THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ORGANIC & NON-ORGANIC FOODS

Why is organic food more expensive than other foods? Is it really healthier? Let’s find out the difference between these two foods with Annam Gourmet to choose the right food for family meals!

Non-Organic food

Non-Organic food is grown from safe farming sources and still uses chemicals such as pesticides, synthetic chemicals. The use of chemicals is carried out in the legal process so that the product has low chemical residues and is not harmful to human health. The nutritious value in non-organic foods is lower than organic ones due to the use of chemical fertilizers.

In addition, you can find out more about fresh quality products that meet VietGAP standard based on 4 criteria:

  1. Manufacturing techniques must set strict standards
  2. When harvested, the food is guaranteed to be free from chemical contamination or physical contamination
  3. The production environment does not abuse the labor of farmers
  4. The traceability of products is available

Organic food

Organic food includes vegetables, fruits, grains, meat, dairy products, eggs, honey, etc. And food to be called “Organic” must meet the following standard:

  1. Organic food production requires doing in a secure ecosystem, away from industrial plants and water sources with low levels of natural toxins.
  2. Fruit and vegetable products are grown naturally, irrigated with natural fertilizers, without pesticides or chemical fertilizers.
  3. Organic meat is meat from animals raised under standard, all-natural, and organic feed conditions. Industrial animals are grazed and prevented from diseases by natural methods.

That’s why organic food is often fresher, and can be richer in certain nutrients. Studies have shown ​​that levels of certain nutrients, including omega-3 fatty acids, were up to 50 percent higher in organic meat and milk than in conventionally raised versions. Plus, organic foods are locally grown and pose very minimal interference to the environmental resources that support healthy living. To be precise, organic farming lessens the long-term human health implications caused by air, water, and soil pollution.

At Annam Gourmet, you will have a wide selection of organic products, such as fruit, vegetable, and organic formula flour products. Join us in protecting your family’s health!

HOW TO CELEBRATE OKTOBERFEST FESTIVAL AT HOME

This year, we have celebrated many festivals at home, so make sure you don’t miss this world’s largest Oktoberfest beer festival. Let’s get ready to prepare your exciting home-festival with Annam Gourmet!

Oktoberfest is the largest world German beer festival since 1810. Every year, the citizens of Bavaria will hold this festival to honor the best flavors of beer. Plus, it is well-known that beer is the pride and the most characteristic specialty of Deutch national culture. Many people even joked that the Germans have created this Oktoberfest festival to drink beer freely.

What beer should we choose at Home-Oktoberfest?

At Annam Gourmet, you have a diverse selection of beers to choose the one that suits your taste. We provide the high-class imported beers, such as Desperados beer with a rich flavor of the tequila, or Wold Top beer with a distinctive slightly bitter taste, with a light greasy aroma of biscuits and caramel; or Grimbergen White beer with a combination of the acidulated-fermented fruit with floral aromas and vanilla.

Besides, you can choose craft beers with many unique and refreshing flavors, giving you an enjoyable experience.

If you don’t drink alcohol? We also get your back with non-alcoholic beer such as Old Jamaica Ginger beer, especially for those who cannot drink alcohol but still want to experience this festival at home or for pregnant women. 

Bring on the Finger Food!

Drinking beer cannot be complete without a side dish, luxuriously called an appetizer or popularly called a grub. We can drink beer with many different dishes, from savory dishes to light snacks.

Beer & Pretzel: this is the most traditional way of enjoying beer among the Bavarians. The slightly salty, crunchy cake layers creates an interesting texture when enjoyed with beer.

Beer & Savory Sausages: this is a classic combination of two iconic German dishes, so it’s not surprising that they are the perfect pair. The greasy sausage taste will take the rich beer taste to a new level. 

Beer & Roasted Nuts: and of course, the delicious Pam’s mixed nuts are an indispensable choice. With a slightly nutty and salty taste, Pam’s mixed nuts will help soften the beer bitterness so you can enjoy your beer to the fullest.

Let’s enjoy a fun and healthy Oktoberfest at home with Annam Gourmet!
