I decided to gather here some guides to help people find where to buy quality food and options to eat out according to food or lifestyle, anywhere in Brazil.
I am super in favor of consumption in markets, fairs and local businesses, not only for stimulating the internal economy, but also because it is a way of knowing the origin of our food and increasing the guarantee of the quality of our food. When we buy from local markets or fairs, we have the opportunity to get to know the supplier and have more variety of foods that accompany the seasons and are therefore more nutritious at this stage.
- where to find organic – Some options in the São Paulo region, also home delivery options.
- Cerealist Zone (SP) – greater variety of food and at a fairer price.
- Solli Organic Market – Good option of organic products for those who are in SP.
- Santa Julia Organic – A charming corner with organic hortifruti options and some other products too.
- ground institute – A model of solidarity economy. In the space there is a grocery store, a fair and a coffee with organic and handmade products.

It can be a possibility for those who don’t live in urban centers with many more natural markets or if you want to buy something that is not typical of your region. But, it is worth remembering that there are always local fairs and it is important to encourage this in your community. Anyway, here are some sites I recommend for buying food:
The https://zonacerealista.com.br – Flours, cereals, superfoods, etc.
The http://www.diaita.com.br/ – Healthy, gluten-free breads, cakes and snacks
The https://www.natue.com.br/ – Various different products, superfoods and gluten-free pasta
The www.monamaorganicos.com.br – Cocoa nibs and cereal bars
The www.iherb.com – To find imported products : supplements, nutritional yeast and etc.

Eating out…
Making food at home is very good, receiving friends, cooking for those we like, in addition to being one of the most efficient ways to ensure the quality of what you eat. Nowadays recipes are increasingly exotic, there are thousands of foods available, thousands of people sharing recipes, but not always easy to find the ingredients. There is also another situation, those days when we want to break the routine, relax, be served in a restaurant, eat something tasty and different from what we are used to. Or we still have people who have a super busy routine, with little, if not zero, time to cook, and end up eating always on the street. The situations are diverse and my goal is to encourage and give some tools to direct people in these situations:
- vegetarians – Put the region where you need it and some options will appear.
- restaurant guide – Here you can find restaurants filtering by restrictions or food allergies.
- Places I love to eat In São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and some options for those who come to visit California.
Nowadays we have thousands of restaurants with quality food and I’m super in favor of supporting the local food and small business commerce that follow the philosophy of offering real and quality food to customers. Soon I will make a list of restaurants that I recommend and with suggestions for dishes.
