than you are used to. The Swedish coffee is stronger and darker than the German. The filter coffee machine is very suitable if you want to prepare several cups. Unfortunately, the coffee powder loses some of its aroma when brewed in the filter coffee machine, since the fats remain in the filter. However, it is useful when several people are doing the fika together.

Summary:

You can boil or brew the Swedish coffee for the fika.
The Swedish coffee varieties are called either “Kok” or “Brygg”.
For reheating, try the French Press. The aroma is not filtered out by the French press, but can be drawn into the hot drink, including the coffee fats and oils, and you can enjoy coffee without annoying coffee grounds in the cup. The French Press is far superior to the typical Swedish pot because the coffee stays in the press. The coffee is more aromatic in the French press than in the filter coffee machine.
The filter coffee machine is well suited to preparing many cups at the same time.
The coffee from the filter coffee machine offers a little less flavor than boiled coffee.
Brewing in the percolator offers excellent coffee enjoyment.
If you want a full aroma, the French press is the preferred choice.

Ethiopia – country with an old coffee tradition

The East African country is not only one of the main producers of delicious coffee beans, but also cultivates its own special coffee culture. The typical Ethiopian coffee ceremony, the so-called jebena buna, is not for coffee drinkers in a hurry. Here you drink three cups of deep black coffee in a row within one session.

And the preparation of the coffee ceremony can also take a lot of time: the green beans are often washed extensively by the women before they are roasted over hot coals. The almost burnt, pitch-black beans are roughly ground by hand with a mortar and pestle before being placed in a clay pot, the jebena. The coffee is then mixed with water in the pot and placed on the fire until steam forms. The dark, sometimes bitter coffee is typically sweetened with sugar and usually served with popcorn in handleless cups.

More than red wine – coffee culture in France

The French particularly appreciate their milk coffee with a delicious and leisurely breakfast. The obligatory breakfast croissant is often dunked in the steaming café au lait. The French milk coffee is traditionally served in a bol, a handleless bowl.

Important when preparing a real café au lait is the simultaneous pouring of coffee and hot milk into the bol. Otherwise it is not a café au lait! In France, if a regular coffee is to be ordered, a grand caé or a café double should be requested. Otherwise you will be served an espresso.

Greece – enjoy the coffee tradition ice-cold

What could be better than a cold drink on a day at the sea under the glorious sun? Right: nothing! The Greek coffee drink frappé is not only a welcome refreshment on the water, but also gets us through the summer in Germany.

The frappé is an iced, frothed latte served in a tall glass with a straw. As is typical in Greece, a soluble instant coffee is usually used for the production and a glass of water is served with it. The refreshing frappé is a popular drink between meals, whether for a chat over coffee after a Greek siesta or in a deck chair by the sea.

A special kind of coffee gossip – Turkish coffee tradition

The typical Turkish coffee has always been ground in a coffee grinder and, in contrast to the Arabic tradition, brewed quickly. In Turkey, coffee is very popular very early in the morning or late in the afternoon, in order to always stimulate the body and awaken spirits at the right time.

In the Turkish coffee houses, called Kahvehaneler or Pastane, the dark and almost creamy coffee is often drunk with typical Turkish delicacies and sweets. Candied fruit and jelly confectionery go particularly well with the concentrated taste of the coffee, as they round off the coffee with their aromas. The coffee houses are often the linchpin of social life in Turkey: Over a typical coffee and gossip with friends, people talk about the latest happenings here.

Vegan Brunch – Recipes and Ideas for a Vegan Buffet

At a vegan brunch you can discover the whole variety of vegan cuisine. From savory to sweet – here are our tips for a vegan breakfast buffet.

It doesn’t matter whether you eat a plant-based diet or not – it’s worth discovering vegan cuisine. A brunch offers the perfect opportunity: Here you can try both vegan breakfast dishes and lunch. There is almost nothing that doesn’t fit on a brunch buffet: from bread and muesli to soups and salads to sweet treats, we’ll show you simple and delicious recipes for a vegan brunch.

Baked goods, spreads, and dips for vegan brunch

A brunch includes freshly baked goods, preferably homemade bread. Conveniently, many bread recipes are vegan. This does not necessarily apply to bought bread – some varieties contain skimmed milk powder, for example.

You can spread and top the pastries with store-bought sweet or savory spreads and cold cuts – or you can make the vegan spreads yourself, for example based on legumes or sunflower seeds.

A cashew aioli dip is quick to prepare and goes well with a vegan brunch. For four servings you need the following ingredients:

180 g cashew nuts, soaked in water for about two hours
two tablespoons of lime juice
two cloves of garlic
two tablespoons of water, maybe more
two tbsp yeast flakes
salt and pepper
That’s how it works:

Drain the cashews and place them in a blender.
Add the remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly.
If the dip is still too thick for you, you can add a little more water – in the end it should have a creamy consistency.
Season the dip with salt and pepper.

Sweets for brunch: fruit, cereal and pancakes

Fresh fruit provides a balance to the hearty start to the day. You can serve it with vegan pancakes, for example, or use it in Bircher muesli. The muesli can be prepared the day before, is healthy and also tastes delicious in the vegan version. You can vary the fruits specified in the recipe depending on the season.

For four small portions of vegan Bircher muesli you need the following ingredients:

8 tablespoons oatmeal
200 ml plant-based milk (e.g. oat milk)
a tart apple
250 g soy yoghurt
1 tbsp maple syrup or other vegan sweetener
2 tbsp fresh blueberries
eight almonds or other nuts
a pinch of cinnamon
How to prepare the muesli:

Mix the oatmeal with the milk and refrigerate overnight.
Finely grate the apple and mix it with the oatmeal.
Divide the mixture between four glasses, top with the soy yoghurt and garnish with the remaining ingredients.
You can also serve the muesli in a large bowl for a buffet.

Vegan vegetables, soups and salads

What would a vegan brunch be without all those delicious veggies? You can serve many of them raw with a dip or raw in a salad, for example as pinzimonio. A filling and refreshing salad classic is the bulgur salad tabbouleh. Pickled vegetables also taste delicious and are easy to prepare.

Between all the cold dishes, a warm soup comes in handy. How about a parsnip cream soup, for example?

For four servings you need:

300 g parsnips
300 g mealy potatoes
an onion
1-2 tbsp olive oil
about 500 ml vegetable stock
250 ml coconut milk
Salt pepper
half a bunch of flat-leaf parsley
That’s how it’s done:

Peel and dice the parsnips, potatoes and onion.
Heat the oil in a saucepan, add the diced vegetables and sauté over medium-high heat for a few minutes. Stir every now and then so that nothing burns.
Pour in the vegetable broth and let the soup simmer for about 20 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
If you prefer a finer consistency, puree the soup and strain it through a sieve. Add the coconut milk and let the soup simmer for another five minutes. Season the soup with salt and pepper.
Wash and chop the parsley and garnish the finished soup with it.

Vegan dessert for brunch

A delicious dessert rounds off your brunch. For example, try a vegan carrot cake or vegan truffles made from dates, almonds and cocoa: make your own energy balls. Vegan mousse au chocolat is also very easy, for example based on silken tofu. You can conveniently prepare them the day before.

For eight servings you need the following ingredients:

550 g silken tofu
100 g fair and vegan whole milk and dark chocolate each (if you like it particularly chocolaty, you can increase the proportion of dark chocolate)
2-3 tablespoons agave syrup or another sweetener
Spices as desired, for example chili, orange peel, ginger powder or cinnamon
Chopped and toasted nuts for garnish, if desired

How to prepare the mousse:

Drain the silken tofu and pass it through a sieve.
Melt the chocolate in a water bath along with the agave syrup.
Whip the mixture with the silken tofu until creamy and season to your taste.
Place the mousse in the fridge overnight.
Garnish the mousse with the chopped nuts before serving.
This goes well with fresh fruit, a fruit sauce or a fruit mirror without gelatine, for example.

Drinks for brunch: Vegan thirst quenchers

In addition to all the delicious food, of course, the drinks should not be missing. With fair coffee (you can easily replace the milk with plant milk), fair tea and water, you won’t go wrong.

Juices also go well with a brunch buffet, but beware: not all juices are vegan. Gelatine is often used for clarification – this also applies to many beers and wines, by the way. So check if the juice uses a vegan gelatin substitute.

Make ACE Juice Yourself – and Never Buy It Again

Making ACE juice yourself has many advantages. The juice is freshly squeezed, rich in vitamins and without artificial additives. We’ll tell you how you can press the juice yourself – with and without a juicer.

If you make your own ACE juice, you can do without the juice from the supermarket in the future. This has many advantages. Oko-Test has shown that many packaged vegetable juices are often full of sugar. With homemade ACE juice, you can avoid adding sugar and avoid the sugar traps.

The juices from the supermarket also usually run through a mechanized process. Secondary plant substances are often lost during the pressing. If you make your own ACE juice, however, these are retained. You can also pay attention to organic quality when buying the ingredients and thus avoid chemical-synthetic pesticides in your juice.

We recommend buying the necessary fruit and vegetables seasonally. You can find out when you can buy certain types of fruit and vegetables from German cultivation in our seasonal calendar. So you can replace summer fruit in winter, for example, with fruit or vegetables that have a similar amount of vitamins or taste similar. Depending on what you feel like, you can vary the taste and color of the juice, and at the same time it remains a regional-seasonal juice with the A, C, and E vitamins.

Things to know about ACE juice

ACE Juice is a healthy soft drink made from juiced vegetables and fruits. The classic ingredients are oranges, carrots and water. In addition, vitamins and sugar are usually added to ready-made juice.

ACE juice owes its name to the vitamins it contains. So the juice should be rich in:

Beta carotene (provitamin A)
vitamin C
vitamin E
Carrots mainly contain beta-carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A. Oranges are rich in vitamin C. Vitamin E is found in vegetable oils, among other things. That’s why you should always mix some vegetable oil into your own juice. This also ensures that your body can absorb the fat-soluble beta-carotene. Other ingredients that are suitable for the juice are, for example, apples, ginger or beetroot.

Tip: Mix some lemon juice into your ACE juice. This will prevent the juice from discoloring due to oxidation.

Make ACE juice yourself: In the juicer

Ingredients:

2carrots
2apples
2oranges
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp vegetable oil (e.g. rapeseed, sunflower or linseed oil)
some mineral water

Directions:

Wash apples and carrots. Remove the core from the carrots and the core from the apple. Cut both into small pieces.
Peel the orange and cut into wedges.
Put apples, carrots and orange in the juicer.
Mix the fresh ACE juice with lemon juice and oil.
Dilute the ACE juice with a dash of water if you like.

Make ACE juice yourself: without a juicer

If you don’t have a juicer, use a blender and cheesecloth to make the ACE juice. This is how you can do it in just a few steps:

Wash the ingredients, peel them if necessary and cut them into the smallest possible pieces.
Put everything in a powerful blender. Puree fruits and vegetables to a fine pulp.
If your blender isn’t powerful enough, mix some lukewarm water into the ingredients.
Pour the puree through a fine sieve or cheesecloth and collect the juice in a container. Squeeze out the mass thoroughly.
Then add oil and water to your ACE juice as needed.
Tip: Store the fresh juice in sterile jars or bottles. The juice will keep in the fridge for a few days.

Juice Fasting Made Easy – These 8 Things You Should Know

What is juice fasting?

Juice fasting is a particularly gentle type of fasting in which the body is fed 5 to 7 large glasses of juice and at least 2 to 3 liters of still water and, if necessary, some tea every day.

In contrast to therapeutic fasting, where you have to do without any food, the body continues to be supplied with valuable vitamins, minerals and enzymes during the juice cleanse. Another plus point: With the right choice of juice, Lent can be enjoyed to the full.

How does juice fasting work?

The juice fast consists of a predetermined program. This extends over several days, for example as a 7-day program.

Regardless of the duration, a juice fasting regimen always follows the same pattern: It begins with a day of relief and preparation, followed by the actual fasting days and then the build-up days or the breaking of the fast. This sequence enables the body to optimally detoxify and get used to the dietary changes.

The best juices when fasting

Vegetable juices are mainly suitable for juice fasting, as they contain significantly less fructose than fruit juices, for example, and therefore do not cause the blood sugar level to rise too much. A fruit juice is also allowed every now and then.

In addition, the vegetable juices can be refined with fresh herbs, ginger, turmeric or some fruit. Coffee and alcohol are taboo during the fasting cure.

Which juices are best for juice fasting?

When choosing the juices, one thing is particularly important: your personal taste.

It is advisable to pay attention to a balanced mixture. Almost all fruit and vegetable juices are allowed, from celery, carrot, beetroot, tomato and sauerkraut juice to classic orange or grape juice. Even more unusual juices such as blackberry, raspberry or blueberry juice can contribute to an enjoyable fasting period.

How does juice fasting work?

Juice fasting ensures that the body is literally flushed through: overaged cells are removed and cell renewal is activated. The excretory organs transport the resulting metabolic products out of the body. These include skin and mucous membranes, liver, kidneys, intestines and lungs.

The high-quality juices, mainly from vegetables, provide the body with vitamins, minerals, enzymes and carbohydrates with only a few calories.

What are the risks of juice fasting?

Especially for short periods of time, around 7 to 14 days, juice fasting is harmless for healthy people in most cases. During this period, there are usually no deficiency symptoms or side effects.

During the first few days, you may occasionally experience headaches or tiredness or an increased sensation of cold. Hot tea helps with the latter. Heated vegetable juices prepared as a soup provide additional heat.

Who is juice fasting for?

In principle, every healthy, vital person can fast independently.

However, if you are unsure or have certain pre-existing conditions, you should refrain from juice fasting or at least seek medical advice beforehand. These include: heart disease, eating disorders, diabetes, poor circulation, high blood pressure, nutrient deficiencies and being underweight. Fasting is also generally not suitable for pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, children and young people.

Order fasting box

A balanced and colorful mixture of different juices is the ideal basis for a juice cleanse: Not only can this cover many nutrients – it also doesn’t get boring in terms of taste!

Make Soft Carrots Crunchy Again – a Simple Trick

Who doesn’t know it: You left carrots for too long and now they’ve gone soft? No problem! This simple trick will make them crunchy again.

If you leave carrots for too long, they will become soft and take on a rubbery texture. Of course, they are still suitable as an ingredient in cooking – but most people simply prefer crunchy carrots in salads or as a raw food snack.

Luckily, there’s a simple trick you can use to refresh soft carrots. Not only do you enhance their taste, but you also avoid potential food waste.

Tip: When buying carrots, make sure that they are organic if possible. You are supporting ecologically more sustainable agriculture that, for example, does not use chemical-synthetic pesticides. Root vegetables such as carrots absorb these pesticides particularly strongly from the soil. The organic seals from Demeter, Naturland and Bioland are particularly recommended.

Make soft carrots crunchy again: Here’s how

Here’s the trick to making soft carrots crunchy again:

Place the carrots in a tall glass.
Fill the jar with cold water so that all the carrots are covered.
Place the jar in the refrigerator or other cool place for at least 8 hours.
After this period of time, you can take them out and enjoy them fresh.

In another article, you will learn how to store carrots correctly so that they can be kept for a long time.

Making carrots crisp again: important tips

Depending on how soft the carrots are, they can take up to 48 hours in water to crisp up again.

Tip: tend to put the carrots in a larger glass, as they often become plumper and therefore more voluminous in the water.

Good to know: You can also freshen up other root vegetables such as radishes or turnips with this trick.

Eat Less Meat – This is How You Can Do It

Reducing your own meat consumption has many advantages for the environment, animals and health. And it’s easier than you think. We have tips on how to manage to eat less meat.

There are many good reasons to eat less meat: environmental protection, animal welfare, health, to name just a few. Perhaps you are toying with the idea of reducing your meat consumption or giving up meat altogether. On the one hand, this is not that difficult, on the other hand, we have a few tips here so that you can definitely succeed in eating less meat.

Don’t think too far into the future

If you start thinking too far ahead, you may feel a little overwhelmed by the change. It’s best not to think too much about what’s coming at first, just go for it and see how it goes for you. Thinking now about whether you will be able to do without a roast at Christmas is of relatively little use. Would you rather look for vegetarian snacks for a spring picnic or invite a few friends over for a vegetarian Easter brunch. That makes more sense – and more fun!

Don’t put yourself under pressure and don’t set big goals

Eating less meat shouldn’t become an exercise that puts you under pressure. Don’t set yourself any goals, at least not big ones. For example, from now on, “completely abstaining from meat forever” doesn’t have to be. Instead, try to set small goals, such as eating meat one day each week. Or set no specific goals at all, apart from reducing your meat consumption – without any benchmarks, quantities or time limits. So as little pressure as possible.

Tell others about it

Inform others about your intention to eat less meat (without brandishing the moral club). On the one hand, this strengthens your plan mentally, on the other hand, you may get positive encouragement that motivates you. Or – very practically – others may give you good tips or have meat-free recipe ideas to share with you.

Find like-minded people

It’s better together: This also applies to trying to eat less meat. Therefore, look for people who also want to remove meat from the menu or are already doing so. You may also find someone in your circle of friends who is also planning to eat less meat. Then you can start together and exchange ideas or support each other. It’s also more fun to try out new dishes and restaurants together.

There are also many veggie communities online. There you can exchange ideas with like-minded people, collect recipes or ask for insider tips: Where can you find good vegetarian sausages? How do I make Kohlrabi Schnitzel? Or who knows the best veggie kebab stand?

Try new things and experiment

Have you tried eggplant for the first time in your life? No problem, now is the opportunity to rediscover vegetables. For example, find a delicious recipe with aubergines and try again to see if you like aubergines. Or give Brussels sprouts a (new) chance, for example as a Brussels sprouts quiche.

But you can also combine vegetables that you have never eaten together before. For example, broccoli tastes great in a salad. Or fennel with orange – a poem!

Go eating

Especially if you live in a city, take advantage of the offer and look around for restaurants, cafes, takeaways and so on that have a vegetarian or vegan offer. There are now a variety of places in every major city that offer meat-free cuisine, from burgers to curries, sandwiches and home cooking, you’re sure to find something you’re looking for.

If you prefer to go to your local bar, then specifically ask for non-meat dishes there. Maybe you will discover new delicious dishes there that you have always overlooked. The advantage of eating out: You not only enjoy good vegetarian or vegan dishes, you also don’t have to cook or wash up yourself. Especially when starting out, it is also good to be inspired by chefs who have more experience with meat-free cuisine and show the corresponding finesse.

Eat less meat? Learn (vegetarian) cooking

If you prefer to cook for yourself, no problem either. On the contrary, you can now find countless recipes online, for example at Utopia. In addition, when you prepare (new dishes) yourself, you can enjoy the feeling of success that you get when you succeed in a recipe particularly well.

Especially if you don’t want to move in the direction of pudding vegetarian: in, it makes sense to lend a hand and cook with fresh and seasonal ingredients. The more colorful the better!

In many cities there are also vegetarian cooking courses and you will also find what you are looking for in bookstores if you are looking for vegetarian cookbooks. Maybe a good reason to visit your favorite bookstore again.

Eat what you like

Bolognese is your favorite dish? So why not cook vegan Bolognese from soy strips and make it your new favorite dish. If you don’t like something at all, for example the fennel mentioned above, then stick to meat-free foods or vegetables that you like to eat when making the switch. Or try it with dishes that you like. If you like tarte flambée, try a vegetarian version with asparagus.

Try plant-based meat alternatives

If you like schnitzel, sausage, nuggets and the like, then try vegan and vegetarian alternatives. You may be surprised and at the same time you don’t have to change your habits much.

If substitutes aren’t your thing, no problem, there are many vegan recipes that don’t require any meat substitutes at all.

Prevention is half the battle

So that you don’t throw in the towel out of habit, it’s better to take precautions. For example, if you don’t yet know where you can eat a good vegetarian meal during your lunch break, it’s better to pack leftovers from the previous evening’s dinner. At home, a supply of vegetarian ingredients, from lentils to vegetables, to tofu and tomato paste, is a good idea. In this way, delicious dishes can be conjured up quickly and you won’t be embarrassed to go back to the butcher’s meat loaf roll, especially during the break.

Also recommended: It is always good to have veggie snacks on hand for acute hunger pangs. Good snacks are nut mixes, crackers, fruit, muesli bars or a vegan snack sausage if you like to eat something like that in between. We recommend that you choose organic food here.

Pay attention to a balanced diet

Not least for the sake of your health, but also for the enjoyment of eating, you should ensure a balanced diet when you switch to a meat-free diet. Living only on fries may make you happy at times, but it takes revenge in the end.

By the way: How about chickpea fries? But not exclusively, please.

As with cooking, the same applies to eating: the more colourful, the better. When it comes to your diet, make sure that you cover your nutritional needs, for example to avoid hunger pangs. Vegetable proteins can help you with this. And try to eat as balanced and varied as possible, to integrate many different types of vegetables, fruit or cereals into your diet. Seeds, nuts and herbs (e.g. in salads) round off your meals and provide additional vitamins and nutrients. Also: the eye eats with you!

We also recommend that you buy regional, seasonal and organic food when it comes to groceries. This is not only good for you, but also protects the environment.
