HEALTHY PRODUCTS

Why should we buy our vegetables, fruits and plants in the supermarket when Amorgos offers so many fields to produce delicious, tasty and healthy products ?

A few years ago, Amorgos used to be all cultivated. People didn't have any choice. To eat they needed and had to produce their own products.
Unfortunatly, with the supermarkets a lot of them deicded to quit this difficult activity to buy their vegetables and fruits.
These products though are mostly coming from far away, are chemicals and often tasteless. Aegialis Hotel & Spa decided to go back to their fields and use their parents and grand-parents knowledge to offer healthy and tasty products to their guests.

Eating organic means eating nutritive products !

On average, organic products are 25% more nutritious in terms of vitamins and minerals than products derived from industrial agriculture. They contain higher levels of beta carotene, vitamins C,D and E, cancer-fighting antioxidants, flavonoids that help ward off heart disease, essential fatty acids, and essential minerals. In fact organic tomatoes, potatoes, cabbage, onions and lettuce have between 20% and 40% more nutrients than non-organic foods.

Eating organic products means eating pure food !

Organic food doesn't contain food additives, flavor enhancers, artificial sweeteners, contaminants or preservatives that can cause health problems. Eating organic has the potential to lower learning disorders, diabetes, cancer, coronary heart disease, allergies, osteoporosis, migraines and hyperactivity.
Organic food doesn't contain pesticides. More than 400 chemical pesticides are routinely used in conventional farming and residues remain on non-organic food even after washing.
Children are especially vulnerable to pesticide exposure. One class of pesticides, endocrine disruptors, may be responsible for early puberty and breast cancer. Pesticides are linked to asthma and cancer.
