FOR YOUR HEALTH

Top 3 reasons

Boost your energy levels

Enjoy fresher, seasonal produce packed with more vitamins and minerals compared to supermarket alternatives, boosting overall health and vitality.

Reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease

Eating whole, organic vegetables has been shown to boost immunity and reduce risk of many illnesses, including cardiovascular.

Feel better in your body

Develop healthier eating habits and a deeper connection to food, contributing to better physical and mental well-being.

Eat fresh, eat local.

Eating local, fresh vegetables is one of the best ways to ensure optimal health. At Growing Communities, our produce is harvested at its peak, helping you get the most out of your meals. Research shows that vegetables lose up to 50% of their nutrients within a week of harvest, but our local delivery model ensures your veg retains as much of its nutritional benefits as possible. And unlike much of the supermarket produce, our veg doesn't have preservatives or harmful preservative processes. Straight from the farmer's fields to your local area. Given how depleted much of today's produce is in nutrients and vitamins, that's a big win for you.

Organic and pesticide-free: Protect yourself from harmful chemicals found in non-organic produce, which can contain up to four times more pesticide residue.
Boost your immune system: A diet rich in fresh, varied vegetables supports gut health, reduces inflammation, and strengthens your immunity.
Convenience: Skip the supermarket - get nutrient-dense, organic veg boxes delivered to your community.

Eat natural

It's no secret that eating natural foods is better for your health and well-being overall. The evidence is clear: eating fresh, whole foods with minimal processing is the optimum food choice for your health.

Six reasons to choose natural food

1. Better Nutrition
Whole foods are nutrient-dense, packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that are often stripped out during processing.

2. Improved Digestive Health
High in fiber, whole foods promote a healthy gut, support digestion, and prevent common digestive issues like bloating.

3. Sustained Energy Levels
Whole foods provide steady energy, helping you avoid the spikes and crashes often associated with processed foods.

4. Lower Risk of Chronic Diseases
A diet rich in natural foods reduces the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers.

5. Supports Weight Management
Whole foods are naturally lower in empty calories and help manage cravings, making them ideal for maintaining a healthy weight.

6. Enhanced Mental Health
Diets based on whole foods are linked to better mental well-being, as they support brain function and cognitive health.

With a variety of seasonal produce, you’re naturally encouraged to eat a diverse range of vegetables, supporting gut health, boosting immunity, and promoting longevity. A study in the journal Nutrients even found that eating a diverse plant-based diet can lower the risk of heart disease by 31%.

The world has over 50 000 edible plants. Just three of them, rice, maize and wheat, provide 60 percent of the world's food energy intake. And just 15 plants account for 90% of human energy intake (excluding meat and fish). These plants and the varieties of them chosen for farming are selected not for their bio diversity and nutrient & photochemical abundance - they are chosen for their speed of growth, volume and ease of growth + harvesting. Quantity over quality.

Conversely, the wide variety of plants and vegetables found in our veg box scheme, combined with the selection of heirloom varieties (non-industrial farmed varieties) have been found to be more nutrient dense and much richer in photochemicals.
