Natural Foods
Here at
Evergreen we believe that every person has to right to good health. Introducing
health food like organic vegetables and gluten-free products to your diet ensures long term wellbeing, especially for those who suffer from
food intolerances like coeliac and diabetes. These individuals often benefit from substituting certain foodstuffs (e.g. milk, nuts, eggs, fish, etc.) for foods that have similar nutrient values but have a less irritating effect on the system. We select only the highest quality products to ensure that our clients get the very best value for their money, so you can rest easy that any item you purchase at our store comes with a quality guarantee.

Commonly used additives such as sugar and salt have been linked to tooth decay, obesity and high blood pressure, yet we continue to use it daily. Why not take the time to research alternatives and incorporate these into your diet? By swopping sugar for natural sweeteners like Xylitol you will not only give your digestive system a bit of a break, you will also lose some weight. Other dietary substitutes to consider include wheat- and gluten free items. Cutting out wheat products for a while has been shown to relieve the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome, as well as those associated with common skin conditions, so why not give it a try. Alternatively, switch your daily coffee fix with some nice herbal teas. Look in our
organic food section and try green tea, camomile tea or the lesser known brews – fennel and heather.
Fair-trade organic produce is not only good for your health; it’s also good for the economy, so you can indulge in these delicious products without a care in the world. There was a time when
organic groceries were only available at speciality stores and retailed at prices a bit higher than that of ‘normal’ food, but luckily all of that has changed in recent years. Now we can all afford to invest in our wellbeing. Did you know that organic fruits and vegetables contain over 40% more antioxidants that normal foods? Considering this, you can see why organic shopping equals smarter shopping.
Healthy food doesn’t need to be boring. For those who enjoy the taste of beets, we recommend
Biotta Beetroot Juice. This interesting drink is packed to the brim with all the juicy goodness of freshly harvested beets and packs a mean nutritional punch that will have your immune system fighting fit in no time. Alternatively, opt for our tasty substitute for ordinary breakfast cereal – Kallo Organic Gluten Free Puffed Rice Cereal. All natural with no added sodium or artificial colouring, this gluten-free muesli is the perfect way to begin your day.
So why not add a dash of customary Irish fare to your next meal by introducing the tasty Carraig Fhada Kombu vegetable to your soup or salad. This nourishing sea-vegetable is thick, moist and flavoursome. It can be added to any meal as you see fit, plus it had the advantage of possibly relieving constipation and colitis. For a real treat and without the worry of added kilograms, eat a scrumptious Panda Liquorice bar. This delicious snack has less than 0.5% fat, making it the perfect dessert for dieters, vegans or vegetarians. Or pick the
Blakes Organic Chocolate, which is both 100% organic and gluten-free. This is a silky-smooth experience and because it is extra dark, Blakes contains less fat than most renowned brands of chocolate.
