Elevate Your Plate: The 'I Say Organic' Journey to A Wholesome Living

“To eat is a necessity, but to eat intelligently is an art.”

The above quote perfectly symbolizes the concept of organic food in modern times. Because I strongly believe that organic food is not just a trend; but a conscious choice towards a healthier and more sustainable lifestyle. Well! the necessity to eat might mean fulfilling our body's nutritional needs, but satisfying hunger is not always enough to ensure optimal health especially when we're so much into canned food, convenience food, dehydrated food, fast food, and frozen food. 

Many a times, such food is grown using synthetic fertilizers and pesticides & these chemicals might leave residues on the produce, causing several health issues in the long run.

Why to opt for organic food?
To ensure that your food is free from harmful residues and offers nutrition to your body, it's highly recommended to mindfully buy organic food items. Organic food often contains higher nutritional content compared to conventionally grown produce benefiting our overall well-being. 

Problem with procurement of organic food:
I've observed that many a times people who're willing to switch to organic produce are not able to either find it in their areas or have a limited range of products, which often becomes a limiting factor. Even in my case, lack of accessibility made it difficult for my family to consistently find and purchase the organic items we desired. And whatever we found was not feasible due to various constraints.

"I Say Organic" - do you too?

It's when I came across I Say Organic, a renowned marketplace, dedicated to the awareness, promotion and delivery of high-quality organic food items. With a commitment to providing consumers with a healthier and more sustainable alternative, I Say Organic came up as a trusted name in the domain of organic produce. By partnering with conscientious farmers and producer groups, they offer an extensive range of fresh, chemical-free, and pesticide-free food products. Their journey, rooted in the belief that safe and organic food should be easily accessible, has made them a leading advocate for a more environment friendly and health-conscious way of living. 

Glimpse of my shopping basket

As you might have assumed by now, I shopped my heart out from I say Organic from different product categories and this is how my extensive purchases look like. My order was delivered on the third day itself after placing an order and I appreciate that it was packed quite carefully to avoid the glass bottles from cracking during transit.

First of all, I picked products from organic whole foods category which includes lentils, grains, rice, millets, and more, coz they are nature's nutritional powerhouses, brimming with essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber. These unprocessed, unrefined ingredients retain all of their original goodness, making them a perfect choice for a balanced diet. 

Then I chose a few organic seeds and spices, including salts, premixes, sweeteners etc. which are a flavorful addition to any meals. My mom always says that spices are the culinary treasures that bring desired taste and aroma. So I grabbed some food staples for creating a delicious culinary experience.

Once the cooking essentials were done selection, I couldn't resist getting some delectable treats, ranging from nachos to chakli, bhujiya, chikki, mathri, and more that truly offer a delightful twist to usual snacking. Literally guiltfree snacking is another level of satisfaction with such munchies. 

Last but not the least, completed my order basket with these mouthwatering pickles and zesty sauces that are a must for families where moms need to fulfill kids' demands for weekend-special recipes.
