Lombardia & organic food?

Alain Indria: "Where possible Lombardia uses organic food. The most important thing, for me, is that the food looks good, tastes good and is healthy! Lombardia buys and serves organic food, when the organic produce is really good, for instance from Lima and Provamel. An organic cucumber has much more taste than a regular cucumber, so that's what I buy! On the other hand, I think organic mint has no taste, so I don't buy it.
By having an open mind and welcoming great customers in the restaurant, I can promote tasty vegetarian dishes and organic food to a wider audience.'

Why choose organic food?

Healthy eating? Organic food is cultivated without the use of fertilisers and chemical additives, and does not come into contact with genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Nature is allowed to take its course and fruit and vegetables are harvested when they are ripe. Studies have shown that, as a result, organic food contains higher levels of vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants.
