Fresh ingredients are the cornerstone of a healthy diet, and at Remicious Online, we go to great lengths to ensure every dish we prepare is made with the freshest produce available. Our ingredients are sourced directly from the fertile farms of Vihiga County and the bountiful waters of Lake Victoria, ensuring quality, flavor, and health benefits in every bite. Here’s why fresh ingredients are essential for your well-being:
1. Higher Nutritional Value
Fresh ingredients retain more nutrients compared to processed or preserved foods. Vegetables such as sukuma wiki (collard greens), spinach, and tomatoes lose their vitamins and minerals the longer they are stored. By sourcing our produce directly from nearby farms, we ensure the maximum retention of these essential nutrients. Fresh fish, like the Tilapia from Lake Victoria, is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are crucial for heart and brain health.
2. Enhanced Taste and Flavor
There’s no denying the superior taste of fresh ingredients. A fresh tomato bursts with natural sweetness, and freshly harvested herbs like coriander and basil add an aromatic depth to our dishes. The fish from Lake Victoria, caught and prepared on the same day, has a delicate and untainted flavor that’s unmatched by frozen or stored seafood.
3. Fewer Preservatives and Additives
Fresh ingredients don’t require artificial preservatives to extend their shelf life. At Remicious Online, we avoid canned, processed, or pre-packaged items, opting instead for farm-to-fork produce. This ensures your meals are free from unnecessary chemicals that could negatively affect your health over time.
4. Supports Healthy Digestion
Fresh fruits and vegetables are packed with dietary fiber, which supports digestion and gut health. Our dishes, such as kachumbari (a fresh tomato and onion salad), are not only delicious but also promote a healthy digestive system. Fiber-rich meals also help in maintaining healthy cholesterol levels and reducing the risk of heart disease.
5. Reduces the Risk of Chronic Diseases
Diets centered around fresh ingredients can lower the risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes, obesity, and hypertension. By choosing meals made with organic vegetables, free-range chicken, and freshly caught fish, you’re taking proactive steps toward a healthier lifestyle. The antioxidants found in fresh produce help fight inflammation and prevent cellular damage, contributing to long-term health benefits.
6. Boosts Energy Levels
Fresh food fuels your body better than processed meals. Whole grains, like the organic maize flour used in our ugali, provide slow-releasing energy that keeps you full and active throughout the day. Paired with fresh vegetables and lean proteins, our meals ensure a balanced diet that sustains you.
7. Environmentally Friendly Choices
By choosing fresh ingredients sourced from local farms, you’re also supporting environmentally friendly practices. The farms in Vihiga County rely on sustainable agriculture, reducing carbon emissions associated with transporting produce over long distances. Eating fresh not only benefits your health but also contributes to a healthier planet.
