Although Big Pharma, Big Food and Big Fashion have been accused of doing their best to disguise it, the natural world is brimming with life-enhancing ingredients which have been used for generations.
And although they have to potential for everything from curing the common cold to preventing life-threatening conditions from developing, the internet is now flooded with so many eco-conscious choices that it’s hard to decipher which to plump for.
That’s why we’ve collated the following five outstanding organic products for anyone interested in natural vitality — fill your boots and enjoy life the ethical way.
1) Trainers
Stylish trainers can be slipped on to pick up bits and bobs at the shops, for a rigorous gym workout session or even to add a postmodern flourish to a business suit.
And Veja vegan trainers are 100% cruelty-free and look fantastic to boot — so you can look cool with nothing bothering your conscience. There are several styles to choose from, so take a look online and decide which floats your fashion boat.
2) Baby clothes
Organic clothing doesn’t have to be crafted from harsh hopsack which is more suitable to storing potatoes than protecting sensitive skin — as proven by organic baby brands like Frugi.
Their cute and colourful boys and girls styles are almost too cute to describe and they now offer a fantastic maternity range for mothers who want to look stylish while they’re blooming.
By embracing materials like ethically sourced organic cotton and recycled plastic bottles, the supply chain for this clothing range is as green and clean as it comes.
3) Avocados
Once regarded with slight suspicion when smuggled unexpectedly on British plates, avocados are now a daily indulgence for millions of foodies — whether they’re baked and stuffed with chicken and cayenne pepper or served fresh with boiled eggs and chili flakes.
But sourcing organic avocados from Tanzanice provides the peace of mind that no harmful pesticides are used in their production and local farmers grab a good deal for all of their hard work.
4) Soursop
Soursop is also known as Graviola, and this spiky green fruit is packed full of fantastic health-giving properties.
This piquant plant has antioxidants which might reduce eye disease, anti-inflammatory properties to soothe joints and bones and, when boiled down into a tea, keeps the bowels running free and regular.
5) Lucuma
This South American superfruit tastes like a hybrid between citrus fruit and maple syrup and is rich in fibre, potassium and a host of other healthy ingredients.
You probably won’t find it in your local greengrocer, but online organic superstore Kijani Living stocks lacuma powder which can be conveniently blended into smoothies or added to yoghurts and cereals.
Swap some of your current shopping choices for these five outstanding organic products and you’ll feel confident that you’re playing your part in minimizing the damage mass consumption causes to fragile ecosystems.
So ends our list, but please share your own organic product tips in the comments section.
