Zoya BG – Organic products and super foods

The organic industry is growing also in Bulgaria. Especially in the capital Sofia natural and organic shops appear almost every month. However, not all of them resemble the real culture of an organic shop.

What I love about Zoya BG is its principles and total lack of commercialism. It has contributed a lot to help the consumers understand the differences between the concepts “natural” and “organic” – one unfortunately very manipulated topic in Bulgaria. It never advertises – it relies exclusively on word of mouth instead. And it seems to work.

Zoya BG is specialized on organic cosmetics, but it also offers a wide range of organic food and various books about healthy diet. Also, it’s the best place to buy the so called “super foods” – mostly imported by them from the UK. And that’s why I come here. Super foods are usually raw and contain high concentration of vitamins, minerals, microelements and enzyme systems. At first glance, they look expensive, but the daily quantity you need is rather small.

Super foods are perfect for healthy deserts and nutritious shakes. My favourite recipes are for bonbons with coconut butter, honey and cracked walnuts and for a shake – oat (or cow) milk, 1 banana, honey, cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of spirulina or cocoa powder. This would give you an impulse of physical and mental energy for the whole day – much better than any chemical energy drink.
